Enjoying your web pages. Am a descendant of Lt Joseph Kellogg and Abigail Terry through Stephen Sr. My records are his sister's name who married David Bigelow is Mercy. Dates are all the same. My info came from several genealogies of the family and no sister of the name Mary is listed. However, I never checked this info against "Kelloggs in the Old World and New" Is this where you obtained her to be name Mary?
Later:
As I looked through your other pages I found that David's wife is listed as "Mary (Mercy)" on his father's page. On this page it reads that David and Mercy had no children, but on David's page it lists they had 4 children. Hate it when that happens. After a 500+ page book I did of my family and a 300+ page book for my wife's family - I found similar contradictions. Such fun.
