Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Timothy Logan, a soldier in the Revolutionary War, who, in 1840, was residing in Garrard County, Kentucky.

While residing in Garrard County, Kentucky, Timothy Logan enlisted at Kennedy Station in 1780, served as an Indian Spy in Captain John Kennedy's Company until about August 1, 1781, when he went under same captain in Generals Benjamin Logan's and George Roger Clark's Indian Expedition and was in a battle with the savages at the Pickaway Towns: length of this service, about two and one-half months: after his return from this tour, he was stationed at Bryant's Station, was in the siege at that station and continued in active service until after peace was declared in 1783.

He was allowed pension on his application executed September 17, 1833, at which time he was aged about seventy-four years and resided in Garrard County, Kentucky.

He died March 20 or 21, 1848, in Garrard County, Kentucky.

Dear Sir;-
          I have a letter that was written from your Bureau to Mrs. C. D. Osborn, Otterville, Missouri, five years ago, in regard to Timothy Logan. He was a Revolutionary Soldier, who resided in Garrard County. I am trying to complete that line for Mrs. Osborn and Mrs. Amon and I would like for you to help me correct an error that I find in the date you have sent, which also conflicts with a record that I find in Madison County.
          The last of the letter from the Department of the Interior reads-" The soldier married October 10, 1793, Madison County, Kentucky, Sarah Alexander.
          Pension was allowed on her application executed February 14, 1853, at which time she was aged sixty-six years, and resided in Garrard County, Kentucky.
          She died July 4, 1853, leaving the following children: George, William, Timothy Logan, Sophia Logan, Margaret Smith and Martha Moran.
          That would have made Sarah Alexander six years old when she was married. In deed book P. page 92 in Madison County there is a record of a deed, where Thomas Smith gives his daughter, Sarah, now the wife of Timothy Logan, a slave valued at five hundred and fifty dollars. This os dated July 15, 1822.
          Timothy Logan was married three times, and all three of his wives were named Sarah, but I do not know the last name of the other Sarah, or which were his first, second, or third wives.
Page 36

                                       2

What puzzles me, is how your Bureau happens to have the marriage record of
this Sarah Alexander, when she could not possibly have been the one who
applied for a pension, it is more likely to have been Sarah Smith.
                 Will you kindly go over all that you have of Timothy Logan, and
send it to me, so I can see if we can get this straight.
                  Thanking you in advance for any help that you may be able to give
me, I am

                                         Most sincerely,

Dear Sirs:-
               I am trying to straighten out a record of Timothy Logan and complete a D. A. R. line of his by April 1st.   He lived in Garrard Co., Ky. It is believed that he came from Surry, or Rowan County, N. C.   He came to Kentucky in 1780, or before.   I find that he was married three times, and all three of his wives were name Sarah, which makes it very confusing.
               I have a letter you wrote to Mrs. S. D. Osborne, Otterville, Mo., in 1930, stating that Timothy Logan was married October 10, 1793, in Madison County to Sarah Alexander.   Pension was allowed to her on application February 14, 1853, at which time she was aged sixty-six, and resided in Garrard County.   There is a mistake , for she would only have been six years old when she married. The marriage record is correct, for I found it in Madison Co.,  I also found in Madison Co., where in 1822, Thomas Smith deeded a slave, to his daughter Sarah, then wife of Timothy Logan.   It could have been Sarah Smith that applied for the pension, or the other Sarah, I do  not know her maiden name, or where she came in.

Dear Madam: 
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the Rev-olutionary War record of Timothy Logan, of Kentucky, which record was furnished Mrs. C.D.Osborne, of Otterville, Missouri, on April 10, 1930. You state that the data contained in the history fur-nished Mrs. Osborne are not correct; that the marriage of Timothy and Sarah Logan took place in 1793, which date you know is correct, and that if Sarah were aged sixty-six years at the time that she applied for pension in 1853, as stated in office letter above noted, she would have been but six years of age at the time of her marriage; also that you do not believe that her maiden name was Sarah Alexander but more likely Sarah Smith as the soldier was married three times. 
You are furnished herein the history of Timothy Logan as found in the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, W.3700, [illegible] upon his military service in that war. 
Timothy Logan was born in Surry County, North Carolina. The date of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.

He was allowed pension on his application executed September 17, 1833, at which time he was ages about seventy-four years and resided in Garrard County, Kentucky.
Page 43

Timothy Logan died March 20 or 21 (both dates are shown), 1848, in Garrard County, Kentucky.

It is not shown that soldier had previously been married. 
Pension was allowed Sarah, widow of Timothy Logan, on an appli-cation which [illegible] executed February 14, 1853, while a resident of Garrard County, Kentucky. In this sworn application she gave her age as 66 years, and in a subsequent sworn statement she gave her maiden name as Sarah Alexander. Her age is not given elsewhere in the papers. 
The widow died July 4, 1853, in Garrard County, Kentucky. 
The following children survived their mother:

BOUNTY LAND WARRANT RECORD CARD*

Name: Logan, William Grade: Private Line: New Jersey

Warrant Number: 8480  Acreage:100  Issued September 21, 1789
[illegible] not shown  {in handwriting]

*The information concerning the issuance of warrants carded on this form is found in volumes 2 to 4 of "Land Warrants Issued Prior to 19=800" which are registers of bounty land warrants issued to non-commissioned officers and privates under congressional resolutions of September 16, 1776, and subsequent dates. Other records relative to the applications for warrants appear to have been destroyed in the War Department fire of November 9, 1800.
