Biography

• There is a conflict in one child of Stephen Kellogg and Mary Cook. Kelloggs in the New World, page 69, shows a daughter, Mary, born 3 July 1736 and married Thomas Shepard of West Hartford. Genealogies of Hadley Families,page 83,shows a son Stephen born 2 July 1736 and dying December 1738.

From The Nash Family Record:

Moses Nash, second son of Lieutenant John Nash of Hadley, Mass., born 2 July 1696, followed also his father's vocation. ... ... ...

He m. (2) 30 Oct. 1744, Mrs. Mary Kellogg of Hadley. Her maiden name was Cook, b. in 1700. She was the (2) wife of Stephen Kellogg of Hadley, who d. in 1738. By him she had two children. One d. young, the other, Abigail, m. Ashbel Wells of West Hartford, and was distinguished for piety and intelligence. It is understood that her life was published as a Sunday School Book.

Mr. Moses Nash and his wife were admitted to full communion in the (C) Church in West Hartford, 2 June 1745.

In 1753 he sold out in West Hartford and removed to Wintonbury, a Parish formed on the corner of the three Towns, Windsor, Farmington and Simsbury, since incorporated as the town of Bloomfield, Ct. he resided winin the bounds of Windsor. The following entry in the old record of the (C) Church at Wintonbury, under the head of members received by removal, renders it probable that it was towards the end of 1753, perhaps not until 1754, that he changed his residence. "May 5th, 1754, Mr. Moses Nash and wife from West Hartford."

Mr. Moses Nash d. at Wintonbury, 26 Jan. 1760.

Mrs. Mary Nash d. in West Hartford, 21 Sept. 1775, of Camp distemper. She probably lived with her dau. Mrs. Wells after her husband's death, as Ashbel Wells was appointed administrator on her affairs 21 Sept. 1776.
