MARTIN KELLOGG {7} <1.2b.3a.4f>, son of Phillippe {1} <1.2b.3a> bap. in Great Leighs, 23 Nov. 1595; m. in St. Michael's Bishop's Stortford, County Hertford, 22 Oct. 1621, Prudence Bird, dau. of John Bird, [1] of Bishop's Stortford.
She d. before 20 May 1671, as her name does not appear in his will.
He d. in Braintree, England, between 20 May 1671, when his will was made, and 20 Sept., same year, when it was proved. He is supposedly buried in St. Michael's Churchyard, Braintree, Essex, England.
He was a weaver or cloth worker and res. in Great Leighs and Braintree. Although in the record of his marriage in 1621, he was called "of Great Leighs", it may be that he did not reside in Great Leighs immediately after his marriage, as he had a son, John (the record of baptism has not been found), who had a son who was five years old in 1648, as appears in the Manorial Court Records. The last that is positively known of his being in Great Leighs was when his son Daniel, was bap. 6 Feb. 1630. On 22 May 1632, he and his wife received the surrender of a tenement in Braintree, as appears in the Court Rolls of the Manor of Braintree: "Whereas at the Court on Monday in Easter week 11 James I A. D. 1613, Joseph Mann surrendered one acre and a half of land, parcel of a croft called Harold's Croft, lying at Minche's Oak on which same land a messuage had been lately built. To the use of Mark Stebbing and Mary his wife for their lives, and then to Edward Stebbing [2] their son and his heirs. Now Mark, Mary and Edward are admitted.
"Afterwards the said Mark, Mary and Edward and Thomas Stebbing, another son, surrendered all their right in the aforesaid premises after the death of Mary Bead, formerly wife of Michael Mann, to the use of Robert Kellog and his heirs and the same Robert is admitted.
"Afterwards Robert Kellogg surrendered one tenement in the occupation of the said Thomas Stebbing and two small cottages to the same adjoining part of the property which the said Robert purchased of Edward and Thomas Stebbing, to the use and on behoof of Martin Kellogg and Prudence, his wife, and the heirs of the said Martin forever which same Martin and Prudence are admitted."
In 1637 he received the surrender of a parcel of land with a cottage called Masses as appears from the following extract from the same Court Rolls. Part of this cottage is still standing in what is "Martin's Yard."
"Whereas at the Court held 13 April 13 Charles I A. D. 1637, Richard Skinner [3] was admitted on the surrender of Richard Sparhawke, amongst other things, to one parcel of land containing by estimation nine perches upon which a cottage had been lately built with part of a pond called a Fuller's Pond etc. It is now found that on the 8th of April last (i.e. A. D. 1641) the said Skinner had surrendered the premises, by the name of one customary cottage called 'Masses,' otherwise 'Masse's tenement' (then in the tenure of John Gowell or Cowell) to the use and behoof of Martin Kellhogg of Braintree weaver and his heirs. The same Martin is admitted."
On 3 Apr. 1648, he surrendered a part of this tenement to his son, John, as appears from the extract of the Court Rolls, shown in the account under his name.
It is found that he appeared in the Archbishop's Court at Braintree in 1639 and '40, in company with the Vicar, and it is probable that he was one of the church wardens.
He was taxed in Braintree in 1666 for two hearths, [4] as is shown in the lay Subsidy returns for Braintree.
His will was proved at Braintree 20 Sep. 1671. [5]
