Nicholas Kellogg Descendants of Nicholas Kellogg Generation 1 1. NICHOLAS1 KELLOGG was born on Oct 18, 1458 in Debden, Essex, England. He died in England. He married Audley in 1486 in Debden, Essex, England. She was born in 1465 in Somerset, England. She died on Sep 01, 1524 in Great Barton, Suffolk, England. Notes for Nicholas Kellogg: Englishman Nicholas Kellogg is the earliest ancestor in the Kellogg family line that I have been privileged to research. He is my 12th great grandfather. The family who descended from him are filled with citizenry that would make most all of us proud to be Americans. As you will see, the Kellogg family contributed greatly to the worth, value and success of the American dream and its contribution to freedom and our ability freely to worship God. In the Bible (John 6:31), people following and questioning Jesus cited the fact that their forefathers, out in the wilderness, had been given manna to eat by God. That was about 1,350 years prior to their discussion with Jesus. That length of time is similar as between us today and some 100 years prior to when Nicholas Kellogg lived. It isnot often that we think of events that far removed from us today that we cite it in contemporary discourse! Nicholas Kellogg and Audley had the following child: 2. i. NICHOLAS2 KELLOGG (son of Nicholas Kellogg and Audley) was born in 1488 in Debden, Essex, England. He died on May 17, 1558 in Debden, Essex, England. He married Florence Hall (daughter of William Hall and "Florence of Debden" Florence) on Oct 04, 1515 in Debden, Essex, England. She was born in 1490 in Debden, Essex, England. She died on Nov 08, 1571 in Debden, Essex, England. Generation 2 2. NICHOLAS2 KELLOGG (Nicholas1) was born in 1488 in Debden, Essex, England. He died on May 17, 1558 in Debden, Essex, England. He married Florence Hall (daughter of William Hall and "Florence of Debden" Florence) on Oct 04, 1515 in Debden, Essex, England. She was born in 1490 in Debden, Essex, England. She died on Nov 08, 1571 in Debden, Essex, England. Notes for Nicholas Kellogg: Nicholas was a comtemporary of Martin Luther (1483 - 1546) who was the famous Roman Catholic priest who sparked the Protestant Reformation's beginnings when he nailed his 95 theses on the doors of the church atWittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517. The site of this event has been visited by Suzanne and me in 1990. Nicholas, of course, was across the sea over in England. Gutenberg had just invented the printing press in 1455, so books were a new phenomenon in the day of Nicholas and Martin Luther. England'sJohn Cabot made his discovery of New World lands in 1694. So much was new and ever-changing in the world of that day. "Where he came from, or if his ancestors had lived for many generations in Essex Co., is not known. He was in Debden, and was a witness to the will of William Hall, his father-in-law, on 4 October1515. In 1525 he and William Kellogg were taxed in the earliest Subsidy Returns for Debden now found. From that time until his death in 1558, his name appears at various times in the tax rolls. The names of all of his children are not known since he did not mention them in his will, and the earliest entries in the parish register are in the year of his death. The Manorial Court Rolls indicate that he had at least two sons, William and Thomas. From the frequency of the name in the registers of Debden, it would seem to have been the home of several Kellogg families, and the similarity of given names of Kellogg's in Page 1 of 199 Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at 3:13:00 PM Descendants of Nicholas Kellogg Generation 2 neighboring parishes a generation later indicates that they were all descended from the Debden family. "In the Court of Requests (a court of equity for poor persons), inLondon, a lawsuit was filed against Nicholas Kellogg, which is interesting from the picture it presents of the customs of the period, and it shows the first recorded Kellogg in a favorable light. In 1546, the 38th year of the reign of King Henry VIII, Thomas Colain,or Coleman, complained that Nicholas Kellogg, Robert Write, and William Gardiner, without either right, or color of title, with force and arms, entered the church house in Debden, which he had occupied for twenty years, and expelled him therefrom, and took certain goods and chattels to the value of 20 pounds, and would not allow him to occupy the said messuage, nor deliver to him the said goods and chattels 'to the utter impoverishment of said complainant forever, unless your Highness moved with pity, make some order herein.' He prayed process of Privy Seal against said Kellogg, Write and Gardiner, as 'your orator is a very poor man, and not of habeylyte to pursue any suit against them, commanding them to appear at your Grace's Why at Westminster, there to make answer to the premises.' "In their answer, the defendants said that the bill of complaint was?most untruly fayned and imagined by the compleynaunt by sinister aydeand amintenance of certain persons, whereof defendants prayed to have remedy and advantage. Furthermore, the messuage mentioned in the bill was the property of the church and the defendants, as church wardens, did demise and lease on 1 June 38th Henry VIII (1546) for seven years to farm the said messuage to the said Nicholas Kellogg, to hold from the feast of St. Michael the Archangel, then following. They denied that they took any of the plaintiff's goods and chattels and said that Nicholas Kellogg, at the time of his entry into the church house, found many possessions belonging to the complainant, at which time said Kellogg 'in presence of divers of his honest neighbors caused an inventory to be made,' so that the said complainant might take and have them without interruption of said defendants or either of them. "As a witness that they told the truth, Thomas Nutlake, parson of the parish church, in his deposition, quiantly said: ?'Forasmuche as it is a dede of charite to testifye the treuth inmatters of variances whereby all dowghts and Ambyguytes the reyther may be removyed and the right trowth more playnlye may apere and beknowen, I thomas Nutlake, parson of the parish churche of Depden . .rede a certain copy in wryting of the ordre or decre made in the King's honorable Curt of his Whitall the last Trinite term in his secundeyere of his most gracious reigne which was upon a Sundaye immediately after hye masse whereas I dyd calle Wyllyam Gardyner and NycholasKellogge to here the said wryting redde . and the said party sansweryd thay would delyver the sayd goods and the twysdaye next after they desired me to go with them and to meet said Coleman and to deliver said goods, and that day said Coleman did not come while I was there.' "Nicholas' own testimony completely demolished Coleman?s case: ?'Xvi die Novembris Anno 2 Edward VI [A.D. 1548], Nicholas Kelhoge of the age of iii/xx [three score] saith upon his oath that he was readyat the comying of Colman and would have delyvered the goods demanded but he could get no rowme to put theym not withstandyng that here quyred the parson ther to have had a row me to put the goodes but theparson sayd that he was a besy [mischief maker] he shulh have noohouse ther.' "The descent of property from William Hall to the son and greatgrandson of Nicholas Kellogg may be traced by the wills of William andAlice Kellogg and the rolls of the Manorial Court of Debden."

Notes for John Kellogg: John Kellogg was born in 1519, the same year as Holy Roman EmperorMaximilian I died. He was born two years after Martin Luther postedhis 95 theses in 1517 at Wittenberg which stir Germany and Europe in amatter of months. The year of John's birth was marked with the deathof famed artist, Leonardo Da Vinci, who died at age 87. John was born the year Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan set outfrom Sanl˙car de Barrameda Spain with about 270 men on a voyage tofind a western passage to the Spice Islands in Indonesia.

  • Bicentennial Celebration of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that. But with the celebration of the Constitution must also come the commemoration of those sharing responsibility for the realization of those noble principles in the lives of the American people, those commissioned throughout our nation’s history as United States Attorneys.
