James Logan was the son of David Logan and Nancy (Thurmond) Logan.
Col. James Logan married Rachel maiden name is unknown as there is no bond/license to support any DOM. This misinformation about 8 Aug 1813 comes from a book by Hempstead published in 1880s about the county of Logan. He guessed at 1813, but offered no month nor day. It has since been miscopied as 8th to Aug which is the 8th month of the year, and then promoted that it must be DOM Aug 8th - that is false. Their first son WAS born in 1814 so it is probable that they married 1813. Rachel's obit suggested two unknown children who died infants, so they could have married pre-1813. And- since the family land was in Wayne in 1818 on the St. Francis River, they would not have married in New Madrid but Cape Girardeau. Many mistakes in Hempstead's bio but Ken Oliver copied his work from a 1986 Logan County Historical book, which was corrected at the time by Logan family that the information was wrong., but was, sadly, published anyway.
Note: Logan County, Arkansas, was named in his honor.
Colonel James Logan, for whom the county of Logan County, Arkansas, was named came from Missouri to Arkansas in 1830-31. They are on the 1830 Wayne Co MO census but on land in late 1830.
He lead a wagon train, which is reported to have been 1 1/4 miles long, included his wife, children, his parents, other relatives, close friends and the Logan family slaves. Along with their belongings, they also brought their horses, cattle and other livestock.
They first settled in Pope County, Arkansas, near Montana, on the banks of the Arkansas River. By November of 1833, the James Logan family had moved south of the Arkansas River and established a permanent residence on a 1,000 acre tract of land located on Sugar Creek. Colonel James Logan established a mill there shortly after they arrived. The mill's stone was reportedly the same stone used by Colonel Benjamin Logan and Daniel Boone in Kentucky.
The above two paragraphs were written without any supporting documentation in the 1930s and has been copied repeatedly for almost a century. Most is mostly conjecture for a good story. BLM records and maps support actual land purchases and the Logan Boone story is because in 1930s the author was of the misinformed opinion that Col. Logan and Daniel Boone were related to Col. James Logan. DNA has and other facts prove this misconception is False.
