I labored for years under the belief that Ogletree was a variant of Ochiltree and changed thru illiteracy,and clerks writing what they thought they heard, etc.
I still to not really know what to think but finding the family in Ulster with the Ogletree spelling in 1780/1805 at least made me start looking at other ideas.Also found in Edinburgh variants AGILTREE, OGELTREE, OGILTREE and OGILTRIE.
Our Georgia proginitor (JOHN OGLETREE) has now been spotted in Brunswick Virginia in 1764 with this spelling.
Just not sure anymore.
