"There were a few whites scattered in different parts of the (Coosa) county, 
living among the Indians (Creeks) before the organization of the county, but 
the names and locations of but few are known. Alexander and John Logan, 
brothers, lived among them, probably in the neighborhood of  Hatchett Creek, 
above Rockford." (1)  "On the west side of Hatchett Creek and north of 
Rockford is the region known as Hanover beat. The settler here who lived among 
the Indians were Alexander Logan and James Lindsey, father of W. M. 
Lindsey."(2)  "Alexander Logan lived till a few years back in the lower part 
of the neighborhood, reaching a ripe age. Two sons, John and James, lived to 
be men of ripe years in the community, and other children and descendants are 
still in the section." (3)
