The following is a partial transcription of the History of the Logans14 document written by Sophia Logan (for privacy reasons, living generations have not been reproduced here).

In the 1830 census29 Joseph Logan is again listed in Rutherford County, NC immediately next to his father Drury Logan. But his brother Benjamin Logan is not listed next to Drury and Joseph as was the case in 1820. Benjamin may be the 30 to 39 year old male listed in Drury's household.

In the 1840 census29 Joseph Logan is listed on a page entitled "Eastern end of Rutherford County". Also listed on the same page, 11 entries later, is a "B. Logan" which is probably his brother Benjamin. Joseph's father Drury died in 1835 and is therefore not listed in the 1840 census.

| Cleveland, NC | Sally Logan | 18 | F | N.C. | Dec | Fever | 20 |
In the Mortality Schedule of the 1850 U.S. Federal Census28, there is an entry for a Sally Logan who died of "fever" at the age of 18 in December 1849. Although there is no known evidence to confirm it, it is possible this Sally Logan was one of the unidentified females listed in the Joseph Logan household in the census of 1840. It would be understandable that Joseph may have named a daughter after his mother Sarah who used the nickname Sally.
Joseph Logan is listed in the 1850 Agricultural Census of Cleveland County, NC (pages 805 and 806, line 34)27. The details of his listing are as follows:
Acres of Land - Improved 30 Acres of Land - Unimproved 270 Cash Value of Farm 400 Value of Farming Implements and Machinery 20 Horses 1 Milch Cows 2 Other Cattle 2 Sheep 5 Swine 10 Value of Livestock 120 Wheat, bushels of 21 Rye, bushels of 4 Indian Corn, bushels of 200 Oats, bushels of 30 Wool, lbs. of 14 Peas and Beans, bush. of 2 Irish Potatoes, bush. of 5 Sweet Potatoes, bush. of 15 Butter, lbs. of 50 Flax, lbs. of 10 Beeswax and Honey, lbs. of 30 Value of Homemade Manufactures 20 Value of Animals Slaughtered 50

The Mortality Schedule of the 1860 U.S. Federal Census28 lists Joseph Logan, a farmer, age 75 who died a "sudden" death in March 1860. His age is consistent with the age of the Joseph Logan who was listed as age 65 in the 1850 census and was head of the household including Jane, Philip, David, and Huldah. No evidence has been found to suggest there was another Joseph Logan in Cleveland County who was close to that age.
