I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 45436, it appears that Noah Kellogg enlisted in Connecticut, in 1776, and served one year as a private in Captain Aaron Austin's Company, Colonel Burrall's Connecticut Regiment. 
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 16, 1818, in Oneida County, New York. 
The dates and places of his birth and death are not on record, and it is not stated whether he was married.  There is no data at all on file as to family.  
Respectfully,

Madam:  
In reply to your letter dated the 22" and received the 24" ultimo, services of Noah Kellogg (Sur. File No. 45,436) you are advised that in his application for pension executed November 16, 1818, he simply alleged that he enlisted in Connecticut in 1776 and served one year in Captain Aaron Austin's company, Colonel Burrall’s Conn  regiment on the Continental Establishment and he thus complied with the Act of March 18, 1818 which required a “service of nine months or more on the Continental Establishment." 
For the date of soldier's death and name of the person to whom the arrears of his pension were paid, apply to the Auditor for the Interior Department, U.S. Treasury Department, citing the following data "Noah Kellogg, Certificate No. 15,148, issued September 20, 1819, under the Act of March 18, 1818 at the New York Agency.

Dear sir: - 
In answer to an inquiry of mine you informed me on July 15, 1905 that the claim for pensions of Noah Kellogg, who enlisted in a Connecticut company in 1776 and served in the Revolutionary war, was allowed. My great-grandfather, Noah Kellogg, served in the Revolution, and a great deal of the data concerning him possessed by our family is similar to that given me by your bureau concerning the Noah Kellogg whose pension claim was allowed. However, my grandfather says that there was a provision that after a certain date pensions would be granted to a certain class of soldiers. I presume this provision was by Act of Congress. My ancestor Noah Kellogg died March 3, 1822, and my grandfather says that he died just a few hours before this provision whatever it was, took effect. 
I would like to prove the identity of these two men, but I don't know how I can do it unless I can show that the family tradition is a mistake. Can you tell me anything about such an act of Congress? Anything that would show me whether I am correct in the supposition that the two men were identical would be appreciated. 
Also, your record says that Noah Kellogg served one year. Our family has it that our ancestor served throughout the war after he enlisted in 1776. Is it not a fact that the records were so poorly kept at that time that it might be true that a man served longer than a year and it would not appear on the records? 
I will very much appreciate any information you can give me touching these points. 
Very truly yours, 
(Miss) Sarah E Cory

The Honorable Commissioner of Pensions, 
Washington, D. C. 
Dear Sir:-  
I would like to get some information in regard to Noah Kellogg, whose claim for pension was at one time allowed by your department. He was born in New Hartford, Conn. on May 8, 1756; and he died March 3, 1822. According to my information, he enlisted in 1776 in the company of his father, Capt. Noah Kellogg, and served throughout the entire war.  He had applied for a pension, and if he had lived one hour longer his family would have received pay for his long term of service. 
This is taken from family history, and it may not be entirely correct, but I think it is in the main.
What I particularly want to know is the official title of the

company in which he enlisted, and if it was correct that Cap. Noah Kellogg was its captain.
If there are any charges connected with giving me this information kindly send me a statement of the same and I will remit to cover.   
I do not care for certified copies of records, or anything of the kind. Just tell me what facts are contained in your record of his service, and to what record and page I could refer for proof. 
Very respectfully, 
(Miss) Sarah Cory

Sir:
I would like to know if application was ever made by Noah Kellogg of Hartford (or New Hartford,) Conn., who was born in 1729, and who is said to have been a captain in the Revolutionary War. If such application was ever made, will you give me data as to the disposition of the application, and the vital statistics shown by the application?  This is not the Noah Kellogg whose certificate was No. 15,143, concerning whom I have already information. 
I would also like to know of the date of passage and of taking effect of the first pension law; and did it contain any stipulation as to compensation of widows of Revolutionary soldiers. 
I shall appreciate the courtesy of your reply. 
Very truly yours,

Dear Sir: 
I will greatly appreciate it if you will be good enough to furnish me with an abstract of the application of Noah Kellogg of New Hartford, Connecticut, or Frankfort, Oneida County, New York, for a pension. 
This soldier served, I believe, in the Connecticut line entering the service from New Hartford, Connecticut but probably removing to Frankfort, Oneida County, New York, before making application for pension.
