My
4th great grandfather,
Adam
Logue, had a brother John. Both boys were born in Ireland (debated whether Derry or Donegal) and came to America around 1770, settling in Pennsylvania. Some research has been done to find their history in Ireland, but nothing is confirmed.
I just finished watching the documentary, Born Fighting, with US Senator James Webb as host who wrote a book of the same name about his Scots-Irish ancestry. The basic premise of Ulster-Scots history is that Scots settlers (largely Presbyterian) emigrated to Ulster / Northern Ireland during the plantation of Ulster starting with the Hamilton & Montgomery plantation in 1606 and then later many emigrated to the USA along with Scots settlers and all the others from around the UK & Ireland and Europe.
This may be one explanation of why and how our Logues got to the American colonies. Wikipedia states "Upon arrival in America, the Scotch-Irish at first usually referred to themselves simply as "Irish," without the qualifier "Scotch." It was not until a century later, following the surge in Irish immigration after the
Great Irish Famine of the 1840s, that the descendants of the earlier arrivals began to commonly call themselves Scotch-Irish to distinguish them from the newer, largely destitute and predominantly
Catholic immigrants. (The earlier Irish immigrants were predominately Calvinists) The usage "Scots-Irish" is a relatively recent version of the term. The historic and most commonly used term in America is Scotch-Irish, as evident in Merriam-Webster dictionaries, where the term Scotch-Irish is recorded from 1744, while Scots-Irish is not recorded until 1972.
Another explanation - The term is somewhat unclear because some of the Scotch-Irish had little or no Scottish ancestry at all, as dissenter families had also been transplanted to Ulster from northern England, Wales and the London area, and some from
Flanders, the
German Palatinate, and France (such as the French
Huguenot ancestors of
Davy Crockett).
What united these different national groups was their common Calvinist beliefs. - Maybe our Logues were Scottish or maybe German, Welch or French.
Were they Protestant or were they Catholic? If Catholic, then the part of Co. Derry where Adam is supposed to be from would have been subjected to ruthless military rule. It was a very Catholic part of south county Derry. Catholics were subjected to severe pressure to give up their religion and conform to the religion of the Established (Protestant) faith. The Penal Laws lasted from about 1700 - 1829 the year Catholic Emancipation was granted. Did immigrants fall foul of the Penal laws?. They may well have done so and America was their only way out to escape summary jail, transportation or indeed execution. In the Penal era, the Irish Catholic was forbidden to receive education, to hold public office, to engage in trade or commerce, to own a horse of more than a stated value, to purchase land, to lease land, to vote, to keep arms for his protection, to buy land from a Protestant, inherit any thing from a Protestant. a Catholic could not be a guardian to a child, when dying leave his infant children under Catholic guardianship, attend Catholic worship, himself educate his child, send his child to a Catholic teacher, employ a Catholic teacher to come to his child, send his child abroad to receive education, he was compelled by law to attend Protestant service.
The priest was banned and hunted down by the numerous militias with blood hounds and also the school master suffered the same harassment. In the reign of George I the Lord Chancellor Bowes pronounced “The law does not suppose any such person to exist as an Irish Roman Catholic.”
The purpose of the Penal laws was to Protestantise the mass of the people, by eliminating their priests in time they would be loyal subjects of the crown. It is good to record that many a time during the centuries of Ireland’s agony many decent God fearing Christian Protestants hid the hunted priest when the bloodhounds and human hounds, were close upon him saving the hunted priest at the risk of his own. Many a time too the decent Protestant sometimes a poor man accepted the legal transfer of the lands of his Catholic neighbor and hold them for his Catholic neighbors benefit. In the case of Presbyterians they also had problems with the State which was treating them as 2nd. class citizens. The Catholics were at the bottom of the pile.
