    Notes 
    • Many researchers give his parents as John H and Dorcus (McKinley) Logan of Lincoln Co., Kentucky, who married there in 1791, citing a 1941 book but no other sources; other researchers (including this one) have given his parents as a William H and Catherine (Henderson) Logan, but probate records for William and Catherine disprove it
    • Searched the following locations for probate records listing Robert McKinley Logan as an heir:
      Searched Blount Co., Tennessee probate records; several Logans none giving Robert M as an heir
      Searched Williamson Co., Tennesse probate records
      Searched Limestone Co., Alabama probate records
      Searched Madison Co., Alabama probate records
    • Searched Morgan Co., AL deed index 1820-1845; no Logans (2021JAN28)
      Searched Williamson Co., TN deed index 1799-1830; a Daniel Logan buys a 186 acre tract in 1801 and sells for a large profit in 1806 but no other Logans found (2021JAN28)
      Searched Blount Co., TN deed index 1794-1850; several Logans present but no Robert nor John H nor William (2021JAN28)
      Searched Fayette Co., AL deed index (1848-1894); several Logans including John C and brothers but none appearing earlier than 1870 (2021JUL24)
    • Based on hints from "Historic Families of Kentucky" (1889), in which there is a very long chapter on "The Logans" and allied families, as well as later (1932) research in the Kentucky Historical Society magazine, this branch may have migrated to Lincoln county, Kentucky in the 1770s or 1780s, thence to Shelby county, Kentucky, and thence to Davidson or Sullivan county, Tennesse, before migrating in the early 1820s to Alabama.
