Rachel sent me a note to look in the Kellogg gen study and reference a Lemuel Ludington. I spent several hours looking at that study and found it's history to be similar to the Ludington study, starting with our William of 1607 in the Boston MA area. It seems a Nathaniel Kellogg, living near Boston MA in the early 1600's, had a son Joseph , who in turn had a son called Edward, who had a son called Thomas. Thomas Kellogg was born 17 Dec 1696, birthplace in MA not mentioned. Thomas eventually moved down to mid eastern CT near Lebannon, where he married and had a son called Lemuel Kellogg, b Nov 4 1727. Lemuel Kellogg, born 1727, in turn got married, had some family and then died suddenly. His wife (no name mentioned) remarried a ?? Ludington (no first name) and they had a son called Lemuel Ludington born 1759 in or near Lebannon CT. The Babbitt family history parallels the Luddington family history in that they started off in New England in MA and after several years they moved down to CT.  The Luddingtons had settled in CT mostly in the New Haven area while the Kelloggs settled just a few miles North and East of New Haven so eventually they had to run into each other; hence the Ludington-Kellogg marriage and the birth of Lemuel Ludington in 1759. I think this Lemuel Ludington has to be my Lemuel Ludington in the 1790 census of Balston Spa NY and I am looking for HELP in connecting the two. Anyone have any clues ??  Look in your histories to seek a Lemuel.  Please !    Ron Ludington
