The Ogles created a trade route between NewCastle, Delaware to St Louis through Tiffin Ohio and Chicago.

The trade route the Ogles created was essentially to survey, explore, and create settlements from NewCastle, Delaware as far out as they could go.

Joseph Ogle namesake of Ogle County Illinois traveled from NewCastle, Delaware to St Louis Missouri. Founding the town and first capital of Illinois Kaskaskia. Populating the town through a previous trade route with the French government. Since West of the colonies was New France on the East side of the River. Hundreds of towns and cities were founded by the Ogle family.

This trade route was not only the jumping off point of the Lewis and Clarke Expedition. The first couple hundred miles the job Lewis and Clarke was already complete. However the credit for said work was not included in the final reports. Both were done so that future settlers would know where to go in order to find areas to homestead. But the Expedition Lewis and Clarke set out on was radically uncredited done in large part by the Ogle Trade Route. Which could be one very good reason Meriwether Lewis committed suicide/murdered for the unhonorable and downright thievery done; giving themselves all the credit giving no credit at all to the previous 150 years the Ogle family American Trade Route was in full operation. They had to pass Ogle family settlements along the way; all of which was carefully edited out. Provide credit where credit is due.
