Source notes

• Assuming Robert Logan is approximately the same age as Euphamia, he would have been around 50 at the start of the Civil War. This seems old for a soldier. There is a different Robert Logan (age 19) in the 1860 census for Slippery Rock Twp.
• 1850 and 1860 census searches for Butler County give a Rober Logan b. ca. 1800 living with other people, but no evidence of Euphamia.
