James Logan b. 20th of the 8th mo. [Oct] 1674 attained the Latin, Greek, and some Hebrew, before he was thirteen years old; in his 16th year, having met with a book of Lleybourn's on mathematics, he made himself master of that science without any manner of instruction. He had been put apprentice to a considerable linen-draper in Dublin, but the Prince of Orange landing, and the war in Ireland coming on before he was bound, he was returned to his parents, and went with them, first to Edinburgh, and then to London and Bristol. Here, he says, whilst employed in the instruction of others, he improved himself in Greek and Hebrew, and also learned French, Italian, and some Spanish. In 1698, he had a prosepect of engaging in trade between Dublin and Bristol an dhad commenced it with good promise of success; but in the spring of 1699, he was invited by William Penn to accompany him to his colony in America. He accepted the proposal, and sailed with Penn in the Canterbury, in September 1699, arriving at Philadelphia in the beginning of December. On their arrival, Penn made him not only secretary to the Province, but gave him a general charge both of the government and property, saying, "I have left thee in an uncommon trust, with a singular dependence on thy justice and care." Logan died in 1751 and throughout this long term of half a century, most faithfull observed the trust. The estate he left was not a great one, considering his unusual opportunities. When Penn offered to give him one thousand acres of land in Bucks County, he would accept but one-half of that amount.

Mercantile trade with his father; made attorney of the Penn family in 1741. Actively engaged in trade until his father's death; at this time resided Stenton [the family manor inherited from his father] and devoted himself to agriculture. Notes on William Logan: William Logan's Role as Native American Diplomat: "Like his father, he was a great friend of the Indians, travelled among them frequently without an armed escort, even in days when Indian atrocities had alarmed the whole frontier; and frequently entertained large delgatives of the aborigines at ìStentonî. He voted against the proposition to Council to pay for Indian scalps, on April 6, 1756, and against the declaration of war four days later." Bio on William Logan from Colonial & Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania; Geneological and Personal Memoires, Vol. I: ìWilliam Logan, 2nd son of James Logan, born in Philadelphia July 14 1718, at the age of twelve years was sent to England to be educated under the care of his uncle and namesake, Dr. William Logan, a prominent and wealthy physician of Bristol, England, and remained there until he arrived at manhood. On his return to Philadelphia he engaged in the mercantile trade with his father, and was made attorney of the Penn family on the death of Andrew Hamilton in 1741. He was actively engaged in trade until the death of his father, in 1751, when becoming the owner of ìStentonî he took up his residence there and devoted himself to agriculture. He was elected to the Common Council of Philadelphia, October 4, 1743, and remained a member of that body until the municipal government of the city was suspended by the Revolution in 1776. When his father on May 29, 1747, sent word to the Governorís Council that he no longer considered himself to be a member of that body, William Logan was immediately called to take his place, and he continued a member of Council until his death on October 28, 1776. He was a far stricter Quaker than his father, and was always actively opposed to war on any pretext. He voted against the proposition to Council to pay for Indian scalps, on April 6, 1756, and against the declaration of war four days later. With his cousin, Israel Pemberton, and others, he formed the Peace Association, and offered to go at his own expense to the Delaware Indians to persuade them to lay down their arms and enter into a treaty of Peace. Sir William Johnston, Governor of New York, being already negotiating a peace treaty with them, the argument of the Peace Association carried considerable weight and William Logan was one of the delegates to the Conference with the Indians at Easton, when peace was declared. William Logan cared less for literary and scientific pursuits than his father. He was an extensive traveller and left a Journal of some of his rambles, notably that of a visit to Georgia. With his brother James and sister, Hanna Smith, he on August 29, 1754, deeded library property, designed by his father for the use of the people of Philadelphia, to a board of trustees, consisting of himself, his brother James, Israel Pemberton Jr., his first cousin, William Allen, Richard Peters and Benjamin Franklin; William Logan acting as Librarian until his death. He also bequeather to the library thirteen hundred volumes bequeather to him by his uncle, Dr. William Logan, of Bristol, England, with the provision that such as were duplicates of what the library already contained, should be given to the Philadelphia Library. Conscientiously opposed to