Lawrence Logsdon b c1800 - died 1886, was aged79 in 1880. Lawrence Logsdon marriedMalinda Porter b 1799/1800 PA, daughter of William Porter. "William Porter, late of Allegany Co MD.(will written 20 May 1836, pr 25 Mar 1844) has wife unnamed, Children: Lendy Logsdon, wife of Lawrence Logsden, SarahLogsdon wife of Anthony Logsden.[1] He was age 10<15 (10) in 1810, marriedbefore 1820 census, he is m 18<26 and wife 16<26 in 1820 census, page 18.
