  Note	From the History of Connecticut: Daniel Kellogg was christened on 6 February 1629/30 in Great Leighs, Essex, England. Daniel was an original settler of Norwalk in 1651. He was Selectman in 1670; and Deputy for Norwalk 8 times 1670-1683. Daniel Kellogg was a huge man, being more than 7 feet tall, and "of proportionate dimensions otherwise." It is not known when he came to New England, but it is probably that he came with his brothers, Joseph and Samuel. He was on the list of "those to appeare in Towne meetings" 20 March 1656. At a meeting 25 December 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." On 9 February 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 field and not before." Daniel Kellogg had six children in the town list drawn February 1672. The drew his share of the common lands of the town, which made him a large landed proprietor. Jacobus in Families of Old Fairfield, Torrey in New England Marriages Prior to 1700, and Hasheider in Kellogg Family all agree that Daniel Kellogg and Bridget Bouton married in 1655. Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary, however, says they married in 1665, and assigned the three children born before that date to a previous wife whose name was unknown. Torrey reflects this in saying of the marriage to Bridget "2/wf?" The birth dates of the two eldest children are estimated from a mention by Winthrop in 1661 of "Daniel Kelluck and his wife of Norwalk, and their children John, aged 3, and Sarah, 1-1/2." If Daniel and Bridget did, in fact, marry in 1655 as Jacobus and Torrey say, then Bridget would be the mother of all the Kellogg children, and no previous wife need be hypothesized.58,61,62 Daniel appeared on the census of 4 October 1669 in Norwalk, Fairfield County, CT: "A true and perfect List of all the Freemen appertaininge unto the plantation of Norwake. Taken this 11th of October, 1669, and to be presented unto the Honored Court assembled ... Daniell Kellogge."65 He died in 1688 in Norwalk, Fairfield County, CT. The inventory of the estate of Daniel Kellogg is dated 5 December 1688. It mentions children: Sarah, Mary, Rachel, "married away"; Elizabeth, above 20; Daniel, 18 next May; Samuel 15; Lydia, 13 next April; Benjamin and Joseph, twins, 11. Widow Bridget made oath 5 March 1688/1689.