Anyway, come to America they did and just in time to battle the British in the Revolutionary War. John is well documented as a patriot -

in reference to story about Homer N Logue p 1542
Our subject's paternal grandfather, John Logue, was a native of County Donegal, Ireland (other reports say Derry), and at the age of 13 was bound out to become a sailor. After a few trips to America, he became infatuated with this country, and in order to remain he deserted the crew. He located east of the mountains, and later on Bear Creek in Butler county, Penn., his farm being now known as the Sheppard farm, very rich in oil. He wedded Mary Sproul, who was also born on the Emerald Isle and came to the United States shortly after he located here. When crossing the mountains to make a new home in Clarion county they had three children, two of whom they placed in sacks with their heads out, and these sacks they hung across the back of a horse. Their family consisted of the following named: William, Catherine, Sarah, James, John, Robert, Andrew and Elizabeth. All but Elizabeth are now deceased.

I've written before about my 4th great grandfather, Adam Logue. Here are notes for ADAM LOGUE from my Family Tree Maker database:
According to the research of Lois Jordan of Kersey, PA, Adam was a resident in the United States by 1751. He was married on 28 Jun 1792 to Nancy Sterret at the First Presbyterian Church. Adam served in the Revolutionary War first under Captain John Lenzan and later under Captain Samuel Posselwait when he marched to Woodbridge, NJ and Fort Lee, NJ to take action in the Battle of Long Island. He was married twice. Nancy was his first wife.
The origins of our Logue family have been traced, with certainty, to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where Adam Logue (b. 1751) reports that he served in the Revolutionary War. In this report Adam states that he was born "in 1751 in County of Derry in Ireland". Apparently he had no confirmation of this information, other than "the verbal communication of my mother".
Adam Logue moved west to the Sinnamahoning River area of north-central Pennsylvania, and dies there on 4 April 1836.
After living/working in Carlisle during the Revolutionary War, Adam reportedly moves to York County, Pa., then to Northumberland and afterwards to Lycoming County, Pa., eventually settling in Potter County, Pa.
http://www.rootsweb.com/~idvalley/personalhistories/logue.htm
According to history, the Logue Family dates back to the tenth century, and the name of Logue and Logan are anglicized forms of Lochan, son of Diamhin, King of Argille, and from whom the families decended. In the 18th century, during the reign of King Louis the XVI, the ancestor of the Logue family was in France, and his loyalty to the king led to the confiscation of his property, and he fled to Scotland, and then to Ireland. The first Logue to appear on record in PA was in the early 1800's in Clarion County
My name is Raymond Logue from Ballykelly,Derry,Northern Ireland.The name in its present form is pronounced ie:Vogue as in the magazine replacing the letter V with the letter L.Although this is an English corruption of an Irish name.It was formerly O'Laoghog and prior to that O'Moalmhadhog phonetically pronounced Mulvogue.This name is also in existance in Ireland and is of the same origin as Logue.There are a few more derivatives all belonging to the same clan but only came about due the anglicisation of Irish names during the plantation of Ireland in the 1600,s.I hope this clarifies some things for u.
Adam served in the Revolutionary War first under Captain John Lenzan and later under Captain Samuel Posselwait when he marched to Woodbridge, NJ and Fort Lee, NJ to take action in the Battle of Long Island.

I was retained to search for Adam Logue during late summer 2005. My search is one that has taken some interesting angles and twists.
This site has been built to explain what this search has entaled.
On September 15, 2005 I visited the library at Daughters of the American Revolution. A search of the database did not include the name of Adam Logue or any material about him.

Adam Logue (son of George Logue and Elizabeth) was born 1751 in Derry, Antrim, Ireland, and died April 04, 1836 in Grove Twp, Pennsylvania. He married (1) Mary D Leverson. He married (2) Nancy Sterrett on June 28, 1792 in July 4, 1792: Married Thursday last by Rev. Dr. Davidson, at the seat of Ralph Sterrett..
Includes NotesNotes for Adam Logue:
Adam received 400 acres of land in Cumberland Co, PA. He served in the Revolutionary War, enlisting and serving two years and nine months as a private and brick master with the PA troops under Captains John Lemon and Samuel Popelwaite. At the time of his enlistment, he was a resident of Carlisle, Cumberland Co, PA. After the war, he moved to York Co, PA, living there for five or six years. He then moved to Belengula, to Northumberland, then afterwards to Lycoming Co. He was living in Trace Township, Potter Co, PA in 1852.
