Born c.1690, Hannah Ogden was the daughter of Jasper and Joanna (nee Swaine) Crane of Newark, and the first wife of the esteemed Robert Ogden, Esq., of Elizabethtown. Married in 1712, the couple became the parents of six children: Hannah, Robert, Phebe, Moses, Elihu, and David. She died at age 36, predeceasing her husband by seven years.
Mrs. Ogden's gravestone was cut by an unidentified craftsman known as the "Old Elizabethtown Soul Carver I", active in the 1720-30's, and whose work is distinguished by highly detailed mortality imagery and the unusual use of skull-with-cross-bones soul effigies. Mrs. Ogden's brown sandstone stele reflects the Puritanical emphasis on the brevity and frailty of life on earth, and the eternal reward which awaits the Elect.
