EZEKIEL KELLOGG {710} <1.2b.3a.4f.5f.6b.7f.8e>, son of Abner {228} <1.2b.3a.4f.5f.6b.7f>, b. in Colchester, 17 Sept. 1748; bap. 25 same month; m. (1) in Colchester, 30 May 1771, Elishaba Wells, b. 5 Sept. 1751, dau. of Elisha Wells, who d. 31 Aug. 1751.

He d. in Otsego, 7 July 1823; she d. 13 Aug. 1838.

He was a farmer; rem. from Colchester to Great Barrington, Mass., in 1771 or 1772, and built a house there in 1772, the cellar of which was visible a few years since. He rem. in Mar. 1786 or '87, to Cooperstown, N. Y., with several other Great Barrington families, where they settled on "The Great Barrington Purchase," his farm being lot four. He built a log cabin, which was, in time, replaced by a frame house, the lumber of which was sawed in the old one. His descendants lived on the old homestead until 1896, when the grandsons who owned it died and the place was sold, having been for one hundred and ten years in the family. In Aug. 1886, a Centennial celebration of the settlement was held on this farm at which there were represented four generations of Ezekiel's descendants.

His grandson had in his possession an old account book of Ezekiel's that is interesting as showing the different kinds of employment the Kelloggs seemed capable of turning their hands to. It runs from 1 Jan. 1772 to 1787 (probably the entire period of his being in Great Barrington), and contains the names of Joseph, David and John Kellogg, besides that of his brother Ezra. Among the charges against David Kellogg are: "For Ezra and the mare to go to your house 2 s.," and he is credited with 360 feet cheary boards, £1, 10 s., 8 d. There are also items for tanning leather, mending, as well as making, shoes, and for spinning.

Ezra's account was from 1775 to 1777, and was chiefly for board and work as an offset respectively. At the end pf the two years the account was settled and Ezra had due him 5 s., 7 d.

He was a soldier in the revolutionary army and served: As a private in Capt. Spoor's (Spurr) Co., Col. Simond's Reg., 26 Apr. to 20 May 1777, at Saratoga; private in Capt. Noble's Co., Col. Brown's Reg., 29 June to 21 July 1777; ordered into service by Committee of Safety at desire of Gen. Schuyler. In Capt. Fitch's Co., Col. Ashley's Reg., 21 July to 14 Aug. 1777; private, in Capt. Goodrich's Co., Col. Ashley's Reg., 15 to 21 Aug. 1778, Berkshire Co. Reg.; served in action at Bennington under Gen.