Bounty-land warrants, which entitled their holders to free land in the public domain, were given to veterans or their survivors for wartime service performed between 1775 and 3 March 1855. Bounty-land warrant application files, which provide evidence of military service, are part of Record Group 15, Records of the Veterans Administration. Other applications were for pension for service.

We marched immediately to Wood Bridge, the object in going to Wood Bridge was to prevent the Tories from carrying provisions and intelligence to the enemy. I was at said Wood Bridge under the above named officers upward of three months.
The Battle of Long Island being then anticipated, I was ordered with others to the City of New York to take charge of and remove the public property, to keep it out of possession of the enemy. We marched as far as Fort Lee, on our way to which place we pressed(?) several ______ for the purpose of removing the public property from New York.

I received two dollars from Captain Posselwait to ______ my expenses to Philadelphia, the whole company being on their way to Carlisle, I was nearly six days on the way from Wood Bridge to Carlisle. When I arrived at Carlisle, I was again put to work in the Continental Brick Yards where I served the remainder of my term of enlistment. I was then discharged by Captain Lemon but did not get my discharge in writing. I then enlisted under Captain Samuel Posselwait for one year if not sooner discharged, to take care of the public works at Carlisle. I was discharged at the expiration of nine months. I did not get my discharge in writing. Deponent cannot recollect the year in which he enlisted, but knows the Battle of Long Island was fought when he was on his way from Wood Bridge to New York - General Armstrong and Colonel John Irwin, and ______ Davis, all returned from Wood Bridge to Carlisle at the time I returned under Captain Posselwait.
I was born in year one thousand and seven hundred and fifty one, in the county of Derry in Ireland. I have no record of my age - other than the verbal communications of my mother.
When I enlisted I was living in Carlisle in Cumberland Co. After the Revolutionary ______ I removed to York County PA where I lived for five or six years; I then removed to Bald Eagle - then Nothumberland and now Lycoming County where I continued to reside until I removed to Grove Township where I now live.
I entered the service by enlistment, but ___________ to go to Wood Bridge with the consent of my Captain as set forth in the foregoing declaration.
I cannot state the names of more of the regular officers than are set forth in the above declaration.
I was discharged as set forth in my declaration.
I never secured a commission.
I am known in my present neighborhood to the Honorable John Cummings, one of the associate judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Lycoming County, Alexander McCormick and Alexander ______ Esq of the County aforesaid who can testify as to my character for veracity and their belief of my services as a soldier of the revolution.
And the said applicant doth hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity, except the present, and declared that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any state.

From: "Maurine Taylor" To: "Melody Logue"
Dear Melody,
Here is the information I promised. Have been having some trouble with vision, so I have delayed.
A short time ago I learned an astonishing bit of information which solved a mystery I've faced since June of 1990 on our "clan dig" to Cameron County, PA. In the public library in Emporium (county seat), I was given a copy of the names of the cemeteries with the names of those buried in each. If you'd like a copy, send me your address and I'll mail one to you.
The mystery was this: Who are these people buried in Jericho Cemetery in (Sinnamahoning near the mouth of First Fork) in a row with Adam LOGUE, my 4g grandfather? At last I know the answer. Those buried near Adam are denoted by an asterisk (*).
*Adam LOGUE, veteran of the American Revolutionary War, b. 1751 in County Derry, Ireland. d. 4 Apr 1836 at age 86 years. * wife Mary, d.--Aug 1843 at age 85.
