He was the son of Sylvester Alonzo Kellogg (1838–1904, justice of the New York Supreme Court) and Susan Elizabeth (Averill) Kellogg. Henry Kellogg received his preliminary education at Vermont Episcopal Institute and Rock Point Military Academy, both in Burlington, Vermont.

Following graduation he moved to Plattsburgh, New York and joined his father's law office, the firm of Kellogg, Weed and Palmer. On March 5, 1903, he married Katharine Miller Weed.
On June 16, 1903, he was appointed by Governor Odell a justice of the New York Supreme Court (4th District) to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of his father, and was elected as a Republican to a full term in November of the same year.
