... 1850 Ga-Murray Co census, page 246, family #1358 to find OliverH.McDonald, 20 yrs in the household of his parents: Hugh McDonald andMary Ann Loggins, who married on 21 Aug 1817 in Franklin Co, Georgia.Mary Ann Loggins is the dau. of John and Mary Loggins. Although there ismuch contraversial data on the parentage of Hugh McDonald, born in Ga,and having several Hugh McDonalds. It is believed by some that HughMcDonald may be the son of James McDonald (born Scotland;died in FranklinCo, Ga) and Sarah Carruthers (born NC;died in Franklin Co,Ga). All ofthis data can be checked with the census, marriage listings and otherreferences in Georgia. You should be able to find more data on John(b:Va)and Mary (b:NC)Loggins. ...There is not a name of the complierprinted family sheet that was copied from the Society Letters of Polk Co,Ark., Sept 1987.
