Dear Scholars,
I recently corresponded with a list member about the very interesting "title-match" marriages of the children of William Fitzhugh Whitehouse and his wife, Frances Abigail Sheldon, of New York and spent some time tracing their ancestry only to find that an outstanding job had already been done by Robert Battle whose report on the ancestry of their great-grandson, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, of Rhode Island, appears here:

During the course of my research I printed, in its entirety, _The Ogden Family in America, Elizabethtown Branch and Their English Ancestry …, compiled by William Ogden Wheeler_ available on googlebooks. Though I’m not a descendant, I've used it frequently in the past and have a fair number of distant cousin connections listed therein. The volume covers some American ancestry of William Rudolph Michael Feilding, 11th Earl of Denbigh, 10th Earl of Desmond which I brought to Leo’s attention but didn’t post here since there’s no pre-1600’s ancestry involved.
The Ogden Family … also includes some of the ancestry of Hetty Bull Beatty, the paternal grandmother of Alfred Chester Beatty, II, the maternal grandfather of Hon. David Guy Greville, (b. 1957), eldest son and heir of the 8th Earl of Warwick. I’ve been working on this ancestry sporadically and would have preferred to spend more time on it, but am pleased to report a descent from Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde, ancestors (twice) of the late Princess of Wales.
