General Notes: Husband - Col. Henry Logan
His first public act was to volunteer as a private in the War of 1812 for the defense of Baltimore. After the close of the war he was chosen captain of the Tenth Company, Ninetieth Regiment, Second Brigade, Fifth Division of Pennsylvania Militia, composed of men from York and Adams Counties. August 1, 1814, he was commissioned by Gov. Simon Snyder, lieutenant-colonel in the same regiment for seven years. He represented York County in the State assembly of 1818 and 1819, and in the State senate from 1828 to 1831. In 1834 he was elected a member of the Twenty-fourth Congress, and reelected by an increased majority to the Twenty-fifth Congress in 1836. He was in Washington during the exciting times of Jackson's second administration of whom he was a great admirer and personal friend. About 1840 he was elected a county commissioner, and during his term of office succeeded in clearing the county of its large indebtedness.
Col. Logan was a strong Democrat. He was the leader of his party in the county, and it was largely owing to his influence that the Democrats attained the supremacy in the county which they held long after. He often said that although he had been so frequently honored by his fellow-citizens, he had never asked a man to go as a delegate or vote for him. He was a self-made man; he had few opportunities of receiving a school education, but was a constant reader and a good writer. When a young man he organized a debating society, to which he afterward attributed much of his success. He was a man of sound judgment and good common sense, and of remarkable general intelligence. When he once made up his mind nothing could shake his purpose or his conviction. His counsels were sought by his acquaintances, and his advice was of great value to his neighbors. For many years he was a director of the Carlisle Deposit Bank, and of the Allen & East Pennsboro Mutual Fire Insurance Company. He took a deep interest in the common schools and served frequently as school director. He was also an ardent advocate of the American Colonization Society. Col. Logan was a man of strong physical. constitution, standing six feet tall, and of commanding appearance. He was an early riser, hard worker and knew no fear. A man of plain tastes, of frugal habits, but indomitable will, energy and perseverance, he succeeded in acquiring a comfortable fortune, owning at the time of his death over 700 acres of land.
He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church. They had eleven children, seven of whom survived them.
