John Logan (pioneer)
John Logan (1747July 1807) was a pioneer and politician from the U.S. state of Virginia and later, Kentucky. He participated in Lord Dunmore's War in 1774, serving under his brother, Benjamin. After moving to Kentucky County, Virginia, he took part in several expeditions against the Shawnee, including some led by Daniel Boone, John Bowman, and George Rogers Clark. After Kentucky County was split into three counties, Logan represented his home county, Lincoln in the Virginia House of Delegates and at several of the conventions that effected the separation of Virginia from Kentucky.
When Kentucky became a state in 1792, Logan briefly served in the Kentucky Senate and was appointed as the state's first treasurer, an office he held continuously until his death in 1807. After being appointed treasurer, he moved to Franklin County, where he became one of the first trustees of the city of Frankfort, which became the state capital. He also represented Franklin County at the 1799 state constitutional convention and later became the county's first circuit court judge.
==Early life==
John Logan was born to David and Jane (McKinley) Logan in the spring of 1747.〔Kleber, p. 567〕 He was one of eight children in the family.〔Talbert, p. 128〕 Prior to John's birth, his parents had immigrated from Ulster by way of Pennsylvania and settled near the North River in Virginia.〔〔 John Logan was baptized into the Presbyterian church on May 10, 1747.〔
David Logan died in 1757, leaving no will, and his entire estate passed to his oldest son Benjamin when he came of age in 1764.〔 Benjamin sold the entire estate and divided the money among himself and his brothers and sisters.〔 Benjamin and his brother, Hugh, used their shares to purchase a farm on the James River, and their sister Jane joined them there.〔 John Logan soon purchased of land for himself near his family.〔 In the early 1770s, he married Jane McClure; they had six daughters and a son.〔 Benjamin Logan moved again, this time settling on the Holston River, and John and his wife followed in 1773, establishing their home at Black's Fort (now the city of Abingdon, Virginia).〔
