David A. Ogden (1770–1829), a native of New Jersey, became active in New York government as a lawyer and professional associate of Alexander Hamilton, a judge in the court of common pleas, and a member of the state assembly. He was implicated in endorsing Aaron Burr among the New York congressional delegation in the election of 1800. Ogden served as a one-term Federalist representative from New York to the Fifteenth Congress and as a commissioner to settle the boundary dispute between the United States and Canada. The New York city directories for 1802, 1803, and 1804, listed him as a “counsellor at law” residing at 33 Broad Street (Biog. Dir.
