  • Notes 
    • "His first wife was Annice, daughter of Elder Nathaniel Kellogg... Above Barnes, on the Town line (with Oxford Township), lived Elder Nathaniel Kellogg, a Minute Man at the Battle of Lexington in 1775, who was later at the Battle of New York under General Israel Putnam, and at Saratoga at the surrender of Burgoyne on Oct. 17, 1777. One room of his house was in Oxford, the other room in Greene. He organized the Oxford-Greene Baptist Church and was its pastor for 30 years." (1)
      "In 1793 Nathaniel Kellogg, Daniel Tremain and Cornelius Hill settled in East Greene (Brisbin)." (2)
      "The first Baptist Church organized in the town and county was that established by Elder Nathaniel Kellogg at East Greene (Brisben) in 1795. In 1827 there were 65 members and services were held in the Upper and Lower Schoolhouses, the former in the town of Oxford and the latter in the town of Greene (near Daniel Tremain's). In 1830 it was called the Oxford-Greene Baptist Church. In 1840 a more centrally located church was built on the present site. (3)

      After the revolution he became a Baptist preacher of some note, mention of whom is made in the old Baptist Church in Amenia, now Millerton, N.Y. (in the Northeast corner of Dutchess County), as having been present at an ordination council, 17 Dec., 1788, at which his father-in-law and his brother-in-law, Elder Jeduthan Gray, were present.
      He was a revolutionary soldier and pensioner; served from 8 May, 1775, eight months in the army at Boston; had an order for a bounty coat. In his application for pension he stated that he was b. in Westfield Mass., 24 Feb., 1758; lived in Alford, when called into service; soon after the war he rem. to Greene, Chenango Co., N.Y. In April 1775, he went from Alford as a Minute man to Boston, where he served until the evacuation of the city, 17 Mar., 1776; he then marched to New York City; was with the army on the retreat from Long Island and New York City to Harlem, and to White Plains, where he was in the battle of that place, and later crossed into New Jersey. On the advance of Gen. Burgoyne and the call of Gen. Schuyler for aid, he joined the northern army; was stationed at Forts Edward, Miller and Ann, and was living in Jasper, Steuben Co., N.Y. (He may have come to know Henry Whiteman when he was in Dutchess County and later knew him in Jasper. He may also have met Silas Bartoo there and later moved with Jesse Luce Bartoo to Jasper.)

      Notes for non-relative - George H. Bartoo:
      "When a boy, he was bitten by a dog which was supposed to have been mad. He was taken to Elder Nathaniel Kellogg (of blessed memory) in Jasper, NY, who treated him with Dr. Crous's remedy for Hydrophobia. No symptom of it ever appeared."
