DANIEL KELLOGG {19} <1.2b.3a.4f.5e>, son of Martin {7} <1.2b.3a.4f>, bap. in Great Leighs, England, 6 Feb. 1630; m. Bridget Bouton, dau. of John Bouton, Sr., and Alice ---.

He d. 1688; she d. 1689.

It is not known when he came to New England, but it is probable that he came with his brother Joseph. He was one of the early settlers of Norwalk, which was incorporated 11 Sept. 1651, and his name appears in the list of "those to appeare in Towne Meetings" 20 March 1656. In the first book of Land Records in Norwalk, his home lot is described as four acres bounded east by Matthew Marvin, Jr.'s, Matthew Marvin Sen's, and Thomas Fitch, Sen's home lots, west by Joseph Fenn's home lot and a bank of common land, *north, partly by Nathaniel Richard's home lot and by the "Coase banck," south by town highway. The records of the first grants in Norwalk are interspersed with others from 1670 to 1690. Many of these deeds are without date. Over some of the records, in another hand is the date 1652.

It is said that he was the largest man of the pioneers, being more than seven feet in height, and "of proportionate dimensions otherwise."

"He was one of Norwalk's antiquity-athletic men. He was muscular and manly. On one occasion he was visiting in his neighborhood and found that two Indians, who were callers at the same time, had so far forgotten English proprieties as to have engaged in an angry and violent wrangle within the white man's abode. Mr. Kellogg stepped forward and in a very business like manner rubbed the heads of the red natives vigorously together and taught them a lesson."

He was selectman of Norwalk in 1670; Representative to the General Court, 1670, '72, '74, '75, '77, '79, '80 and '83.

He was on the committee, 23 April 1673, to carry on the work of building the meeting- house. On the 8 Nov. 1681, the town ordered the committee to remove the desk, seats and planks from the old meeting-house to the new, and the town for the future to meet "in the sayd new meeting house to weight upon the Lord in his divine publique worshippe as opportunitie presents."

At a meeting, 25 Dec. 1669, the town voted that all the lands within the bounds of Norwalk, that are at present undivided, shall for future be divided only to such as are the present proper inhabitants of this town, and at a meeting 9 Feb. 1671, it was voted that "every one of our inhabitants that have not as yet had any estate for their children shall have five pounds for every child now in being; to be added to their father's estate, and this is to take place in the land that is now to be laid out in ye Indian feild and not before."

In a list of children of the town Feb. 1672, Daniel Kellogg appears to have six. He drew his share of the common lands of the town, which made him a large landed proprietor.

In 1672, his estate in Norwalk was valued at £125.

In 1685 the General Court of Connecticut made an order that every township should take a patent from the Court, "for the holding of such tracts of land as have been formerly or shall hereafter be granted to them by this Court, etc. "In pursuance of this order Norwalk took out a patent, dated 8 July 1686. In this patent Mr. Daniel Kellogg is named as one of the "present proprietors of the Town of Norwalk".

The inventory of his estate, made Dec. 1688, was filed 5 March, following, by Bridget Kellogg, his relict. In this, it is stated that his children were Sarah, Mary and Rachel, who were married and away; Elizabeth, about 20 years of age, Daniel, 18 next May; Samuel, 15; Lydia, 13 next April; Benjamin and Joseph, twins, 11 years old. The eldest son, Daniel, to have a double portion "of the hole estate to be taken out of the housings and lands", the other sons to have twice as much as the daughters. The administrators are ordered to husband and take all prudent care of the estate and children; married children to be paid within one year; sons to be paid when 21; unmarried daughters when 18 or upon marriage.
