Although bioguide says Jacksonian, and I have been unable to find some direct source saying Adams, it seems to be clear that Kellogg was an Adams man:
1 - He was elected on the Clintonian ticket which was the Adams party.
2 - He defeated the incumbent Bucktail Rowland Day who had voted for Crawford, and the Crawford party became the Jacksonian party
3 - He had a son named John Quincy Kellogg, born in 1823... Kraxler (talk) 16:57, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Good, but it's WP:OR. Wikipedia requires a secondary source. Meanwhile, if you find one, please cite it on the article page AND correct the party summary on 19th United States Congress.—Markles 18:29, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is not exactly OR, since by definition the Bucktails were Jacksonian and the Clintonians were Adams men. But I will dig into the sources anyway. Bioguide has too many mistakes to be considered "reliable", in my opinion. It is ok to a certain extent, but you can't take it for granted... Kraxler (talk) 17:36, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the Bioguide is not definitive or dispositive. You may also be right about your conclusion and about your three data points listed above. But unless you've got someone else making that conclusion, or at least maybe someone else coming up with the three data points, then it's your reasoning and therefore OR.—Markles 01:26, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
