The second son ofAlexander Ogle and uncle ofAndrew Jackson Ogle, Charles Ogle was born inSomerset, Pennsylvania, in 1798.[2] He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1822 and commenced practice in Somerset. He served on the Common Pleas Bench for Lancaster County.[3]He graduated from Washington College (nowWashington & Jefferson College) in 1817.[4]
