However, a Solomon Wilhoite did marry Catrina McGee on 6/13/1808 in Greene Co. and he attended wedding of John Wilhoit to Polly Vansandt on 6/26/1805, and James Wilhoite to Susanna Hixson 9/4/1809.

Surnames: Logan, McPheron Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ihB.2ACI/4204.1.1 Message Board Post: Doug, Appreciate your reply. There are several problems with what you say. #1 I have a copy of the will summary for David Logan who owned the fruching mill in Greene Co. I found it on another post. See below. It does not mention my David Logan who lived apart from the family. He moved first to Ohio, then to Illinois, and finally went to Indiana. Another problem is that another researcher, Nan Curran, said that David Logan Sr.'s son David was born much later than mine. It's theorectically possible that my David is his son based on birth date and David Sr's marriage date. The problem is with the second David in Nan Curran's record who is born many years later. Is it possible to have two sons named David? Possible maybe, but probable, no. I need some kind of unequivocal proof that my David Logan is the son of the David Logan who died in 1849. You mentioned you found a David Logan in the 1880 census, but I don't see how that's possible. It's probably his son. If I were you, I would go back and check the age range. It's funny your grandmother held onto things about Gen John A Logan also. It may be a time before we both understand what the connection is. Doug David Logan Will "I have just received a copy of the will of David Logan. The will was filed 2 July 1849 in Greene Co., TN. His wife was Prissilla. His daughters were Prissilla, Jane Standley (wife of William Standley), Suzannah Dodd (deceased at the time this will was written) Margaret McBride (deceased at the time the will was written). His sons were Andrew and James. James was deceased at the time the will was written. This will metions Suzannah Dood's heirs, John Dodd and Martha Jane Dodd. It refers to the heirs of Margaret McBride and James Logan, but does not mention them by name. The will was signed 25 Sept 1846 and witnessed by William Orr and John Balis. The will was read in the presence of the testators on 28 Oct 1847. It was attested by Gyl Olinger and Joseph Rogers. David Logan owned the plantation, 'Fruching', which was located on both sides of Main Lick Creek in Greene Co., TN. This will is available from the TN State Archives wb-2-70. The charge is $5.00."

I descend from David Logan Sr.'s daughter named Priscilla Logan who married John Smith. Strangely enough, my family also has that John A. Logan tradition. In fact, my grandmother kept in her possession an original copy of the speeches that were made on the floor of Congress in honor of John A. Logan when he died which was printed in the late 1800's. I have never been able to make a link to him. Nothing even close. The problem is, David Logan, Sr. is a mystery. On the 1880 census, one of his daughter says father born in Kentucky. Another daughter gives father's place of birth as "Ind." or "Ird." this could be either Indiana or Ireland. What did your David Logan Jr. give as father's place of birth in 1880? Please let me hear from you. Where did David Logan, Jr. live? I know that he left Greene County. Doug Jenkins

Annie Ford and had Mary Catherine Brown who m. Joseph F. Payne) is not part of the Jotham Brown line. I tried to email you once or twice in the past to see if you had any information but got no answer. Now you are responding to my message to someone else and I will answer your listed problems as best I can: Re No. 1. Jotham Brown who m. Margaret (Peggy) Maloney (and have side-by-side toombstones, and children you have listed), also married Phoebe Johnston, according to what I have. He married Phoebe on 10/8/1807 and their children were: 1. David E. b. ? d. 5/1/1843 m. 8/6/1795 1) Elizabeth Ann (Peggy) Craig, and m. 7/24/1799 2) Elizabeth Johnston whom you say is Mary (Polly). 2. John A. m. Elizabeth J. Nichols 3. William m. Martha Blair on 8/27/1811 4. Jane m. 10/20/1786 Christopher Cooper the lst 5. Phoebe m. John Willes 6. Mary m. William Stapleton 12/8/1803 7. Sylvanus Jotham m. Ruth Johnston 9/8/1794 8. Elizabeth m. John Willoughby 12/27/1899 9. Sylvaneous m. John Willes (who also m. Phoebe) 10.Lydia m. Aaron Crumley the lst 8/23/1814 and you say there were 2 more children: Jotham the II and Mirey, but my notes say that Jotham II was the son of Jotham I and Margaret (Peggy) Maloney, not Phoebe Johnston, and Jotham II m. Mary Polly McCurry 4/1/1824. Mirey was probably a nickname for Mary and I had a Mary listed but deleted her,thinking I was wrong to have 2 Mary's, but Mirey was probably the Mary who m. Wm Stapleton. Now, you say the children of Jotham I and Margaret (Peggy) Maloney were Robert, Hugh, John, James, Martha, and Rev. Alexander Brown. (So, just for verification, I am giving what I have on their children: 1. Jotham who m. Nancy Unknown. 2. Hugh who m. l) Sarah M. Samples, 2) Lucinda Stonecypher 3. Martha A. 1821-97) 4. Alexander 1823-93 m. Jane Babb 5. Johnny B. 1828-1906 m. Perthenia Neal 6. Robert 1808-92 m. Anna M. Babb 7. John 1813-59 m. Sarah Sally Woolsey 8. James 1815-57 m. Jane M. McAmis 9. William 10. Nancy Since Phoebe Johnston was born 1797 and Jotham I Brown was born abt. 1770 and married both Phoebe and Margaret (Peggy), do you agree that its possible that all these children by both Phoebe and Margaret are Jotham I's? And do you note that he did not duplicate any names of children except John???? But to complicate matters even further I have Jotham Brown b. 1783 Va d. 7/21/1859 at Roaring Fork, Greene Co. TN as having married 3/18/1819 Elizabeth (Polly) Johnston and these are their children: 1. Sarah b. 8/26/1826 d. 11/26/1910 2. Ruth 3. Amelia 4. Mary A. 5. Nancy 6. Nelly 7. James E. 8. Jotham Jotham I Brown was the son of David A. Brown I (b. 1750 d. 2/2/1808 m.1770 Lucy Unknown b. 1750 d. ? whose children were: 1. Jotham I b. abt. 1770 d. aft 1808 who m. l) Phoebe Johnston,2.

