  Logan Family
James Logan, at the time he settled at "Stenton", had acquired a fortune in
  commerce, in trade with the Indians, and by the purchase and sale of desirable
  tracts of land in all parts of the Colony, which his position as Surveyor General
  gave him opportunity of securing. He was therefore able to live in princely
  style, and entertain with a free-hearted hospitality. For more than a century
  "Stenton" as the home of the Logan family was the resort of notable and
  distinguished persons of the Colonies and from abroad, and its mistresses were
  •   among the most accomplished women of their time.[Pennsylvania Founding Families, 1681-1911. [database online] Provo, UT: Ancestry.com, 2000.

    Historical Context: See Philadelphia , the city and its development  [At the time of his arrival Philadelphia was only shortly removed from a period of cave dwelling for its first inhabitants] See also the advertisement for return of his runaway indenture, an Irish lad. 

    Occupation:

    Resided: Stenton Manor , Germantown, Philadelphia
    See Photos of Stenton from 1900 and including interior and exterior shots from the Library Co of Philadelphia's collection 
      James Logan built Stenton Manor [to Photos of Stenton from 1900 from the Library Co Collection ] from the great profits he generated in Indian trade and commerce, and speculation in the land of Pennsylvania which he, as surveyor, was enormously aware of. The Manor  is now surronded by a bustling Philadelphia previously miles away, and devoid of the 500 plantation acres which encompassed it.  It is considereděthe finest example of Colonial architectureîand the plantation  now mainly pertains to LaSalle University, while the home ěStentonî belongs to the City of Philadelphia. 7 It also belongs to American History, for many times delegates of Pennsylvania Indians camped in its shadows while meeting for days at time with its owner,  a great negotiator with the native Pennsylvania americans,  one of whom , a mingo chief, was named for him and many of whom visited his home.  Shortly after his death the house was occupied  a brief period by General George Washington and then by General Sir William Howe as his headquarters during the Battle of Germantown. See also Stenton, The home, as described by Jordan in 1911. Three generations of Logans pertain to this home and it is not unlikely that Harriet Logan knew it intimately. 
      • His library, housed in Stenton, comprised thousands of  tomes and a young Ben Franklin is referenced as utilizing James Logan's personal library. James Logan is  the FIRST builder of a public library in America, in the form of The Loganian Library of Philadelphia , to which he bequeathed his tomes and provided for in his will. Logan was also involved with Ben Franklin in the formation of The Library Company of Philadelphia to which he contributed tomes and for which he chose its first purchase. in 1792, the Loganian Libraray, at Franklin's suggestion, merged with The Library Company of Philadelphia maintaining a seperate collection within it and a Logan precense on the Board of Trustees.  The Library Company of Philadelphia  maintains a current online precense

    Colonial & Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania; Geneological and Personal Memoires, Vol. I:
    ěWilliam 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 ěStentonî 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 ěStentonî 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 ěStentonî. He lived a life of activity and good deeds thoroughly consistent with his religious belief. He died at ěStentonî, 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 ěstentonî, Jan 30, 1777.î33
     

    Provincial Councillers:
    ěWilliam 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 . The witnesses were Samuel Morris , Jr., Israel Morris , Jr., and Edward Middleton . It was probated November 25th, 1776 .

     PHILADELPHIA LOW CHEST LEADS THE WAY IN FREEMANíS  INAUGURAL AMERICANA SALE http://www.freemansauction.com/news_docs/HTML%20Files/1153post-sale.htm
    ěFreshness and solid provenance were two important factors in the strong price for the low chest, which descended in the Logan and Fisher families through Sarah Logan Fisher
    (1751-1796) to William Logan Fisher (1781-1862) to Mary Rodman Fisher Fox (1822-1903) to Joseph Mickle Fox (1853-1918) to Eliza Middleton Fox Tilghman to Joseph Fox
    Tilghman to the consignors. The chest may have been one of the items William Logan commissioned for his daughter Sarahís marriage to Thomas Fisher ? a very close friend of
    Thomas Affleck ? in 1772. ě

    ěLemon Hill was built on grounds once owned
                                                             by Robert Morris (1734?1806), the
                                                             Philadelphia merchant and entrepreneur who
                                                             bankrolled Washingtonís army. By 1770,
                                                             Morris began to accumulate parcels of land along the east bank of the Schuylkill River. On
                                                             this site he raised cattle and hogs imported from England as well as a Spanish mereno
                                                             ram, which he delivered to Thomas Jefferson in the hope of developing a woolen industry
                                                             in America. Morrisís estate, known as The Hills, also included an elegant greenhouse
                                                             surrounded by a large garden with the ěbest fruit trees, partly improved for the Kitchen
                                                             and partly for pleasure.î While not the first in Philadelphia, it was, according to Morris, ěby
                                                            far the Compleatest of anything of the kind in America.î

                                                             William Logan, son of William Pennís secretary James Logan, also had greenhouses at his
                                                             house in town and at his country seat, Stenton, located in the Germantown area of
                                                             Philadelphia. Here were grown the orange and lemon trees that were recorded as having
                                                             been given to someone ěunfortunate in business,î and then sold at auction to Morris. In
                                                             1799, Morris was forced to sell all of his holdings to satisfy his creditors. Pratt purchased a
                                                             portion of the property and named his house Lemon Hill, after the famous lemon trees in
                                                             the Morris greenhouse.2î

    ěTheir courtship as  gleaned from the diary of John Smith, is the subject of a delightful book, entitled "Hannah Logan's Courtship", recently
     published, which gives us the best picture of Colonial life in Philadelphia to be found in our later day literature. The introduction to the diary opens with an account of the visit to "Stenton", June 1, 1744, of the Indian Commissioners from Virginia, on their way to meet the Iroquois chieftans at Lancaster to negotiate a treaty, and quotes from the Journal of William Black, the Secretary of the Commission, published in the Pennsylvania Magazine; and the merry young Secretary thus describes his impressions of Hannah Logan, "At last the Tea Table was set and one of his daughters presented herself in Order to fill out the Fashionable Warm Water; I was really very much surprised at the appearance of so Charming a Woman, in a place where the seeming moroseness and Goutified Father's Appearance Promised no such Beauty, tho' it must be allowed the Man seem'd to have some Remains of a handsome enough person, and a Complection beyond his years.

    "But to return to the Lady, I declare I burnt my Lips more than once, being quite thoughtless of the warmness of my Tea, entirely lost in Contemplating her Beauties. She was tall and slender, but Exactly well shap'd, her Features Perfect softness, denoting a compos'd Temper and Serenity of Mind. Her Manner was Grave and Resev'd and to be short, she had a Sort of Majesty in her Person and Agreeableness in her Behavior, which at once Surprised and Charmed the Beholders." 44
