Biographical History
Lucy Fletcher Kellogg (1793-1891) was born in Sutton, Mass., the daughter of Ebenezer Fletcher and Mary Goldthwait. She was raised primarily in Worcester, Mass., where she attended the public schools. In 1817, she settled with her married sister and family in Chautauqua County, NY, where she taught school briefly before her marriage to Titus Kellogg (1797-1848) in 1819. After living several years in Jamestown, NY, the Kelloggs purchased in 1839 a cotton plantation in Bossier Parish, Louisiana. Following her husband's death in 1848, Lucy Fletcher Kellogg returned north to live with her children in Oberlin, Ohio and later, in Keokuk, Iowa. Her daughter, Mary (1819-1890) had married Rev. James Harris Fairchild (1817-1902), president of Oberlin College.
Lucy Fletcher Kellogg lived in Massachusetts, New York, Louisiana, and Oberlin. She was the mother of Mary Fletcher Kellogg (1819- 1890), one of the first four American women to enter a college course for a degree. In 1841, Mary married James Harris Fairchild (1817-1902), who became Oberlin College's third president in 1866.
