With respect to Jacob and Constant, I've done quite a bit of research on this. At first I thought it was Constance Perkins but I?m certain it is not. I have seen a lot of trees on Ancestry.com that claim it's Constance Perkins but I don?t believe that. Thomas Christian was an adjacent landowner of Richard Oglesby, Jacob's father, (as confirmed through land grant records) and he had a daughter named Constant. I have a copy of Thomas' will and he names Constant as a daughter. Additionally, we have a relative named Mary Christian Oglesby, daughter of Jacob Oglesby (son of Jacob Oglesby and Constant) and his wife Mildred Martin. Mary Christian married Coleman Estes. I have a copy of Coleman's will and in that will Mary?s middle name is confirmed as ?Christian.? It was not uncommon for girls back then to take the grandmother's maiden name as the middle name (this happened elsewhere in the Oglesby tree - e.g., Elizabeth Dancy Cole). Based on this evidence I think it?s pretty certain that Constant Christian is the wife of Jacob Oglesby, son of Richard.

Constant^ married Jacob^ Oglesby in 1726 in Goochland, Goochland Co, Virginia. Jacob^ (son of Richard^ Oglesby, (immigrant) and Susannah^ Ware) was born in 1709 in Henrico Co, Virginia; died in 1780 in Goochland, Goochland Co, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

William married Ann Perkins about 1747 in Virginia. Ann was born about 1727; died after 1770 in of, Buckingham Co, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Research Notes:
In 2009 when John had his YDNA test the results came back as match in 37 and 67 tests. No common denominator was found. On Feb 27, 2013, a tester in the Oglesby group, Richard Arthur (Oglesby) Wilson, was a match to him in the 37, with a step 2 match. As it turned out, the Sheltons married into the Oglesby line with the marriage of Gustavas Adolphus Oglesby, so assuming that must be the reason the Shelton line showed a match.
Richard Arthur descends from Jesse Oglesby; and Gustavas descends from Contant, Sr., Jesse and Contant being brothers, Jacob Oglesby being their father, making Jesse the great-uncle of Gustavas.

Residence:
CONTANT OGLESBY NARRATIVE According to family history, it was too hot and too dry in SC and they moved to Christian Co., KY in 1803. As you go from Greenville, KY on Hwy 189, after crossing Pond River into Christian Co., on top of a hill is a house on the left - just a little off the road. Constant lived behind that house near a spring; at last account, it is still owned by direct descendants through Jacob, son of Constant. On the right is a clump of trees, this is where Constant & Nancy are supposedly buried. A wee bit south of that, at Apex, an old road crosses going out to Natural Rock Bridge. That road was supposedly the Red Banks Trace (Henderson, KY).
Nancy, daughter of Constant, was the first white woman to cross the natural rock bridge. Constant Oglesby's family is buried on a hill above Pond River, Hwy 62. His wife Nancy is buried near a clump of trees with sandstone markers and a wire fence. (Also noted is that it is Hwy 189 and that nothing is left but sandstone rocks.)

She was sister to Lucinda Shelton who was mother of Winfield Scott Shelton whose descendant was the Shelton test. See notes on Gustavus, but he is likely the father of Lucinda's child, Winfield Scott, thus the Shelter tester and the Olgesby tester matching. Jesse is the great-uncle of Gustavas.

Jesse married Celia Witt on 15 Sep 1794 in Amherst Co, Virginia. Celia was born in May 1779 in Amherst, Amherst Co, Virginia; died on 3 Mar 1855 in Richmond, Madison Co, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is given as father of Ann Oglesby Knight on her death record. It shows her born 1798. Jane Oglesby is shown in 1850 Christian County KY with a family of Johnsons. She was born 1780 VA. It's more likely he is a son of Jacob rather than Jesse or Constant, especially with the Virginia connection.

John married Mrs. Jane (..) Oglesby about 1797. Jane was born in 1780 in Virginia; died after 1850 in of, Christian Co, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"At least one source lists Peter as a son of Jacob Oglesby, but I have seen no direct evidence that this is so. It is, however, likely, since Jacob Oglesby was living in Amherst Co at the time of Peter & Sally's marriage."
