Biography

Seth Kellogg Smith, the son of Isaac Smith and Pamela Kellogg, was born about 1788. He had both arms blown off by the premature discharge of a blast at Plymouth Hollow, but lived several years after. He died February 19, 1842 at the age of 54. He married Huldah Parker, the daughter of Job Parker of Kensington. They had 14 children: Jennette, Seth Kellogg, Olive, Harriet, Mary M., Jairus P., Samuel, Orphia, Frederick, Julius, Franklin, Adaline, Franklin, and Walter.

The 1807 marriage date is an estimate based on the 1808 birth of their first child, Jennette.
