We know the Rashi that Eliezer the servant of Avrohom had a daughter and he wished to wed his daughter to Yitzchok.

According to the Pirkei d’Rebbi Eliezer, (chapters 16&23) Og is none other than Avraham’s most trusted servant, Eliezer (Yalkut Shimoni Chaya Sarah 109, Machzor Vitri section 524. Daat Zikeinim of the Ba’alei haTosfot, Bereishit 24:39)!

The Yalkut Shimoni(ibid) also accepts the identification of Og as Eliezer, while maintaining a negative appraisal of Eliezer.

According to the Zohar, Og is one of the souls that Avraham brought close to HKB”H. (Zohar, Bamidbar 3:184a-b)

In any event: if Og was Eliezer, he had wed and bore children, at the very least it is certain that he had a daughter.
