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.
