Additional Comments:
I could not make out the last names of all of the daughters, nor the first name of
the Kellogg witness. With the exception of one or two other words that I was not
entirely certain about, I believe the transcription is accurate. Again, this was
transcribed from the SAMPUBCO photocopy of Jacob Kellogg Will as recorded (with
statements of witnesses) in Vol 6, p. 191 et seq, Oneida County wills.
