  	Swaine Ogden was born in Newark, New Jersey, in which place his parents had spent all their married life, but he First appears upon record at Hackensack, New Jersey, where he married a Dutch lady, and where nearly all of his children were born and baptized. The baptismal register of the old Dutch Church at Hackensack would indicate that he returned to Newark or vicinity after his son Nathaniel was baptized in 1722. Four other children were added to the family, the Youngest of whom was John, who was baptized at the Dutch Church in Belleville, a suburb of Newark, in 1729. The records of 1727 speak of him as "Swain Ogden of Newark." On May 4th of that year he is sued for £100 by one James Rogers, and gives bond for £200. At the April term of court in Newark, 1729, Swaine Ogden13 and others were appointed overseers for Newark. His residence was probably near Orange, as he and his family were buried in the old cemetery in that place. This leads us to the record of a very sad experience of that early pioneer Day, related in " Wick's History of the Oranges." "A fearful pestilence," believed to be identical with the diphtheria of our Day, made its appearance at Kingston, New Hampshire, during a cold, wet season in the month of May, and was peculiarly fatal to children During that year and the following one, it spread southward through Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, "almost stripping the country of children." Of the First forty cases, none recovered. The ravages of the dread disease in New Jersey during 1735 brought untold sOrrow to the homes of the settlers, and a mute tombstone in the old. parish graveyard of Orange bears this sad inscription: "Mary Dec'd April ye 7, aged 9 years Sarah Dec'd April ye 9. aged 11 years John Dec'd April ye 13, aged 6 years 1735 Ye children of Swain and Mary Ogden Memento mori "
