  Notes	James Logan was born in 1835, 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. James enlisted as a private in the Union Army in Limestone County, Alabama. He was signed in by Captain Canfield, for three years with Company K, 1st Regiment, Alabama Calvary at Huntsville, Alabama on July 1, 1862. He was transferred to Captain Smith's Company, 1st Regiment, Alabama Calvary, at Huntsville, Alabama on August 12, 1862. His service records show that he was with Company E, 1st Regiment, Middle Tennessee Calvary, by October 31, 1862. In November, he entered Number 4 Army Hospital, Nashville, Tennessee, when he died December 24, 1862 from pneumonia. He was buried in Nashville City Cemetery, Davidson County, Tennessee, grave marker number 2059. James received a land grant in 1856 and had been a farmer in Fayette County, Alabama prior to his enlistment. He never married. -- Donna W Collins
