Benjamin married Mary Ogden. Mary (daughter of Gabriel Ogden and Mary Shotwell) was born in 1758; died on 19 May 1838. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Tradition says this (Mrs) Mary Shackelton (whose maiden name was Mary Ogden), the second wife, was very proud; that when dressed for church she would wrap herself in a sheet to avoid contact with her husband while on the way, fearing he
would disarrange her toilet. She would array him in ruffles, a cocked hat and knee breeches, a costume he was unused to, and take him into distinguished society. This marriage was said not to have been pleasant or congenial, and a
separation occurred.



She had eight children by her former husband, Shackelton, named as follows: Sarah, Lydia, Elizabeth, John, Mary, Rachel, Robert, and Benjamin. They lived between Blairstown and Hope. Mary, their mother, died May 19, 1830, and was buried
near her residence in a cemetery close by a brick school house. Arason's widow says she understands Shackelton's name to have been Benjamin, and that he died previous to the birth of his youngest son, who was named for him on that account.
