- “...She died twenty-four years ago. Subsequent to Mr. Pierce’s death, the house was occupied by Gamaliel Sampson, who, from Cattaraugus county, had married Harriet, oldest daughter of Benjamin Kellogg, and his own first cousin. Of their six children, Sally married Darius Lovejoy and resides in Rose; Betsey married Harlow Peck, and is a resident of Butler, north of Spencer’s corners; Warren married Rhoda Myers and went to Illinois. Alsifine is the wife of William Calkins of Savannah. A. Putnam married Lucy, daughter of Charles Sherman of Rose, and lives in Galen, while the youngest son, Ethan B., married Edna Burch and lives at Whisky Hill. (Sodus, 1893.) Mr. Sampson, who died in 1870, was a soldier of the War of 1812, and his widow, past four score years, draws a pension from the government. Her home is with her son, Ethan B. (She died Apr. 25, 1891. Had she lived till the 30th, her age would have been 87 years.) The old log house was torn away by Wm. B. Kellogg. The farm itself was purchased from Fellows & McNab by Benjamin Kellogg, who came to these parts from Salem, Mass. His first log house was just east of the present Colvin house, and here he lived until his death, in 1829. Ethan B., his son, succeeded to the ownership of the farm and built the present frame structure. Benjamin K., whose wife was Pamelia Trask, had eight children-four sons and as many daughters. His oldest son, William, born in 1800, married Rebecca Brewster, is yet living in Cattaraugus County, N.Y. Ethan B. married Matilda Allen and resided for many years east of Clyde, and there died, in 1881. (Mrs. Kellogg died Apr. 16, 1889, aged 75 years.) They are buried in the Collins neighborhood, as is also their son, Lewis, who had married Emma Livermore, niece of Mrs. John B. Roe. Their daughter, Rebecca, became Mrs. Ketchum, and Maria, Mrs. Peckham. Their son, Henry, married a Pomeroy of South Butler, and lives on the Clyde farm. Charles B. has already been mentioned, as have also Mrs. Sampson and Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Experience Brewster, afterward Mrs. Ogram, was named in the Rose letters. This leaves only Betsey and John. At the former’s marriage to Willard Peck, there followed one of those long-to-be-remembered horning scrapes for which this vicinity was, in years agone, famous. In the midst of the uproar one of the participants, Richard Garratt, now of Rose, was wounded by the bursting of a gun. He had to be carried home and the fun came to a premature end. Mr. Peck moved to Clyde, and on a visit to Michigan several years ago was killed by the falling of a tree. John Kellogg married Betsey Westcott of a prominent Butler family. Following Ethan B. Kellogg on the old homestead came Willard Peck and then Wm. B. Kellogg, John’s oldest son, who here began his married life. He sold to Oliver Colvin, the present owner." - Rose Neighborhood Sketches, Wayne Co., New York, Alfred S. Roe, 1893
