(1) Rev. George E. Brewer, History of Coosa County, Alabama (Easley, SC:
Southern Historical Press, Inc., 1987), p. 126.
"Ellis Logan, who had resigned as captain of Co. H., 13th Ala., in May,
1862, on
account of health, returned to Coosa and resumed his duty as sheriff. In
May, 1864, under a special Act providing for the enlistment of such as
were exempt from Confederate service, to form companies for home defense,
thus supplementing the power of the Confederate forces in the State for
protection within the State borders, Ellis Logan raised a company of this
kind, of which Logan was captain."(1)  It should be noted that this
company did some service in south Alabama.
(1) Rev. George E. Brewer, History of Coosa County, Alabama (Easley, SC:
Southern Historical Press, Inc., 1987), p. 161.
"Ellis Logan's father was one of the very early settlers of Coosa in
Traveler's Rest beat.  Ellis grew to manhood here. He had been deputy
sheriff before succeeding to the office.  Though not educated he made a
good officer.  He raised a company for the war, which went to Virginia
and did good service.  He resigned because of health."(1)

in TN, age 46, married, and Chiff(1) at Rockford, AL. (2) He resigned 28
May 1862 at Richmond, VA because of ill health. (3)
