Ruth was born on 19 Jul 1789 and died on 03 Mar 1892. Ruth was the daughter of Martin and Lucy (Dunham) Kellogg of Hampden, Massachusetts. Zephaniah Batchelor was born on 07 Apr 1789, a carpenter by trade and he served in the War of 1812. Zephaniah Batchelor married Ruth Kellogg on 20 Nov 1809 in Bethel, Vermont. Zephaniah died on 13 May 1843 most likely in Norwalk, Huron County, Ohio. Ruth (Kellogg) Batchelor came with her children to Berrien County, Michigan, where she died.

She was actually born on July 18, 1792: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/LWYB-XPM So, she inflated her age by almost three years. But she was still over 99.5 years old when she died, which is extraordinarily impressive for someone who died in the 19th century, especially considering that her elder brother Martin really did live to age 105 (almost 106), also dying in 1892, shortly after Ruth: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KDMM-S2V Another elder brother of hers, named Thomas, lived to age 94: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/9VR9-ZNN
