Memorial Record of Western Kentucky, Lewis Publishing Company, 1904, pp 744-745 [McCracken] LOGAN L. BROWN. Among the prosperous farmers and highly respected citizens of McCracken county, Kentucky, is the subject of this sketch, Logan L. Brown, whose identity with this county dates from 1887. Mr. Brown was born in Henderson county, Kentucky, in the year 1842, and comes from North Carolina and Virginia ancestry, his parents, Charles W. and Rachel (Green) Brown, having been born in North Carolina and Virginia, respectively. His grandfather, William Brown, was a Scotchman who settled in North Carolina at an early day; and his maternal grandfather, Peter Green, was a native of the Old Dominion. Charles W. Brown was a soldier in the war of 1812, a participant in the battle of New Orleans, and was a prosperous farmer. His two sons, Peter B. and Logan L. Brown, continued in the occupation in which they were reared, both becoming successful farmers, Peter B. now being a resident of Henderson county. Logan L. Brown had not yet emerged from his teens when the great Civil war broke out, but his youthful spirit was fired with love of native land and he went out in 1861 as a soldier in the Confederate service. He shared the fortunes of the southern army until 1864, when he returned home and settled down to farming in Henderson county, and two years later was married. In 1887 he moved with his family to McCracken county, where he has since been successfully engaged in agricultural pursuits. Mr. Brown was married in 1866 to Miss Lizzie Rue, daughter of Stanford Rue, a well known farmer of Henderson county, and their children are Charles, Anestion, Ottist and Elmer. Mrs. Brown died in 1889. Politically Mr. Brown is a Republican and has ever taken an active interest in local politics. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic.