war, and deeply attached to the Penn family whom he had long represented in America, William Logan naturally held aloof from active part in the revolutionary struggle, and like many others of his ilk, was often an object of suspicion, and had he lived until the British threatened Philadelphia, would doubtless have been arrested and subjected to considerable annoyance as were many other wealthy and influential men of his class. He lived quietly at ìStentonî during the inception of the national struggle and attended the meetings of Provincial Council long after the battle of Lexington. Like his father, he was a great friend of the Indians, travelled among them frequently without an armed escort, even in days when Indian atrocities had alarmed the whole frontier; and frequently entertained large delgatives of the aborigines at ìStentonî. He lived a life of activity and good deeds thoroughly consistent with his religious belief. He died at ìStentonî, Oct 29, 1776, and was buried at the Friendsí Burying Ground. He Married, March 24, 1740, Hannah Emlen, daughter of George Emlen, born in Philadelphia June 1, 1722, died at ìstentonî, Jan 30, 1777. Bio on William Logan from Provincial Councillers : ìWilliam Logan , b. 5mo., 14, 1718 , son of James Logan , the President of the Council, and himself a Councillor, was sent, when twelve years old, to his uncle, Dr. William Logan , in Bristol, England . His father's letter of advice to him, on his leaving home, is printed in Hazard 's Register. Watson 's Annals tells us that he finished his education in the mother country. After his return, he engaged in business with his father, and also was made attorney with him, for some of the Penn family. He was a merchant until the death of his father, when he became owner of Stenton , and devoted himself more particularly to agriculture. He was a Common Councilman of the City from 1743 until February, 1776 , when the meetings of the Corporation were discontinued. On May 29th, 1747 , when James Logan sent word that he no longer considered himself a member of the Governor's Council, his son William was called to the Board, and appeared and qualified. He was a stricter Quaker than his father, and had a goodly amount of independence, even voting against the Governor's candidate for member of Assembly, when the object of the other party was to change the form of government. In the troublesome period which followed Braddock's defeat, he was very active, not in preparing for war, but, consistent with his principles, in trying to prevent it. In the middle of the winter, he went with the Governor to Carlisle , to see what attitude the Indians of that neighborhood would assume. On April 6th, 1756 , Logan voted "no." Four days later, some members of the Society of Friends addressed the Council against declaring war; and there were others besides Quakers in the Colony who suspected that some special grievance had caused the red man to yield to the solicitations of the French. Logan moved that summons be sent for a full meeting of the Council that evening. This was done. Strettell and other Quaker members attended in the evening, but agreed to the declaration of war, and Logan 's solitary dissent was entered on the minutes. His cousin, Israel Pemberton , and others, about this time, formed themselves into the Peace Association, and offered to go or send at their own expense to persuade the Delawares to lay down their arms. Some friendly Indians became the ambassadors. It happened that, at the time Pennsylvania was declaring war, Sir William Johnson , in New York , was effecting a negotiation with the Delawares, and he wrote to General Shirley that the step taken by Pennsylvania without asking the concurrence of the other colonies, or even notice to them, was a very unaccountable proceeding. Logan attended the conference at Easton , where peace was proclaimed. He could always be depended upon to accompany the Lieutenant-Governor, or take a journey alone, when Indian affairs required it. He received Indians cordially at his house, giving the aged a settlement on his land, and educating the young with his own means. He was in favor of force to protect the Indians who were threatened by the Paxton boys in 1764 . He was quite a traveller, and has left a journal of his visit to Georgia . He was at home during that portion of the Revolutionary war which he lived to see, attending the meetings of the Provincial Council long after the battle of Lexington . He took no active part in the struggle. William Logan , with his brother and Mrs. Smith, deeded the library property, August 28th, 1754, to Israel Pemberton, Jr., William Allen, Richard Peters, and Benjamin Franklin, to be with William Logan and his brother, James Logan, the Trustees or managers; and William Logan acted as librarian until his death. Furthermore, by his will, he added to the collection the books bequeathed to him by his uncle, Dr. Logan, about thirteen hundred volumes, providing, however, that such as were duplicates of those already in the Loganian library, should be given to the July 25th, 1772 .
