If you are referring to the man who founded the colony of Georgia (back when America was under British colonial rule), James Edward Oglethorpe was born in London in 1696, and was one of ten children. His family seems to have been fairly wealthy and were members of England's upper class. We know that his father was named Theophilus and his mother was named Eleanor. Unfortunately, that is about all we know. Most sources do not discuss his childhood. But we may at least assume he was well taken care of, since his family was part of upper-class society, and they owned both an estate and a town house.
