' 'It is said that he was the largest man of the pioneers, being more than seven feet is 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, '79, '80 and '83.'

' '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 The inventory of his estate, made Dec., 1688, was filed 5 March, following, by Bridget kellogg, his relict. In this, it 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 protion 'of the hole estate to be taken out of the housings and lands,' the other sons to have twice as much as the daughters.
