Norwalk

life had been it changing one. She had lived in Stamford, then in Wilton and is now accompanying an aged third husband to Norwalk, This last husband was born just after sunset, on Saturday evening, Feb. io, 1073. in the pleasant field-lot ( now upper end of Osborn Ave.. East Norwalk). Daniel Kellogg,)st. father of Samuel, who married the widow Hickox. war, die of NorwalkV antiquity-athlete men. He was muscular and manly. On one occasion he was v isiting in his neighborhood and found that two Indians, who were callers at the same time at the same Norwalk home, had so far forgotten English proprieties as to have engaged in an angry and violent wrangle within the white man's abode, M r. Kellogg stepped forward and in a very husi- ne»-like manner rubbed the head-, of the red natives vigorously together and taught them a k».ui. Hi- soil, Samuel, who had passed almost twelve " se\ en year*'1 periods1' of human life when he married hi- last (Hickox) wife, bought the land west of "Whitney's mill," back almost to "Pona-sus Path" { Wall Street, iSy6, north side, and west of the bridge). There were no child- ren bv the Hickox marriage, but quite an offspring by a former union. Thi- offspring embraced the long line of Kpeiietj- Kel- in Troy. Her son, LeGrand, like his uncle, Col. Le- Grand B. Cannon, was a Norwalk school youth. The young LeGrand B. Cannon, as was the case with the young Bell (see page 95), attended Doctor Sherwood's Norwalk school, and was a lad of gallant spirit. The Dr.'s boys made fast friends in Norwalk, and so 111 v of them — Bell and Cannon — left souvenirs of their pupil-days which, during the intervening years, have not been lost. 'There were three children of Nathan and Mary Bouton who died in infancy, viz., Mary Esther, Mary Bouton and Charlotte Buel. The grandchildren are the sons and daughters of George Henry Warren. Ingg's descendants. Said Epeuetus Kellogg was a " White Oak Shade " land proprietor, near by whose domain ran, easterly and westerly, the old Indian Ponassus path. Mr. Kellogg was a progenitor of the late venerable Eseck Kellogg, whose fine farm (now of Bradley ownership) lay near the West Norwalk of to-day. These handsome Kellogg acres have been tilled from an early period of Norwalk history, and the old house (Bradley 1896) has been an hospitable haunt. Here were reared the several members of the Eseck Kellogg hearthstone, from the comfort -cheer of which the children scattered to different points. |o-iah, sun of Eseck, now occupies the north-adjoining home and home-lands, and with his Saratoga County, New York, wife, maintains the old time reputation of the inviting spot. The pioneer Daniel Kellogg1s children are many and may be found in diverse parts of our spreading land, (see Kel- logg home-lot lineage.) One of Daniel Kellogg's direct descendant-, of to-day is Miss Ksther Fenn Kellogg, of New York City, a daughter of Edward R. and Rebecca J. F. Kellogg, and who is much inter- ested in her Norwalk Kellogg lineage. NOKW A LK faget, are decmcdL Nathan B.. iMus.