Ind. m. 1/2/1823 to Nicholas Mace (probably brother of John). David A. Brown lst had Jotham Brown lst and I have listed his children with Phoebe Johnston and his children with Margaret (Peggy) Maloney. Jotham Brown lst had Jotham Brown II with wife Margaret (Peggy) Maloney, not with Phoebe, unless I'm wrong, which is entirely possible. Jotham II m. Mary Polly McCurry 4/1/1824. I do not have names of their children. Now. David E. Brown (not David A. Brown), who was the son of Jotham Brown lst and Phoebe Johnston, married Elizabeth Ann (Peggy) Craig, dtr of Benjamin Craig and had the follow- ing children: 1. David E. 2nd who m. Mary Unknown 2. James 3. Nancy m. Simeon Holder 3/9/1836 4. Polly B. (Mary) m. Solomon Thompson 5. Sylvanus m. Mary Carter 6. Martha 7. Phoebe B. m. Campbell Tucker 8. Jonathan M. (1819-43) 9. William m. Elizabeth Hankins and Lucinda Hankins 10. Joseph You say that David was also married to Nancy Ann Craig, which I suppose is entirely possible, since men often married sisters on those days. But you also say that they had a son named Jotham who m.Polly Johnston or Mary (Polly) Elizabeth Johnston. I find this to be very confusing, since the Jotham who m. Mary (Polly) Elizabeth Johnston was Jotham Ist, son of David A. Brown and Lucy Unknown--, not the son of David E. Brown and Elizabeth Ann (Peggy) Craig). Next you say that the children I associate with Jotham the 2nd really belong to Jotham Benjamin Bown, grandson of Jotham lst through Sylvanus Brown and Ruth Johnston so I want to give you want I have on Sylvanus and Ruth's children. First of all, they m. 9/8/1794 and Ruth was the daughter of Moses Johnston. Children were: 1. Elizabeth 2. John who m. Catherine Morrison 3. Lydia who m. William Crumley the 2nd 4. Mercy 5. William 6. Moses b. 1798 m. 7/21/1818 Saray Crumley 7. Harvey b. 2/10/1813 d. 12/9/1879 m. l) Nellie Unknown, 2) Eleanor Malone m. 7/24/1834 8. Alfred b. 1815 m. 1845 Mary Eakins 9. Mary As you can see by the above list, there was no Jotham Benjamin Brown listed as a son of Ruth Johnston and Sylvanus Brown--but I could be wrong, or rather, the person who gave me this could be wrong. I checked my entire Family Tree Maker for the name Jotham Benjamin Brown and did not find it. Next, you asked me about William Brown, son of Jotham lst, and who he married. It was Martha Blair m. 8/22/1811. I realize the Brown line can be very confusing because they often used the same names. Since this isn't my line as Browns as far as I know, I can not vouch for the above in- formation, although I do have more. I hope this helps you and anyone else researching Browns in Greene Co. and Washington Co. TN.

Hello Jim, Thank you for this note to the list. Do you have anywhere a Malvina (spelling on census) or(Melvina?) D. Brown in your listing of Browns? In the 1851 census , I think, she is listed next to a John Morrison family. She was 19 and living away from home. I had thought that she may have been related to or connected in some way with this family.
