Hon. G. M. Saltzgaber, Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Sir:
I am in receipt of a letter from a lady residing in Vinton, Iowa, who desires the military record of her great grandfather, Pliny Kellogg. She states in her letter as follows:
"Pliny Kellogg was born November 12th, 1752, and died in 1842 in La Grange, Loraine County, Ohio. He moved from Sheffield, Mass. to Erie County, N. Y., then called Holland Purchase. He was a revolutionary soldier. He was present at the surrender of General Burgoyne, and was also in the Battle of Monmouth. There were two men of this name in Sheffield, Mass. One was called "Big Plin" and the other "Little Plin". My great grandfather was "Big Plin". In 1818 he was in Champion, Jefferson County, N. Y. These facts I have collected from volumes "Kellogg's in the Old World and the New."
I will be very glad if you will give me such facts as are available of the military record of this man.
Yours very truly,
JWG*AB