Warren, of the foregoing ten children, and his brothers Stephen K. and Natlrm B., were great-grandsons of Esaias' and Phoebe3 (Byxbee) Bouton, of Norwalk. STEPHEN WARREN. Stephen, born March 1783. the youngest son of Eliakim2d and Phoebe Warren, was a lad of only fifteen summers when the "Three Brothers" weighed anchor, in 1798, and quitted the Indian Runckingheage, Conn., waters. As their vessel's sail filled, the family most likely indulged in sent-back glances over their native Norwalk hills, scattered here nice Hartford's bridal, Jonas Philips Phcenix, of New Jersey, and was, personally and bv inheritance, of such manner and character-gentleness and loveable- ness that she did and could not fail to command the admiration even of those who were entire strangers to her. Of the children of Jonas and Mary Pluenix, Mary Caroline married a descendant of a Norwalk family almost as old as that of her own, George Henry Warren, yuungest son of Nathan and Mary ( limit on) Warren, of Troy, N. Y., and a grandson of Eliakiam and Phcebe Warren, of Norwalk and Troy. Geo. II. and Mary C. Warren resided in the metrop- olis but chose Mount Ida in the city of Troy for their country scat. A sister of Mrs. Geo. II. Warren, Har- riet Whitney Phcenix, married Isaac Bronson, of the Greenfield Hill Uroiison family. Mrs. Bronson was seized with illness while traveling, in 1864, in Ger- many, and fully aware that her malady would termin- ate ra t«11v, she, with tenderly true devotion, employed her last moments in dictating consoling messages to her soon to be bereaved mother. A brother of Mrs. Warren and Mrs. IJronson, Stephen Whitney Phoe- nix, had, before death, erected his monument by the publication of the colossal work, entitled " The Whit- ney Genealogy." The Bronsons of Greenfield Hill were also in Norwalk acquaintance- touch tli rough the Murray s, John B. Murray, son of Col. James B., of St. Mark's Place, N. V., in the winter and of Fairfield in the summer, married Sarah, daughter of Moses Craft, of Trov, and grand-daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Bel- den) Cannon, of Norwalk. Mr. Murray (John B.) was the brother of Maria (Mrs. Cambridge Livings- ton) and Anna (Mrs. Wm. Dana) and Agnes, who to this day keeps up the Greenfield Hill establishment. His wife was the sister of Mrs. Hannibal Green and Mrs. G. Parish Ogden, of Trov, and his mother-in- law, Mrs. Muses Craft, was the charming daughter of Samuel Cannon, of Mill Hill summit, Norwalk, who is referred to in the Christmas eve foot note, page 17c Josiah Whitney, the Norwalk great-grandfather of Mrs. Jonas P. Phoenix, was the brother of the great-grandfather, on his mother's side, of Rev. Sam- uel Jarvis, the father of Mrs. Elizabeth H. Colt, of Hartford. The four sisters of Rev. Mr. Jarvis, the Misses I.avinia, Amelia, Sarah and Mary, made en- joyable visits to their Whitney relatives in Darien, the descendants of which relations occupy, to-day, the old home-land vicinities. The drive between the Middlesex Warren and Whitney homes is of interesi. 'The grandchildren of Geo. 11., Sr., and Man C Warren are John P. C. and Geo. H. W., s«ms of Rob- ert P. and Mary Ida Alden; Robert W. G. and Bea- trice, children of Robert and Harriet L. Goelet ; Con- stance W., son of Geo. II,, Jr., and Georgie W. War- ren; Charlotte A., daughter of Whitney and Char- lotte A. Warren; Edith, daughter of William S. and Edith C. Miller. ^Esaias Bouton's older brother, Joseph, born 1726, married Aug. 25, 1748, Susannah, third daughter of Joshua and Elizabeth (Fitch) Raymond. The groom was twenty-two and the bride, a niece of Gov. Thos. Fitch, only sixteen when the marriage was solemniz- ed. Joseph Bouton was in military service, but his son, Joshua (Capt. Joshua), was, like his uncle, Esaias Bouton, in merchant service. Capt. Joshua was born Oct. 18, 1759, and on Nov. 17, 1784, he married Mar- garet McLean. The Capt. and his wife lived on the present site of the Dr. McLean homestead at the head of High Street, and during his trip-intervals he could there, generally, be found. What, he would sometimes jocosely remark upon entering his home at evening and finding it glowingly lighted, "so many candles burning and nary ship at sea." The children of this household were Sallv S. (remember- ed, in 1896, as the "Sally Bouton" of fifty years ago), born Aug. 25, 1785; Cornelia, born March 15. 1787; George, born Oct. 23, J789; Alexander, born June 29, 1791; Harriet (Mrs. Langdon Mott), born Feb. 6, 1793, and Charles, born May 25, 1795. Henry, son of Dr. Emery C. Bissell, married Harriet, daugh- ter of Langdon and Harriet Mott, and removed from Norwalk to become cashier of the Farmer's Bank of Somers, Westchester Co., N. Y.
