According to:
Hopkins, Timothy (1903). The Kelloggs in the Old World and the New. San Francisco: Sunset press and photo engraving co. pp. 121 & 246:
Ephraim Towner married Anna Kellog, 8 May 1798 in Connecticut. They had six children: Delia, Guy Carleton, Benjamin Franklin, Louisa, Olive S. and Norman K. After Anna died in 1816, Ephraim married Anna's sister, Susannah Kellogg. She died in 1832. They had no children.
According to:
White, Louis S. (1891). Portrait and Biographical Album of Washtenaw County, Michigan. Chicago: Biographical Publishing Company, pp. 624-625:
Gen. Ephraim Towner was born in Goshen, Litchfield County, Conn., and was but a young man when he moved to West Bloomfield, Ontario County, thence to Batavia, Genesee County, N. Y. where he followed the occupation of a tanner and manufacturer of leather; he also engaged in farming having an improved farm near Batavia. In 1835 he came to Michigan locating in Ypsilanti where he engaged in the grocery business. He died in 1851. Gen. Ephraim Towner entered a New York Regiment as Lieutenant in the War of 1812. Later on he was active in the State Militia and was General of a division, also Commander-in-Chief of the troops between Buffalo and Canandaigua. (His) ancestors originally came from England in 1689.
_______________________
NOTE: In the 1840 census, Ephraim is living in Washtenaw County with a son, an adult woman, and three minor children. In the 1850 census the adult woman is identified as his (probable) third wife, Nancy, and three girls, Caroline Spencer, Julia Spencer, and Jeanette Spencer. It can be assumed that "Nancy" is Nancy Hinsdale Spencer, whose first husband and father of the three girls was Norman Spencer. Eventually the youngest girl, Jeanette, would marry her step-brother, Norman K. Towner, and they would have five children together. Date of birth was published in the following: Towner, James William, (1910). "A Genealogy of the Towner Family, The Descendants of Richard Towner who came from Sussex County, Eng, to Guilford, Conn., before 1685." Los Angeles, Cal., Times-Mirror Prtg. and Binding House. His year of death is often cited as 1850, however, cemetery records establish his death date as Feb. 6, 1851, age 75 years.
