Daughter of Gabriel Ogden and Mary Shotwell
Benjamin Shackleton

After Benjamin's death Mary married John George Wintermute as his second wife in either 1811 or 1812. From The Shackleton book, page 98 "Tradition says that this Mary Shackleton was very proud; that when dressed for church she would wrap herself in a sheet to avoid contact with her husband while on the way, fearing he would disarrange her toilet. She would array George Wintermute in ruffles, a cocked hat and knee breeches, a costume he was unused to, and take him into distinguished society. This second marriage is said no to have been pleasant or congenial, and seperation occurred." This could expaline why Mary Ogden and George Wintermute had only one son, Arason Wintermute.
