Mary ⁽¹⁾ was born about 1712 in , , , Ireland. The importation record from Orange Co., Virginia raises the poss ibili ty of a first marriage for Francis to Mary and also the possibil ity o f two children Mackham [or Malcom] and Elizabeth by her. Elizabe th i s another form of Isabel. However, since the record is not a con temp orary record of the period, but is in fact a record that has bee n rec opied later when the record book was wearing out there could b e anoth er possibility. Perhaps Mary was actually the abbreviation Mar gt. fo r Margaret, and Elizabeth was Isabel. It seems obvious that Mar kham w as suppose to have been Malcom.

If this first family did exist, then no further record of them h as be en located and apparently they did not survive the hardships o f front ier Virginia. In either case a further thought on Malcom. Th e name ap parently was important to Francis as he named a younger so n Malcom la ter on. Perhaps this was the name of Francis' father.

She was married to Francis MCCOWN about 1729 in , , , Ireland.

Agnes and William Logan were early settlers of Harrodsburg, Kent ucky . Harrodsburg was captured by Indians on two different occasions . Th e second time was in 1776 or 1777. Hugh was a infant in arms. Th e ent ire fort was captured and the inhabitants held prisoner. Of al l the p risoners, Agnes (McCown) Logan was singled out to run the gaun tlet. S he was informed that if she made it without falling, the captu red pri soners would be released. If she did not, they would all be ta ken awa y.

She placed Hugh in the arms of another woman and ran the gauntle t. A t the end, and she had not fallen, others went to assist her. Whe n th ey reached her, they found that her eye had been scooped out wit h a p owder horn.

After this Agnes had ten more children by William Logan. He die d in 1 796 and she married Finley who was younger than she was, and ha d two more children.

Some time in the early Colonial days, the Logans came from Irela nd t o America and settled in Virginia. They were early settlers in th e wi lderness country of Kentucky (then a part of Virginia). They help ed b uild the fort at Harrodsburg, and were among those held as prison ers by the Indians when the fort was attacked and captured by the sav ages .
One of the prisoners was selected to "run the gauntlet." (In thi s tes t, if the runner successfully passed through a line under terrif ic pu nishment, the prisoners were all to be released; failure of th e gaunt let runner meant their doom.)
The lot fell to a little Irish woman, who held her small baby i n her arms. She was Sarah Agnes (McCoun) [sic] Logan, mother of Hug h Logan . Handing her baby into the care of another woman, she resolut ely ent ered the cruel ordeal and by her courage she was able to survi ve the Indians' numerous weapons. When she reached her goal it was di scovere d that she had lost an eye--scooped from her head by a powde r horn.
