"He was a man of no ordinary intelligence, in height above the common size, and well preserved in body and mind. He was a great hunter and fisherman and claimed to be a skillful root doctor. I have known him to leave his father's house and be absent for a week at a time in the woods and mountains, hunting, fishing and searching for roots." (Recollections of Giles B. Kellogg in Perry's Origins of Williamstown: pp. 443, 446, 447 and 578.)