Adam had three sons:
Archibald LOGUE b. 1793, married Mary MEYERS
Thomas LOGUE b. 1794, married Elizabeth JORDAN, parents of Harrison, my 2g grandfather. Later married Amanda MEAD, and Nancy BROOKS
George LOGUE b. 14 Jun 1799, married *Lemira (Lamira) Frances DEWEY, b. 1801? and died 08 Jun 1824. They had the following children:
John Miller LOGUE, b. 3 Apr 1819, bp Clinton,PA
*Adeline Thankful LOGUE, b. 27 Jul 1820 at Clinton, d. 27 Aug 1820 at 1 month
Mary Ann LOGUE, b. 12 Sep 1821 at Clinton, m. 28 Nov 1844 to Albert Jesse HOYT in Clinton
Moiselle Larne LOGUE, b. 29 Nov 1822 in Clinton m. 1846 to Elias BARR in Clinton
Samuel Moore LOGUE, b. 2 Aug 1824 in Clinton
Adam James LOGUE, b. 24 May 1827, in Clinton
George Thomas LOGUE, b. 25 Jun 1829 in Clinton
*Eunice Elvira LOGUE, b. 27 Aug 1830, in Clinton d. 08 Jun 1831
Sibyl Amanda LOGUE, b. 16 Feb 1833 in Clinton m. 06 Feb 1850 to Charles Edmond Edward Honstain in Clinton
*Elizabeth LOGUE, b. 17 Aug 1834 in Clinton d. 13 Sep 1834 1 month
*Sarah LOGUE, b. 17 Aug 1834 in Clinton d. 6 Oct 1834 2 months
*Charles Royal LOGUE, b. 16 Dec 1835 in Clinton d. 16 Dec 1835
The information about the birth dates, etc. of George's children appear a Family Tree Maker CD which a friend has, namely Vol. #11 trw #3278. It coincides with information in SLC at the library. It was the name Adeline Thankful which rang a bell.
Now, do you know where George went, where is he buried? Also, where is Thomas? One solved problem always seems to present a new one.
Happy ancestor hunting.
Perhaps I can help answer some of the questions and raise some new ones.
Adam Logue (1751 - 1836) is my 3rd great-grandfather. George Logue (1789 - 1859) is my 2nd great-grandfather, and Thomas Logue (1829 - 1885) is my Great grandfather. My sources about Adam Logue and his descendants contain some information, primarily birth and death dates, that is different from that provided in Maurine Logue Taylor’s account.
My first source, the
family Bible of my grandparents, Samuel and Jennie Logue Cummins, has the following information: (Info in parenthesis from other family sources).
George Logue: born June 14, 1789 (served in War of 1812), died Aug. 19, 1859
Grandmother Logue: (believe her name was Lamira Frances Dewey) born November 6, 1801, died Mar. 13, 1880
Thomas Logue: born June 25, 1829, died Nov 6, 1885, age 56 years, 4 months, 11 days (He and three brothers served in Civil War)
Alvira Logue: (wife of Thomas) born June 16, 1845, died Jan. 19, 1886, age 40 years, 7 months, 3 days
Children of Thomas and Alvira:
Mary Logue: born March 12, 1862, died Feb. 27, 1880
Charlotte Adela Logue: born Feb. 6, 1867 (Lottie ?), died Feb. 6, 1867
Sherman Logue: born Feb. 4, 1868
Janie (Jennie) Logue: (middle name Helen) born Mar. 25, 1871, died Mar. 10, 1909, age 38 years, 11 months, 15 days (If born in 1871 should be 37 vice 38 years - died Yellowstone TWSP, McKenzie CO, ND)
Elmer Elleworth Logue: born July 16, 1974, died Oct. 4, 1874, age 2 months, 18 days
Cadwell Logue: born Sept. 12, 1875
Madge Logue: born Sept. 16, 1878
Fay Logue; born Oct 19, 1884, died Jan. 22, 1887
Jennie Logue married Samuel Cummins on April 23, 1890 (Probably in Emmons CO, ND - They had nine children. Their fourth child was William Dewey Cummins, born Dec. 30, 1894)
Madgaline Logue married William A. Carmicheal on May 19, 1897 (Lived in McIntosh, SD and Linton, ND)
Cadwell D. Logue married Grace Coon on June 17, 1905 (Lived in Emmons CO, ND - wandered about in ND, SD and MT)
My second source is
census records. The 1850 Census for Grove TWP, Cameron CO, PA lists George Logue (misspelled as Logen), age 61, farmer, born in PA in 1789. His wife, Lamira, age 49, born in MA in 1801. Son Samuel, age 24, farmer, born in MA in 1826. Son Thomas, age 21, farmer, born in MA in 1829. Daughter Samantha (could this be Sibyl Amanda, born 1833), age 17, born in MA in 1833. (Question: Were the children born in MA or PA. PA is more likely.)
