Photos Contributed by David Boehmer
David Wesley White (1853 - 1947), and Martha McCollum (1855
- 1911)
David White was a brother to Sarah White and a son of William White and
Rachel Brackett.
David writes: "My mother's grandfather, John Drury Logan,
was born in 1859 in Union County and moved away after his marriage to
Evelyn
Martin in 1879. Evelyn was a daughter of Ervin Martin and Elizabeth
Penland
Martin, all of Union Co. John Drury was a son of William R. Logan (see
Narrative of his life) and Mary Reid Logan. Mary's parents wereas John
Reid and Nancy Logan Reid, of Union Co. I have lots of unknown photos
of
this family, but most of them were probably made in Bradley County, TN.
The picture post card that I have attached says "from Georgia Hughes;
to cusen (sic) Evie". So the card was sent (I would guess about 1920)
to Evelyn Martin Logan. The children could be cousins through her
husband's
family. I am not aware of any Hughes' in the family except for John
Drury
Logan's step mother, who was nee Hughes. The card probably could be of
children living in Union Co, but possibly from Fannin Co or another
nearby
county. Some of these people could still be living."
Do you know who these people might be?
John Harvey Penland (1800 - 1890)
In 1845 he was living in Union County, Georgia. He was a member of the
House of Representatives in Union Co. 1849-1850. He was a member of the
Constitutional Convention of 1865. John was married to Evaline Anvil
Nichols.
John Reid (1798 - abt 1886)
came to Union County from Rutherford County, NC. He was married to
Nancy
Logan and together they had five daughters, one of whom was Mary Reid
who
married William R. Logan. This photo dates to circa 1875.
Louisa Fair Odom, b 1867, was married to Washington Lafayette
Odom.
Her parents were Charles Fair and Sarah White Fair.
This photo was taken about 1930, probably in Cleveland, TN where she
lived
from about 1920 until her death in 1944.
David adds: "I am searching for a photo of Washington Odom."
Nancy Delilah Logan Fortenberry (1855 - 1938)
was the wife of Marcus Lafayette "Bud" Fortenberry, and a daughter
of William R. Logan and Mary Reid Logan.
She lived in Union County all of her life and still has many
descendents
there.
