Biography

Hailing from an area of stone quarries in Yorkshire, John Ogden and Richard Ogden, residents of Stamford, were contracted by the Director General of the [Dutch] West India Company, Willem Kieft, to build a church in the fort at New Amsterdam, New Netherland [Manhattan, New York County, New York] in May 1642 "of cliffstone, seventy-two feet long, fifty-four feet broad [and] sixteen feet high". The Church of Saint Nicholas, completed in 1644, was constructed of rough stone and the exterior walls were clad with oak shingles.

Richard Ogden was one of the original 50 proprietors of Heemsteede, New Netherland [Hempstead, Nassau County, New York] in 1644, together with his brother, Mr. John Ogden ("The Pilgrim"). The brothers were only two of at least a dozen town founders originally from Yorkshire.
