"There were a few whites scattered in different parts of the (Coosa)
county, living among the Indians (Creeks) before the organization of the
county, but the names and locations of but few are known. Alexander and
John Logan, brothers, lived among them, probably in the neighborhood of
Hatchett Creek, above Rockford." (1)

John Logan married Margaret Davidson, July 27, 1841 at Rockford, AL. She
was the daughter of Isaac Davidson and was born in SC. To their union was
born Caroline Jane, James M., John Robert, Isaac D., George W., Napoleon
B. and Henry C. Logan. They lived in Nixburg and he was listed in the
1850 US Census as being a grocer. He is also mentioned in Rev. Brewers

at Mt Olive, with her young family and reared her sons as farmers. James,
John Robert and Isaac Logan served with the Confederacy during the Civil
War, probably with the 62nd Alabama Infantry Regiment.
