LOGAN, Hugh Logan was born in Ireland. At

from home and went to sea. He followed the life of a sailor for three
years, and then landed at Philadelphia, and made his way from there
to KY., during the first settlement of that state. He married REBECCA
BRYAN, a sister of JONATHAN, DAVID AND HENRY BRYAN, who had been raised
by her aunt, MRS. DANIEL BOONE; her mother having died while she was
young. Their children were William, Alexander, Hugh, Jr., Henry (called
"Ross") and Mary A. Mr. Logan was drowned in Fleming's creek,
KY., while attempting to swim a race horse across the stream, and his
body was not found until twenty-four hours afterward. The night before
his death he had a singular premonition of his approaching fate in a
dream, in which the catastrophe of the following day was clearly depicted.
He related the dream to his wife, who tried to persuade him not to go
near the creek that day; but he laughed at her for being scared at a
dream, and met his death as above stated. William Logan, the eldest
son, married NANCY H. HOBBS, daughter of JOSEPH HOBBS AND NANCY HUGHES,
and came to MO. in 1820, with his wife and one child, on horseback.
They had 12 children in all. Mr. Logan died in 1852, but his widow is
still living, on the old place in Tenque Prairie, in her 81st year.
Her memory is bright as ever, and she takes great pleasure in relating
incidents and adventures of early days in Missouri and KY. She still
has her wedding dress, which is made of home-spun cloth and striped
with copperas. Alexander Logan married ELIZABETH QUICK, and settled
in Callaway Co., MO in 1817, but the following year he moved and settled
on South Bear Creek, on the line between Warren and Montgomery counties.
He was a man of iron constitution, and could endure the greatest extremes
of cold and heat without apparent inconvenience. His will was as strong
as his constitution, and he governed his family and everything that
came under his control with the strictest discipline. One day, he accidentally
killed a fine donkey, for which he had paid $500, while trying to teach
it "horse sense" with a clapboard. Hugh Logan married a MISS
MASSEY, and settled in Warren County. He was very fond of hunting, and
became subject to rheumatism from exposure in the woods. But he wa cured
one day by an adventure with a bear, which is related elsewhere. Henry
Logan came to MO. when he was quite a boy, and at the age of 14 he accompanied
Daniel Boone and JOHN DAVIS on a hunting expedition to Grand River.
His father having died while he was young, he was bound out to learn
the tanner's trade, and when he became able, he opened a tanyard in
Montgomery Co., and carried on the business for many years. He was more
eccentric than any of the other boys, and many amusing anecdotes are
related of him. He was a member of the Old Baptist Church, and a regular
attendant upon religious services. He would often carry his hat full
of grapes to church and pass them around to the ladies and children
during services. In warm weather he went barefooted, with his pants
rolled up nearly to his knees; and it is said that he courted his wife
barefooted. He asked her father, JACOB QUICK, for her hand, late one
Sunday night, long after the family had retired to bed. It seems that,
about 12 o'clock, he obtained the consent of his sweetheart, and immediately
knocked at the door of her father's sleeping room, in order to secure
his sanction. Mr. Quick, startled at the unexpected summons, sprang
up and demanded what was wanted, to which Logan replied in a loud voice,
"I want you daughter, Sally". The old gentleman, who was vexed
at the disturbance and the abruptness of the demand, replied angrily,
"Take her and do to the devil with her". Mr. Logan wore a
hat for 20 years that was made by MARK COLE, out of raccoon and muskrat
fur. It would hold an even half-bushel of corn, and it's owner frequently
used it to measure grain with. He once had a bushel of seed corn that
he was saving for a neighbor, when another neighbor came along one day
and wanted it, but Logan told him he could not have it unless he would
prove himself to be the better man of the two. The neighbor said he
was willing to try, and so they went at it on a big pile of tan bark.
The result was that Logan lost his corn. Late one night, a stranger
stopped at his house and begged to stay all night when Logan gave him
the following characteristic reply: "No, Sir, you can't stay all
night at my house, but if you feel like it you may spent the BALANCE
of the night with me." Notwithstanding his eccentricities, he was
a kind-hearted man and a good neighbor, and was respected by all who
knew him. Two years ago, he started to California to visit one of his
sons, and not long after the train had left Omaha, he fell from the
car and was killed.
MORROW, Daniel Morrow, a soldier of the
war of 1812, married FANNY HALL, and settled in So. Carolina, but afterward

with DR. MCFARLAND, of Troy, and they went to all the quiltings and
dances together. They were both very tall men, and the lofts of the
cabins had to be taken out before they could dance without striking
their heads against the boards. When the dance was over they would assist
in replacing the loft. Young men and women often came to these frolics
barefooted; but they generally went prepared with buckskin, from which
they made moccasins to dance in, before the dance began.
