Samuel H. (Samuel Henry) Kellogg

Born in Long Island, New York, in 1839, Samuel Henry Kellogg became an American Presbyterian missionary, scholar, and writer. He studied at Princeton and Princeton Theological Seminary before going to India, where he served for many years and became especially known for his command of Hindi and Sanskrit.

Kellogg is most often remembered for his major role in revising and retranslating the Hindi Bible. He also wrote A Grammar of the Hindi Language, a substantial work that gave English-speaking readers a serious introduction to Hindi at a time when reliable language tools were still limited.

His career also included teaching theology and pastoral work in North America, but India remained central to his legacy. He died in Landour, India, in 1899 after returning there for further translation work, and his name is still closely tied to both Christian missions and early Hindi scholarship.
