Dr Ogburn, just saw your 2018 inquiry regarding “Captain Ogburn won a victory against a British Frigate in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island in the American Revolutionary War.”

My 4th g grandfather, Archibald Heffington served under him in 1777. Have you had any luck with your search?

I’m sorry for the lateness of this comment to the point you raised. It is clear that when slavery was abolished in America that those emancipated in many cases took the surname of their former ‘owner’ – see this page https://www.ogbourne.com/the-african-american-ogburns/
As to whether blood relationships existed sounds quite likely between the different races.

I’ve read with interest your comments on the website and it seems that there could be a connection with John, son of Matthew Ogburn who is mentioned in Matthew’s will which can be seen on this page:  https://www.ogbourne.com/wills-since-1455/will-of-matthew-ogburn-1839-tenessee/
It is unfortunately an evidence of the state of things at that time

His name was Lee Ogburn and his owner/father was supposedly John Ogburn of Montgomery County Tennessee.
