- Title
- Kellogg Farm legal papers ; Series I. J. & J. Amory and Amory, Taylor & Rogers records
- 1762-1773
- Contains papers used as evidence in a dispute over Kellogg Farm, in Colchester, Connecticut, the title for which was held by J. & J. Amory, dated 1762-1773. Aaron Kellogg, Jr., used the deed as security for a note to J. & J. Amory, and later pursued legal action when the firm would not cede the title back to him. Included is a note fragment that indicates J. & J. Amory were cleared of wrongdoing by a Federal court in 1791. Contains the will of Aaron Kellogg, Sr., which bequeaths to his wife, Mary, one-third of all of his houses and land, and a female slave named Phillis for Phillis' natural life; he also willed her a male slave, Peter, "so long as she remains my widow." To his three sons, he wills his lands in the township of Colchester, excepting their mother's stake, and his five daughters were bequeathed land in Sharon, Connecticut. There is also a will of Solomon Kellogg, which includes a gift of seven acres of land in Colchester to his sister Lucy Chamberlain, which their father Aaron Kellogg, Sr., bought from Samuel Westron. Also included is the promissory note from Aaron Kellogg, Jr., to J. & J. Amory in 1773, which likely was the note secured by the farm title; a deed for tracts of land in Colchester from Kellogg to J. & J. Amory; and a memo of the sale of the disputed farm to George Philips of Middletown, Connecticut.
