I have information that my Revolutionary War ancestor, Pliny Kellogg, died and was buried in La Grange Twp., Lorain Co., OH. This is from the Cemetery Inscriptions of Lorain County, Ohio 1980, pps. 33-34. I found several cemeteries in La Grange Twp. but don't know which cemetery would be the one where he is buried. Where would I be able to find further information (online, if possible) to help me locate the proper cemetery or further information on burial sites of Revolutionary War veterans in Lorain Co.? Thank you! Pat J.

Hi Pat, I personally was unable to determine or document that your Pliney Kellogg had died or was buried in Lorain County OH. Have checked my copies of the 1980 LC Cemetery Inscriptions book, the 1991 LORAIN COUNTY BURIAL LOCATIONS of VETERANS of VARIOUS WARS, the 1981 Index to Ohio Wills & Estates Before 1850. Also checked with a couple of gentlemen by phone whom I consider to have far more expertise in this RW area than I. In fact they tell me that there is not any veteran with the surname of KELLOGG buried in LC up thru WW1. Those pages 33-34 that you have referred to, are cemeteries in Amherst Twp. and there are no Kellogg's listed on those pages. Noah Kellogg, who is bured in the LaGrange Center Cem. on Rt. 303, has a very nice old marker that is taller than I am. Stood next to it back in 1970, when I moved to LaGrange area. In the 1830 census, Marquis, Noah & Plinny Kellogg are enumerated next to each other in Lagrange. In the 1840 there is a 60yr plus Pliny Kellogg in Cleveland. You could check someone at the Cuyahoga County sites as well as with the SAR organization; Have you checked the printed indexes to the many DAR volumes. I was able to find and read Pliny's RW military service records online at Ancestry.com Per the PIONEER WOMEN IN THE WESTERN RESERVE BEFORE 1850, there was at one time a Pliney Kellogg who lived in Geauga Co. & Cuyahoga Co. and briefly in Lorain Co. Can you please share with us the exact source that gives his burial place as Lorain County. There is a document at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohlorain/pictures/1827LorCo.htm that has Pliny Kellogg in LaGrange 1827. Wonder how many Pliny/Plinny/Pliney Kellogg's there were? Keep us posted as you chase down clues.
