Benjamin Logan (1743-1802) was born in Virginia, but as a young man ventured west into the Holston River area. He served in the Virginia Militia in several campaigns against Shawnee and other tribes, including in Lord Dunmore's War. In 1775 he joined a group led by Daniel Boone into central Kentucky. He left Boone's party and founded a fort at St. Asaph's, near modern day Stanford, KY, in Lincoln County. During the American Revolution, Logan rose to second in command of the Virginia Militia in the Kentucky region. After the War, Logan continued to engage in military activities in the Kentucky and Ohio frontiers, including the ill-fated "Logan's Raid" that saw the illegal and unfortunate murder of an elderly Shawnee chief. Later he pushed for Kentucky' statehood and served in the state constitutional convention and it its House of Representatives from 1792 to 1795.
