He conveyed to his children homes on Marvin's Ridge, Clapboard Hill and other parts of New Canaan, but some one has said that the "Kelloggs didn't own all of Clapboard Hill." He gave to "Loving son Samuel, one-half of his home "lot," reserving improvement during his natural life, 19 Apr., 1749.

After the death of his son Samuel, he conveyed the other half of his home lot to "Loving grandchildren, daughters of my son Samuel, deceased," which was described as "seven acres with dwelling house, bounded south by country road; all other sides by highway and common land," reserving improvement of same during his natural life, 27 Sept., 1755.
