    Notes 
    • David Logan was born May 6, 1847, Fayette County, Alabama to Robert "Bob" Logan and Virginia Jane "Jennie" McCaleb. The Logans were staunch Republicans and Church of Christ believers. Robert had been raised as a Presbyterian but was supposedly converted by Andrew Campbell.

      The eight brothers, born between 1823 and 1847 all supported the Union cause although the oldest, Daniel Lapsley "Lap" Logan could not enlist for medical reasons. Because of a hernia, he was unable to serve in the Union Army with his brothers but he helped build bridges for the Union forces. It is possible Lap died from tuberculosis although it is rumored he was murdered and his body tied on the back of horse, taken home, and thrown into the yard.

      Harm enlisted in the Union Army in January, 1863 as a private with Company K, 1st Regiment, Alabama Calvary. He deserted (no additional information available) and since he had served less than 90 days, he was denied a military pension. He married Betty Elizabeth "Bessie" Pratt, daughter of Abijiah K. Pratt and S. E. Hardin. Bessie was born June 24, 1852 and died of appendicitis on June 18, 1917. They had six children and were considered to be prosperous farmers in Marion County, Alabama. He died of old age and heart failure on April 25, 1921 and is buried with his wife at Guin City Cemetery, Marion County, Alabama.
