"In a letter to Dr. Lyman Draper, from Robert B. McAfee, Harrodsburg, Ky., written Nov. 25, 1845, and in the Draper collection at Madison, Wisconsin is this extract: ' In the summer of 1807, Col. Logan, being in feeble health, came to Harrodsburg and died. He is buried in the graveyard in the old public square, a few yards south of the old fort. A plain stone marks the spot and unless speedily repaired it will soon be obliterated and forgot.'" - Register of the Kentucky State Historical Society, "Old Fort Hill Cemetery" by Henry Cleveland Wood, page 189.
