Jakob Ogilvie was the son of George Ogilvie [SSNE 3207] and was born in Bremen on 13 August 1632. Jakob served as an ensign in the Kalmar regiment in September 1656. He was later a lieutenant in the Kronoberg regiment in 1658 and was promoted to captain in 1660. Ogilvie was reformed in 1661 and transferred to another regiment by 1664. He became a captain in the Kalmar regiment that same year after which he transferred to the Jönköping regiment. In 1666 Ogilvie became a captain in the Kalmar regiment. In 1667 he was reformed captain in Kronoberg regiment. He was advanced in the Kalmar regiment. By 1669 he became major of the Kronoberg regiment and in 1675 he transferred back to the Kalmar regiment where, in 1677, he became a lieutenant colonel and commandant at Wolgast. This may be the same Jakob Ogilvie who wrote to Erik Dahlberg in 1679 regarding the movement of troops to Christianstad. Apparently he was commandant there that year. Ogilvie died either in March 1680 or on 5 April 1681 in Stockholm. He had married Anna Hajock [SSNE 101] in 1674.
