    "69. Capt. Martin (Kellogg),5 son of Martin4 (26), b. in Deerfield [Hadley, according to the Corbin Collection], 26 Oct., 1686; m. in Wethersfield, Conn., 13 Jan., 1716, Dorothy Chester, … dau. of Stephen Chester, of Wethersfield, … and Jemima Treat, … He d. 13 Nov., 1753; …"

    They res. in Newington, where both d. He was first mentioned in Wethersfield, 10 Dec., 1716, when he was chosen packer, gauger and sealer of measures. … His will, dated 7 Oct., 1753, mentioned all his children. He bequeathed a silver-hilted sword to his son, Martin. His estate was appraised at £1,750, including one-quarter of the iron works and sawmill in Litchfield, and one-quarter of the iron works in Canaan 'on Honsatonic River at foot of the Great Falls, called Hartford Iron Works.'

    He was captured at the sack of Deerfield, and carried to Canada. In May, 1705, he and three others (Thomas Baker, John Nims and Joseph Petty), made their escape, and, after suffering incredible hardships, arrived, more dead than alive, in Deerfield. … In Aug., 1708, he was again captured while on a scout about 100 miles up the River. These enforced associations with the Indians made him familiar with their language and, like his brother, Joseph, and his sister, Joanna, his services were often useful to the colony in its intercourse with them. In 1714 he accompanied Stoddard and Williams, commissioners, to recover captives from Canada, and proved a very useful assistant. In 1718 the General Assembly of Connecticut voted him a grant of one hundred acres of land. In 1726 he was appointed one of the committee to arrange the terms of Mr. Williams' removal from the Newington Church to Yale College. After that event, he owned, lived and died in the mansion built by the church for Mr. Williams. He was the second captain of the Newington Training Band, having been appointed in 1735. In May, 1739, the General Assembly appointed Captain Martin one of a committee to visit the town of Harwinton and select a site for their meeting-house, and in 1740, the same authority ordered him to 'Repair to the town of Coventry to divide it into two distinct societies,' etc. In 1743 he was a deputy from Wethersfield. In 1746 the Assembly of Connecticut, learning that he 'was acquainted with a considerable part of the navigation of the St. Lawrence,' engaged him to serve as pilot on board His Majesty's fleet. But the war having ended, his services were not required. In 1751, he was sent as Colonial agent with clothing to Hendrick, Chief of the Mohawks
