He was born 14 October 1742, the only child of George Ogle (1704–1746).
He was brought up at Rossminoge, near Camolin, County Wexford, under the care of one Miller, vicar of the parish, and was imbued through life with strong Protestant feeling. Ogle received his early education at Kilkenny College.
