Island House

From Canton Library "Scrapbook" Article - 1956 "The Island House of the Ogdens was begun in 1811 and was finished in 1816.  It was then occupied by David Ogden and his family.  It stood as a north country landmark for generations but will be razed by the power authority this fall.  In 1880 the house passed out of the Ogden family and was purchased by Ebeneezer Crasper. He made extensive repairs on the house and added a cupola.   The original house was 54 feet square and wings were added later.  The house has 12 fireplaces and four chimneys.....There was a fire in 1941 which burned the top story and roof." http://scrapbooks.cantonfreelibrary.org

From 1873/4 Child's Gazetteer:

(5) David A. Ogden was born at Morristown, N. J. He, with his father, Abraham Ogden, and brother, Thomas L. Ogden, all of whom then resided in Newark, N.J., purchased the town of Madrid from Wm. Constable in 1796. In 1803, after the death of the father, the two brothers, having become sole owners, sold one-third to Joshua Waddington of New York. David A. Ogden studied law in the office of his father, who was also otherwise interested in lands in this county, in connection with Josiah Ogden Hoffman, his brother-in-law. About the time of his father's death he removed to New York, where in company with his brother, T. L. Ogden, he practiced his profession, and formed a business connection with Alex. Hamilton which was terminated by the memorable duel between that gentleman and Aaron Burr. He continued the practice of law in the metropolis until his attention was directed to the establishment of a homestead upon the island which bears his family name. The ready sympathy and assistance he extended toward the early settlers in the town is still remembered with the warmest gratitude. He was elected to the Assembly in 1814 and 1815, and was a Representative in Congress from this state from 1817 to 1819. He held the office of county judge eight years and resigned in consequence of declining health. He died at Montreal, at the age of sixty, June 9, 1829, and his remains were brought to Waddington and interred there.
