    "Pastorate of Rev. Bela Kellogg, 1813-1816
    The church and society extended a call to the Rev. Bela Kellogg, who, in a fine letter of acceptance dated December, 1812, signified his wish to be ordained and settled as their minister; which was done in January, 1813. His salary was four hundred dollars. The following years, 1814-15, witnessed many cases of discipline in the Brookfield Church, indeed the records show but little else. These offences were breaking of church covenant, intemperance, and other causes. It must indeed have been a period of unrest and sorrow. Many of the members thus disciplined were reclaimed and given standing again in the church; some were excommunicated altogether. Mr. Kellogg was dismissed by consociation October 23, 1816. Mr. Kellogg stated that his salary was inadequate for his support; it seemed to be the only reason on which he desired to sever his connections with the church. The consociation expressed sympathy with him and the church. Twenty-four persons united with the church during his pastorate."
