If my David Logan is the son of the David Logan who owned the fruching mill, why did he leave? He would have been the oldest son, and well in line to get the family business and plantation when his father died. Why would he run off with his new wife to Ohio, where he didn't own any land, and later head west to Illinois to buy 160 acres, and then take them to Terre Haute Indiana? I've gotten the feeling from my research on David Logan that he marched to the beat of a different drummer. Some clue of that is in where he is buried. New Harmony near Terre Haute was a Utopian settlement. It still exists today. Any answers?
