General Notes: Husband - Alexander Logan
He began learning the tanner's trade in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but was encouraged to study for the ministry by his employer, and did so, being aided by the society whose funds were sacred to that purpose, educating young men for the ministry. As soon as his brother Hugh heard of his accepting aid from strangers he seriously objected and promised to send him sufficient money to educate him when added to what the young man could earn; he was graduated from Western University of Pennsylvania, class of 1823, that being the first class ever graduated from that institution; he later studied theology at Princeton, and became a teacher and preacher at a boys' school near Covington, Kentucky, where he died.
