    3. I have no proof that Revolutionary War veteran Pliny Kellogg was buried in Lorain County, but I can site a reference that a person by that name allegedly was. A book titled "Official Roster, Soldiers of the American Revolution Buried in Ohio", published in 1929, under the auspices of the DAR, lists a Plinney Kellogg as being buried in Lorain County. The info contained in the book is: Plinney Kellogg (Lorain County) In 1777 served as Pvt under Washington, at battle of Monmouth, and under Gates and Arnold at battle of Saratoga, when Burgoyne surrendered. Br 1752, Westfield, Mass. D 1842, LaGrange, (there is also LaGrange in Lawrence Co) O. Mar 1782. Ref: Natl No. 56926, Vol 57, p 320, D.A.R. Lin. Perhaps the DAR Lineage book that is referenced may have more information. Also the 1879 History of Lorain County, lists Marcus and Noah Kellogg as being among the earliest settlers of Lagrange Township, arriving in 1827 --- but no mention of Pliny/Plinney. If you can document that Marcus and Noah were sons of Pliny, that would make his residence in the County more plausible. Interestingly, the 1929 book also mentions a town by the name of La Grange in Lawrence County --- Hmmm. Remember also, the 1980 cemetery book for Lorain County is based on transcription of the grave markers. Markers that had disappeared, or were missing, will not be in the book. Take the information for what it is worth --- Richard
