James Logan b. 20th of the 8th mo. [Oct] 1674 attained the Latin, Greek, and some Hebrew, before he was thirteen years old; in his 16th year, having met with a book of Lleybourn's on mathematics, he made himself master of that science without any manner of instruction. He had been put apprentice to a considerable linen-draper in Dublin, but the Prince of Orange landing, and the war in Ireland coming on before he was bound, he was returned to his parents, and went with them, first to Edinburgh, and then to London and Bristol. Here, he says, whilst employed in the instruction of others, he improved himself in Greek and Hebrew, and also learned French, Italian, and some Spanish. In 1698, he had a prosepect of engaging in trade between Dublin and Bristol an dhad commenced it with good promise of success; but in the spring of 1699, he was invited by William Penn to accompany him to his colony in America. He accepted the proposal, and sailed with Penn in the Canterbury, in September 1699, arriving at Philadelphia in the beginning of December. On their arrival, Penn made him not only secretary to the Province, but gave him a general charge both of the government and property, saying, "I have left thee in an uncommon trust, with a singular dependence on thy justice and care." Logan died in 1751 and throughout this long term of half a century, most faithfull observed the trust. The estate he left was not a great one, considering his unusual opportunities. When Penn offered to give him one thousand acres of land in Bucks County, he would accept but one-half of that amount.
