THE LOGAN FAMILY.
The Logan Family. This family became identified with this county in 1823, when William and Elizabeth Logan, hus- band and wife, located in Mingo District. They came from

A HISTORY OF RANDOLPH COUNTY
Rockbridge County, Virginia. William Logan erected and operated the first grist and saw mill in that section of the county. Mr. Logan was an elder in the Presbyterian church and co-operated with Mathew Whitman, Dr. Squire Bos- worth, Johnathan Hutton, Adam See, Daniel McLean and others in organizing that denomination in Randolph. He died in 1858 and his wife in 1831.
James H. Logan, son of William and Elizabeth (Craw- ford) Logan, was third in order of birth of seven children, and was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia, in 1818, and was five years old when he came to Randolph with his par- ents. He was educated at Washington and Lee University and for many years was a school teacher in Randolph. Many of his pupils in after life became prominent at the bar, in the pulpit and other professions. In later years, he followed sur- veying and civil engineering. While never an aspirant for office, he was president of the board of education, member of city council and mayor of Beverly. He was a classical scholar and was apt at quoting the best productions of poets and orators. His foresight was evident by obtaining large holdings in timber lands, which with the development of the county made him a man of wealth. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Logan, two of whom died in infancy. The eldest, Frances Irvine, married Cyrus H. Scott. She died August 5, 1893. Emma, the only surviving child, also became the wife of Cyrus H. Scott.
THE LEVITT FAMILY.
The Levitt Family. Little is known of this family. With- ers does not mention the well authenticated fact that this family was massacred by the Indians. William Levitt entered 200 acres of land on the east side of Tygarts Valley River, May 30, 1780. It is probable that he had occupied the land several years prior to that time. His land was joined on the south by the lands of John Cassedy and on the north by the lands of Cartine White. The Indians secreted themselves behind a cluster of bushes that surrounded the spring, which was about one hundred yards south of the cabin. They wait- ed for some member of the family to appear in the yard,

when the Indians fired. Mrs. Levitt and her children were killed and scalped. Mr. Levitt escaped and when he re- turned to the scene with some neighbors, Mrs. Levitt had re vived, tied a handkerchief about her head and made her way to a clump of underbrush nearby where she was in hiding. However, she survived her injuries but a few hours. The date of the tragedy is uncertain. The land is now owned by Drs. J. L. and Perry Bosworth.

He was elected overseer of the poor in 1803 for the Second District of Randolph. The Second District extended down from Files Creek, including Wilmoth's settlement and the Dry Fork. At that time overseer of the poor was practically the only office in the county that was elective, all other offices were appointive until the adoption of the constitution of 1852.

THE MAXWELL FAMILY.

THE MCLEAN FAMILY.
The McLean Family. Two distinct and non-related Mc- Lean families have lived in Randolph. John McLean was killed by the Indians near Haddan's Fort when Warwick's Company was ambushed. Abner McLean, who in 1807, mar- ried Rhoeba Daniels was, perhaps, a member of this family. This branch of the family spelled their mane McLain.

THE POTTS FAMILY.
The Potts Family. In the year 1847 Mathias C. Potts bought a tract of land on the foothills of Cheat Mountain, about three miles from Valley Head, and moved from Bath County, Virginia, upon it with his family, consisting of him- self and wife and six children, five boys and one girl : the old- est boy, Franklin, being about 14 years old. Mr. Potts was at that time a very vigorous man, about 40 years old. It re- quired much courage, rigid economy and much hard work to clear up a farm in the wild woods and support so large a family, but he and his wife and the older boys addressed themselves to the task and succeeded. In a few years he had a comfortable home and his farm stocked with horses, cat- tle, sheep and hogs. No one in the upper end of Randolph had more friends than he or was deserving of more. His house being the most commodious in the community, became a preaching place. On one occasion when the question of character was being discussed in the "living room" in front of a great blazing log fire, he made this remark, "I do not expect to have very much property to leave to my children, but I want to live so that when I am gone it will be said of me 'he was an honest man.'" He was for a long time justice of the peace in his Magisterial District and his counsel was often sought in settling difficulties between neighbors.
When the war broke out in 1861 his sympathies were with the South and in consequence he was compelled to leave his home and much of his property to the mercy of the enemy. He went as far into the interior as Bath County, but on the way his only daughter died from sickness caused by exposure. He remained in Bath County till the fall of 1865 when he returned to his devastated farm where he con-
366
A HISTORY OF RANDOLPH COUNTY
tinued to make his home until his death which occurred in 1881 while he was on a visit to his son, Newton, in Hunting- ton, West Virginia.
His second son. Warwick, was a very highly respected young man, a carpenter by trade, and died in Upshur County in the winter of 1861-2. Franklin and Newton entered the Confederate Army in May 1861 and served with distinction till the close of the war: Franklin as Orderly Sergeant in McClannihan's Battery and Newton as Lieutenant in Com- pany G Eighteenth Virginia Cavalry, and in the fall of 1864 he was promoted to the position of Adjutant. He had five horses shot under him during his service in the army. Gate- wood Potts enlisted in Company G Eighteenth Virginia Reg- iment. He was wounded and captured in Pennsylvania a few days before the battle of Gettysburg. He was kept in prison until the close of the war.
Hamilton Potts enlisted in the Twentieth Virginia Cav- alry and served until the close of the war.
Franklin Potts married Miss Mary Ann Mathews. Three children, one daughter and two sons, were born of this union. The younger son, James O. Potts, is a minister in the U. B. church.
Newton Potts married Miss Maggie Stewart of Vir- ginia and moved to Huntington, West Virginia. He has been a member of the city council, city clerk and police judge of the City of Huntington.
Rev. L. Gatewood Potts married, first, Miss Jane Woods, of Mingo, Randolph County. Of this union one child, Vernon Brown Potts, was born. He is at present a resident of Flor- ida. After the death of his first wife, Mr. Potts married Miss Anna Waugh, of Pocahontas County, West Virginia. Three children were born to this union, George, who resides in Cin- cinnati, Ohio, J. Forrest Potts, who holds a position with the Western Maryland Railroad at Elkins, and Mrs. Maggie Isner, who is a popular school teacher. Rev. Gatewood Potts, while living on his farm near Elkins, is a prominent local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal church.
Rev. Hamilton Potts was twice married. His first wife was Miss Lizzie Logan and after her death he married Miss
367

Maggie Baxter. Rev. Potts was unfortunate in the death of both of his wives and he is now living alone in Alabama. Six children, four of whom are living, were born to them. His eldest daughter became the wife of Mr. Joe Bartlett, of El- kins. His youngest daughter, Miss Lizzie, is a school teacher. His son, Broadus, lives in Upshur County and Bucy lives in Clarksburg.
