Notes:

Name:
Ruth Warner, daughter of Andrew Warner, was probably one of the younger children and born in this country. The only definite information we have of her is in a Hadley court record of 1677 that well illustrates the times and puritanical conditions under which the family lived. An ordinance had been passed forbidding women to wear silk, unless their fathers or husbands were worth a certain stated amount, endeavoring to prevent by law what is best left to those most deeply interest. Ruth Warner defied this old blue law and openly appeared in public appareled in silk. She and two others, who had likewise offended, were, as expressed in the court record, "presented at court." They were charged with "wearing silk contrary to law,", and two of them for "wearing it in a flaunting manner to the offense of sober people." Ruth was admonished by the court and her father was ordered to pay the clerk's fees and witnesses. Andrew Warner was worth L356, a large amount for this period, and one cannot but admire the spirit of Ruth Warner who thus asserted her inherent and inalienable right to adorn herself in such manner as she saw fit.
The name of her husband has been variously reported as John or Daniel Pratt, ?Caley, or ?Kellogg. The Pratt is doubtless an error for her sister Hannah's marriage. The name of Caley does not appear among the early colonists. Of the early Kelloggs but one is recorded as having a wife Ruth. John Kellogg, son of Lieutenant Joseph Kellogg, bapt. in Farmington, Conn, Dec. 29, 1656, m. (1) in Hadley, Dec. 23, 1680, Sarah Moody, b. 1660, d. 1689, m. (2) Mary ?, who died after 1732. He died between 1723 and 1728. By this second marriage he had six children, born between 1693 and 1701, Ruth, Joanna, Esther, Abigail, John and James.