The 1850 Census for Gibson TWP, Cameron CO, PA lists Harrison Logue, age 39, farmer, born in PA. Elizabeth Logue, age 27, born PA. Nancy C. Logue, age 5, born PA. James M. Logue, age 4, born PA. David S. Logue, age 2, born PA. Elizabeth Logue, age 47, born PA. Susan Jordan, age 43, born PA.
The 1870 Federal Census lists 49 Logues in Cameron CO, primarily in Grove and Gibson TWPs. Those listed include Adam, age 83, born in PA, Elizabeth, age 70, born in PA, Elizabeth, age 48, born in PA, and Harrison, age 50, born in PA.
My third source is
Broderbund WFT Vol. 2, Ed. 1, Tree #4880, Date of Import: Jan. 12, 1997. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this source. It lists George Logue, born 14 June 1789, Adams Co, PA, died 18 July 1959, Muscoda, WI. His wife as Lamira Francis Dewey, born Oct 6, 1801, Westfield, MA, died March 18, 1880, Muscoda, WI. They were married April 22, 1818 in Carlisle, PA. Only one child was listed, John Miller Logue (his birth date was given as Apr 3, 1812 - obviously it should be 1819).
Adam Logue, born 1751 in Derry, Ireland, died 1799, Carlisle, PA. He married twice. He and his first wife Mary (born 1758) had two children: Adam Logue, born 1787 in PA, married Jane Brooks, and died 1875. George Logue, born June 14, 1789 in Adams Co, PA, married Lamira Frances Dewey (see above), and died July 18, 1959, in Muscoda, WI. No mention of when Mary died. Adam’s second wife was Nancy Sterrett; her father was Ralph Sterrett. Adam and Nancy have one child listed, Archibald Logue, born 1792. He married Mary Meyers. No mention is made of a Thomas Logue being born in 1794 (or any other date) to either wife in this source.
Adam’s father is listed as George Logue, born about 1720 in Co Derry, Ireland and died about 1778 in Carlisle, PA. His wife Elizabeth was born in PA and died about 1782 in PA. Nine children are listed for George and Elizabeth, including Adam, the fifth child.
This may help answer the question as to where George (1789 -1859) went, but not Thomas (1794 - ?). It also indicates that Lemira Francis Dewey Logue lived to a ripe old age of 79. Therefore, who the Lemira Frances who died June 8, 1824? Who was Mary who died in August of 1843. The age is right for Mary born in 1758. But then where did Nancy Sterrett come from? Is she for real? Did Mary and Adam divorce? Unheard of in 1790! Adam (1751 - 1799) apparently had four sons, Adam (1787 - 1875), George (1789 - 1859), Archibald (1792 or 1793 - ?) and Thomas (1794 - ?). From the census info it appears Thomas must have died before 1850.

Adam Logue
File #19971, R6415 - Rejected
Williamsport, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania
- Identity of Relative and Absolute
Adam Logue a Soldier of the Revolutionary War from County Derry.
Of Haslet and Morgan we have proof of links back to Ireland. Of many others we have little. However in the far off remote Jerico cemetery at the mouth of the First Fork close by Sinnemahoning in Cameron Co. Pennsylvania we have a resting hero. Adam Logue born Derry Co. Ireland died 4. 4. 1836 aged 86. He would have been born in Co. Derry in 1750 a little later that Col. Haslet. We shall never know where in Co. Derry he was from but
we can be fairly sure he was of the Presbyterian faith.
On his gravestone is listed the following.
Wife Mary d. 8-?-1843 85y.
Adeline d.?-27-1820 1m.
Lemira Francis d.6-8-1824 2d.
Eugene Elvira d. 8-27-1831.
Elizabeth d. 9-13-1834.
Charles R. d. 12-16-1835
We can only assume that apart from Mary his wife the others were descendant relatives,
