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 another Robert Logan (age 19) in the 1860 census for Slippery Rock Twp. and despite the reference in Source #6 (John W. Jourdan's history), this younger Robert Logan may be the Civil War veteran.
  • 1850 and 1860 census searches for Butler County give a Robert Logan b. ca. 1800 living with other people, but no evidence of Euphamia.



DISCLAIMER: USE OF UNDOCUMENTED WEB SOURCES

Some of the information on this page was found on websites presented by researchers who have either not listed their sources or employ the circular logic of citing additional undocumented websites.
These web site sources are listed separately below. The attribution number for these web sources is preceded by a "W".
We frequently find conflicting information on the web family trees.

Ref. Num. Description Extract
W1 Flitch-McGowan-Hockaday-Brown family tree, on Ancestry.com, owner "mflitch7", no email address. Site lists descendants of Euphema Massey Stoughton and Robert Logan, Jr. (children Adaline, Clarissa,Martha, Eliza Jane (1825-1888),& Hannah Logan (1837-????)). Site lists parents of Euphema Stoughton as Catherine Covert and (erroneously, we believe) John Walker Stoughton. See John Stoughton for discussion. The site also gives for Euphema a marriage date of before 1825, a notation of "separation from Robert Logan, Jr" dated 21 Nov 1827, and a death date for Euphema of 1841.
Sources listed for Euphema Massey Stoughton are the 1810 & 1820 census for J. Stoughton family, & the 1830 & 1840 census for Robert Logan family. None of these census list children's names, marriage or death dates, so sources for this information not specified.
This site includes a photo portrait of Eliza Jane Logan
