  (1,3,5) Captain of Cavalry in his British Majesty's Service.
  (1) 1731, 21 Aug: Received a commission as Governor of Maryland from Lord Baltimore.
  (3,5) 1731, 5 Oct: Set out for MD from Falmouth, England.
  (2,5) 1731, 2 Dec: Landed in Annapolis, MD "after a very ruff passage."
  (1,5) 1731, 7 Dec: Took over the office of Governor, 7 Dec. (1) At age 37. (3) He presente d his commission the Assembly and took the oaths of office on 18 Dec. He commented on the sta tus of the colony, "All things put together were enough to frighten a man out of his wits." ( 3,5) His predecessor, Benedict Leonard Calvert, brother of Lord Baltimore, and the legislatur e had been at odds, judges had refused to take oaths, fees and rents were not being collecte d and there was dispute with Pennsylvania over their boundaries. (3) "I cant promise to do ev erything to your lords Content, but this I am sure of, that nobody in the world can set abou t your Service with more Zeal and true Concern for your Prosperity than I shall do, so tha t I hope at least you will be perfectly Satisfied with the Sincerity of my intentions." The d ecisions reached during his term on fees, quit rents and the governor's salary were to remai n basically unchanged up to the time of the Revolution. (5) As governor, he "made it his firs t care not to show a disregard for any faction, and he was somewhat successful in his effort s to win the support of leaders of the opposition by promises of lucrative offices." He issue d proclamations for the apprehension and punishment of persons guilty of inciting mob violenc e for the destruction of tobacco plants. By accepting a compromise, he ended a disoute over w hether the English statutes should be extended to MD, a question that had been a chief sourc e of discord between the governor and Assembly since 1722. He ably defended the interests o f MD in the border warfare arising from the boundary dispute with PA. (8) 1732: Lord Baltimor e appointed Samuel Ogle as his representative in Annapolis. The Legislature gave 3,000 pound s for a Governor's residence, but it was not used by Governor Ogle, then a bachelor. He soo n engaged in the controversy concerning the dividing line of MD and PA. Lord Baltimore, despa iring of receiving his rights, had decided to accept a compromise.  Disturbances had for seve ral years been created by the German settlers on the disputed territory. Capt. Thomas Cresa p formed an association to drive out the Germans, and in this contest one man was killed, whi le Cresap was wounded and taken prisoner. Gov. Ogle sent Edmund Jennings and Daniel Dulany t o Philadelphia to demand Cresap's release. They failed. Reprisals were ordered, and 4 German s were arrested and taken to Baltimore. Penn sent a committee to Gov. Ogle to treat, but th e Governor's demands were not accepted. Riots upon the contested border increased and Gov. Og le addressed the King, who replied by enjoining both Governors to keep the peace and to allo w no settlers in the disputed territory until his wishes were made known. Affairs were in suc h a serious condition that Lord Baltimore came over to the Province and assumed charge for on e year.
  (1,3,5) 1732, 18 Dec: Charles Calvert, 5th Lord Baltimore, came to MD as Proprietary and Go vernor Ogle stepped down.
  (1,3,5) 1733, 11 Jul: Was recommissioned Governor when Charles Calvert returned to England . Under his leadership, the Currency Act was passed establishing a system of paper money in M D.

Jacob Henderson, then owner of Belair through his wife Mary __ (Duvall) (Rid geley) Henderson, presented 4 acres "being part of a tract of land called the Glebe whereon t here is a Chapple now standing" as a gift to Lord Baltimore for the use of Queen Anne's Paris h. The chapel, known as Henderson's Chapel and sometimes as the Forest Chapel, was started b y Mrs. Mary Henderson "before her Intermarriage with the reverend Mr. Jacob Henderson for th e Ease of the Parishioners of the Upper End." It was the forerunner of the Holy Trinity Episc opal Church. In the deed, Henderson reserved the chapel's gallery "to the following uses... t he middle pew to the use of his Excellency Samuel Ogle Esquire his heirs and assigns forever. " "Belair" is 16 miles from Annapolis.
  (3) 1737, 30 Mar: Samuel Ogle and Benjamin Tasker, Sr. purchased from Rev. Jacob Henderson , as partners, for 500 pounds, the estates of "Belair," "Woodcock's Range" and a 100 acre sec tion of "Enfield Chase."
  (3) 1737, Aug: Paid 250 pounds to Benjamin Tasker Sr. to buy out his partnership in the pro perty purchased as partners 30 Mar 1737. He also bought some furniture from Rev. Jacob Hender son.
  (5) 1739: He met his 1st and only serious defeat as governor when he attempted to force th e passage of a bill for continuing the levy of a tobacco duty for the purchase of arms and am munition.
  (3) 1739, 6 Dec: George Whitefield, An Anglican Clergyman on his 1st preaching tour of th e American colonies, stopped at Annapolis and called on Governor Ogle and "was received wit h much civility." The next day he preached and was pleased that "the Governor put aside his c ourt to come to morning service." At noon he dined with Ogle.
  (3) 1740, 30 Jun: Following England's declaration of war against Spain (the War of Jenkins ' Ear) and upon receipt of instructions from King George, he drew up a proclamation asking fo r enlistments for an expedition against the Spanish garrisons in the Caribbean.

