He was the son of New Jersey Governor Aaron Ogden.[3] Ogden graduated from Princeton College in 1819. He was admitted to the bar in 1824 and admitted as a counselor in 1829.[4] He practiced law in Paterson, New Jersey and in 1834 was appointed as Prosecutor of the Pleas for Essex County.[5] He was briefly a candidate for Governor of New Jersey in 1843, eventually withdrawing in favor of his first cousin, Daniel Haines.[6]
Ogden was a delegate from Passaic County to the New Jersey Constitutional Convention in 1844.[7]
Ogden was a director of the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad at the time of its incorporation in 1831, and was the railroad's president in 1852.[8]
