    3. The story just does not die out we are suppose to be related to Indians. This is the closest I have found to Indain. Can any one please give me an idea who this LOGAN family might of been? 1728 Shicellamy/Swataney (Our Enlightner) a man of strong character and statesman like vision. The Iroquois confederacy appointed him as "King" of the Lenape in 1752 to replace Shingas. He was part Lenape and was go between for the Lenape and the Pennsylvania Government. He died at Shamokin in 1748. He had 4 sons. John Shickellamy and Tahgahjute who later became John and James Logan. Head Chief. . JAMES1 CHERRY He married MARGARET LOGAN June 05, 1760 in PA. . Floyd History book. . The name of James Cherry appears as a taxable in Shamokin township in 1788; he was probably the first settler, and cleared land at Luke Fidler, Springfield, (East end of a Shamokin on a Hill)Another member of this family had a distillery on the hill east of Shamokin. Thank you Jeanie