Gooch of VA, in charge of all the troops to be raised in America, s ent commissions for officers of 3 companies and requested that vessels be secured and rendezv ous "within the Capes of Virginia" before the middle of September. He gave the commissions t o Benjamin Tasker, Col. Robert King and Dr. Charles Carroll and asked them to provide transpo rt, "victuals and other Necessaries." The campaign was disastrous, and only a few returned.
  (1,3,5) 1742, 23 Aug: Was succeeded as Governor by his wife's uncle, Thomas Bladen, who ha d married Lord Baltimore's sister. (5) Disputes over money bills contributed to a deadlock wi th the Assembly, and to break it the lord proprietor appointed his own borther-in-law Thoma s Bladen to succeed Ogle.
  (3) 1742, 12 Oct: The lower house of the MD Assembly met to consider the serious charge tha t Ogle had challenged one of its members. The Sergeant at Arms was sent to take Ogle into cus tody to answer for the offense. The Sergeant returned and reported that "he went to Mr. Taske r's House and enquired of him for Mr. Ogle. The said Tasker desired him the Sergeant to sit d own, the said Tasker left the Room and sometime after came and acquainted him... that the sai d Mr. Ogle was not to be spoke with." At the same time Gov. Bladen requested attendance of bo th houses in the Council Room, where he requested "as a Favour considering the Station that G entleman did bear here and the circumstances of his Affairs at this time, being just going t o Embark for England, and I shall take it as a favour done to myself if at this time you'll l et the Affair drop as to Mr. Ogle." They granted his request "although the Offence of the sai d Samuel Ogle Esqr was an open Insult and an High Violation of the Rights and Privileges of t his House."
  (1) He and Anne returned to England and remained there for several years. During this tim e he wrote his father-in-law, giving him instructions about the building of a mansion on prop erty he had acquired a few months prior to his marriage. This house is the present day Belair . Genealogists have persistently erred in saying that Benjamin Tasker gave Belair, house an d land, to Samuel Ogle, in spite of positive evidence to the contrary in the records of the o ld Chancery Court in Annapolis. (3) He left his trusted friends Onorio Razolini and Benjami n Tasker Sr. with his power of attorney to resolve any pressing business matters, and Taske r with the task of supervising construction of a new house at Belair. Exclusive of the worker s and materials supplied from the estate, the cost was between 500 and 600 pounds, considere d low in its day for a building of its size. (NOTE: Belair, the mansion, is now the Town Hal l of Belair, the community, on its western edge. It is just south of Route 450 and a few mile s beyond the Beltway, according to the "Washington Post," 12 Mar 1977.)   (5) Through his wif e Anne he came into possession of "Belair," an estate of 3600 acres in Prince George's Co. 2 0 miles west of Annapolis. The estate was laid out with a deer park of perhaps 600 acres, a r ace track, kennnels, and a bowling green.
  (3) 1743, 22 Jan: Daniel Dulany, who accompanied the Ogles to England, wrote to his father , "We had a very long Passage and met with very bad weather, the ship has arrived att Londo n but ten days. Mr. Ogle was very seasick but Mrs. Ogle was scarce an hour sick."

  (3) 1743: John Gibson wrote to the Ross family in Annapolis, "I always believed Mr. Ogle' s pride would not let him live in Maryland less than Govr."
  (3) 1743: Toward the end of the year John Gibson wrote, "Last time I saw them I din'd ther e and being without company Mr. Ogle was very free and easy in his conversation, they live i n a genteel manner."

  (8) 1747, 12 Mar: Brought over his bride on the ship Neptune from Liverpool. (3,6) The "Mar yland Gazette" of Annapolis reported on Tues., 17 Mar 1747, "On Thursday last arrived withi n our Capes, his Majesty's Ship, the "Foulkstone," Captain Gregory, with Samuel Ogle, Esquire , and Lady on Board, who, some Time after, disembark'd and went on Board the "Neptune," Capt . Grindell, bound for this Place, where he arrived about Ten in the Evening, and was receive d at his Landing by a Number of Gentlemen, &c., and saluted by the Town Guns, and from on Boa rd sundry Ships in the River."

Naval Academy Alumni Association. (4) The house was completed in 1739 by the widow of Dr. W illiam Stevenson, who leased it in 1747 to Samuel Ogle, Colonial Governor of MD, who made i t his official residence and gave it its name.

  (3) 1747, Jul: Recommended a tobacco inspection law to the Legislature, which was passed. I t established tobacco inspections houses where all tobacco slated for export was graded, an d any classified as "trash" could be burned.

(5) Acting on his recommendations, the Assembly, at its first sess ion of his 3rd term, passed an acceptable bill for the purchase of arms and ammunition, an d a bill for the inspection of tobacco and limitation of officer's fees. The limitation of fe es removed a large source of discord between the executive and legislative branches. The insp ection of tobacco was the salvation of the tobacco industry and contributed to the successfu l floating of a paper currency. (8) The Act of the Assembly for the inspection of tobacco an d the limitation of officer's fees, passed shortly after his restoration to office, increase d the general good feeling toward him.
