BARRICK FRANCIS OGLEVEE,
a farmer of Cadiz Township, Harrison County, was born in Moorefield Township,
Harrison Co., Ohio, Mar. 3, 1848, a son of William Ogelvee, also a native
of Harrison County, and by occupation also a farmer. The grandfather of
our subject was John Oglevee, a native of Pennsylvania, of Irish
extraction. The ancestors, farther back, came to America in the latter
part of the last century, but the exact date has not been preserved.
John Oglevee enlisted as a soldier in the War of 1812, but on his way to the
front was taken ill and had to return to his home; he never recovered and soon
after passed from earth. William Oglevee grew to manhood on the
farm, and was married to Miss Susanna Price, a native of Belmont County,
Ohio, in which county both of her parents died. After their marriage
Mr. and Mrs. Oglevee made their home in Moorefield Township, Harrison
County, and here in 1869 the mother died, having borne eleven children, as
follows: John, living in Morgan County, Ohio; George,
deceased; Agnes, now Mrs. A. Hammond, in Athens Township, Harrison
County; Hugh, in New Athens; Elizabeth now Mrs. D. S. Lance,
our subject; Annie, deceased, and Sadie, now Mrs. O. R.
McFadden in Athens Township. In 1884 the father passed from earth, at
the age of seventy-eight years.
B. F. Oglevee was reared and educated a farmer.
His education of his native county, and in 1879 he was united in marriage with
Agnes, daughter of James and Elizabeth Haverfield, of Cadiz
Township, Harrison County. In 1885 Mr. Oglevee and wife came to
their present home, which under their management has been amply improved, and
the home is among the best in the township, improvements in the way of buildings
being entirely of their making. The farm is a fertile one of ninety acres,
situated some three and a half miles west of the county seat. Politically
Mr. Oglevee is a Republican, standing firmly for his opinions in that as
in everything else. The father having been one of the stanchest and
earliest of the Abolitionists in his vicinity, the children seemed to inherit
the very principles of the Republican party, and stand firmly by it.
Mr. and Mrs. Oglevee are members of the United Presbyterian Church at Cadiz.
Their union has been blessed by two children, twins, named Nannie and
Nellie.

DAVID OGLEVEE,
one of the prosperous, retired agriculturists of Cadiz Township, Harrison
County, was born in Moorefield Township, Harrison Co., Ohio, May 10, 1837.
The paternal grandfather came to the county from Pennsylvania in an early day,
and his son William, father of David, was born in Athens Township
in 1810. When a boy he (William) moved with his parents to
Moorefield Township, where he was reared on a farm, attending the common schools
of the district. In 1830 he was married to Susanna, daughter of
John Price, of Big Stillwater, Belmont Co., Ohio, whither her
parents, who were by birth English, had come in an early day. After
marriage Mr. and Mrs. William Oglevee settled
in Moorefield Township, and reared their family of eleven children, of whom the
following is a brief record: John lives in Morgan County, Ohio; George
is deceased; Agnes is the wife of Archibald Hammond, of New
Athens, Harrison County; David is the subject proper of these lines;
Hugh is in New Athens; Elizabeth is the wife of D. S. Lantz,
of Belmont County, Ohio; Jane died in Kansas; James is deceased;
B. Frank lives in Cadiz Township; Annie is deceased; Sadie
is the wife of O. R. McFadden, in Athens Township, Harrison
County. The mother died in 1878, at the age of sixty-eight years, and the
father Aug. 1, 1884, when aged seventy-six years. He was in all respects a
self-made man, having commenced life poor, making his success entirely by his
own individual efforts, and at his death he was in a position to leave each of
his surviving children a good farm. Politically he was first a Whig, and
afterward a Republican, and he and wife were members of the Presbyterian Church
in Nottingham Township.
David Oglevee, whose name appears at the
opening of this biographical sketch, received a good common-school education,
and shared in the general arduous duties of the home farm. In October,
1866, he was married to Miss Jennie, daughter of William and Mary
Ramsey, of Harrison County, who carried on farming in Nottingham Township,
but later came to the town of Cadiz to live retired. John Ramsey,
father of William, was among the early settlers of Harrison County,
coming from Pennsylvania. William Ramsey was a young man
when he came to the county, and here married Miss Mary,
daughter of John Hines, another of the early comers to the county.
After marriage our subject and wife remained on the farm in Moorefield Township
until Apr. 1, 1889, when they purchased a home on Grant Street, Cadiz, and are
here now living in peaceful retirement. No children blessed this union,
but their home has been cheered by the presence of a niece, Sadie O. Lantz,
who brightens and gladdens their path in life. Politically Mr.
Oglevee is a Republican, but has been no office seeker. He and his
wife are much esteemed far and wide. His farm of 101 acres of prime land
is situated some five miles east of Moorefield.
