Individual Details
William Logan
(8 Dec 1776 - 8 Aug 1822)
William is purported to have been the first white child born in Kentucky - no doubt he was one of the earliest.
He married Priscilla Wallace 28 Jan 1802 in Charlottesville, Albemarle Co VA - if this is the correct place, one wonders how he met her.
