Biography

Colonel John Logan served with Lincoln County Militia, Virginia Militia during the American Revolution.

John Logan is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A071140.

Lieutenant Colonel John Logan was born May 10, 1747, in Orange county, Virginia. John served as an officer, during the American Revolutionary War, first as a Lieutenant, in Captain Benjamin Logan's company. He eventually attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Militia. John and his wife, Jane McClure moved to Frankfort, Kentucky, where he served as a Justice of the Peace and died in July, 1807. John is honored for his military and Civil Service by the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Application for membership in the Society has been made by the descendants of his son, David Logan, who married Mary Trigg. ^[1]

According to his Find A Grave memorial, Captain Benjamin Logan was his brother, and he is buried in the Fort Harrod Pioneer Cemetery, in Mercer county, Kentucky. His memorial also gives his place of death as Stanford, Lincoln County, Kentucky, which does not agree with DAR records. ^[2]

According to Wikipedia, John Logan was commissioned Colonel of Lincoln County in 1783.
