Hi, I would appreciate any information on the parents of Jane Kellogg, supposedly born 22 Jun 1830, in Cattaraugus County, NY. Her parents were probably Laura & Silas Kellogg. Silas was born in NY around 1804 and later moved to Ogle County, Illinois. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Janelle Braithwait

Peaslee was a physician here in 1878, but how long before or how long after is not definitely known. It is certain he left prior to 1880 for Colorado for his health. While here he married Lena, daughter of John Damon." (If the brief bio online said William married "Lean", then it is a typo. The book actually says Lena.)
