Biography

George Logsdon was born in Appalachia, in Kentucky.

George Logsdon was born in Hart County, Kentucky in about 1858. He was the son of George Webster "Webb" Logsdon and Luvica Tharp.[1][2]

Research Notes

Mistaken Identity:

This profile was initially attached to George Webster Logsdon as father, with Martha McCubbin as his mother and a birthdate of 1871, but with no viable sources provided (merely a broken link to an Ancestry Tree). George Logsdon, son of George Webster "Webb" Logsdon, was born in 1858 and was the son of Luvica Tharp Logsdon. George Edward Logsdon, born in Brown County, Illinois in 1869, but listed as 9 years old on the 1880 census (which would provide the 1871 birthdate),[3] was the son of George Richard Logsdon and Martha Rose. The birth information has therefore been amended to conform to the George Logsdon who was George Webster Logsdon's son, born in Hart County, Kentucky. Anderson-27719 01:15, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

'United States Census, 1870:

The census enumerator's notes for his canvas of Hart County in 1870 apparently missed including Napoleon Louis Logsdon's surname in his enumeration, so it would appear that the "---- N. B." (probably from an assumption that someone named "Napoleon" would be named "Napoleon Bonaparte") of Line 9, beginning Family No. 160, and then Nancy, his wife, and their oldest child, Mary, were named Sanders, which was the surname of a previous entry in the family of "Logsdon Jas O," (the family patriarch, James Oliver Logsdon) for 10-year-old "Sanders Saul W.,"[4] who was apparently living with James Oliver Logsdon and his current wife, Sarah. Likewise, the entire following family, that of "---- George W." (beginning on Line 12 for Family No, 161) was indexed as "Sanders," most probably for the same reason. This is actually the family of George Webster Logsdon, also a son of James Oliver Logsdon. Without more research it is impossible to say whether the two children whose entries follow Saul's, and who were also part of James Oliver Logsdon's household ("---- Susan," est. age 8, and "---- Nancy J," est. age 6), were actually surnamed Sanders or might have been Logsdons.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with George by comparing test results with other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with George:
