The Winchell family of Egremont, Mass. stems originally from that of Robert Winchell of Windsor, Conn. The “Genealogy of the Winchell Family” by Alexander Winchell (early edition of 1869 and a new and revised edition of 1917), seems to give the earlier generations of this family correctly, but it fails to make the proper connection for David and Azariah and Joseph Winchell of Egremont.
This book represents the contents of two notebook manuscripts of material [also part of the Athenaeum collection] which was researched by Mr. Kellogg in 1945. In presenting his work, the author was as faithful as possible to the original in regard to layout, spacing, punctuation, etc., with departures only in the case of handwritten lines that were too long to fit within acceptable margins. Nothing was edited and no corrections were attempted.
The maps and signatures appearing in the Appendix are enhanced tracings from the original documents in the various Registries and in the Massachusetts State Archives. Enhancement was necessary in order to present sharp, legible reproductions.

About the Author
Joseph Mitchell11 Kellogg (Lyman Beecher10, Hiram9, Horace8, Loomis7, Stephen6, Stephen5, Stephen4, Joseph3, Martin2, Philippe1) was born in Emporia, Kansas, September 26, 1885, and was a graduate of Cornell University. Our sole biography of him indicates only that in 1937 he was unmarried, and a Professor of Architectural Design at the University of Kansas, and Head of its Department of Agriculture.
Many of his genealogical works are in the collection of the Local History Department of the Berkshire Athenaeum in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. His compilations of Sheffield [Mass.] Vital and Cemetery Records, Egremont [Mass.] Cemetery Records, as well as material concerning the Kellogg family have long been an integral part of the collection. Mr. Kellogg was the compiler of The Karner – Van Gilder Families, also of Egremont, published by Berkshire Family History Association (1992).
