A Margaret Logan is listed in the following Old Rappahannock County, Virginia court records of 1686/1687. While no specific evidence has been found to indicate she was related to the four Logan brothers, there is also no evidence to rule out this possibility. Old Rappahannock County was not far from Spotsylvania County, Virginia where William Logan, the presumed father of the four Logan brothers, first appeared in the records in 1725.
Rappahannock County Court, 2d day of March 1686/7, p.15 (18):
