Adam served in the Revolutionary War.
There appears to be more than 1 Adam Logue.
George Logue and Adam Logue owned property adjoining each other in Carlisle, PA (then Cumberland County) 3/1/2017: After looking in the records in Harrisburg, I find that George and Adam received their land from John Logue (probably a brother) who had received it as a land warrant. I have been to the property and found that it is now a game preserve. Deep woods.

BIOGRAPHY. He arrived to America just in time to participate in the American Revolution, joining from another part of Pennsylvania. Some decades later, his family believes he followed three adult sons to this county.

Descendant Wesley W. Craig, writing at valley.IDgenweb.org in 1999, said Adam always maintained 1751 and Londonderry, which matched his stated age of 86 at death. A modern search of records, Mr.Craig said, found no clear confirmation of place and date, as Adams' parents' names apparently were not written down for him.

It's possible he was one of seven siblings orphaned, with the oldest brother named George the one keeping the papers. They showed a brother named Adam among the children. It was not clear which of two Adam Logues, this one or another in Penn., was the orphan. The orphans' father was called George Logue. George was common as a Britsh name, but rare as a Scottish or Irish name. Early Britain was often rather cruel to orphans then, taking them from homes and indenturing them off, with children's masters allowed to move them anywhere, even to another country. (An old Shirley Temple movie based on an 1800s novel was critical of the abuses in indenturing orphans, creating an uproar. The practice, essentially a form of temporary slavery, was stopped.)

If he didn't remember his parents bringing him to this country, did a master instead bring him to the colonies?

GEOGRAPHY. This Adam Logue was well under 30 when the United States separated from the British kings. The American Revolution began. A similar story in Ireland unfolded, with Northern Ireland resembling Canada in staying under the British King The Republic of Ireland, to the south, resembled the USA by becoming its own country.

A family tree gives his birthplace as County Derry. That was repeated by multiple relatives, for instance, at genealogy.com in 1998, by Maurine Taylor, writing to Melody Logue. Maurine had found books on local cemeteries in the Emporium, PA, public library, helping to explain family mysteries detected in a 1990 visit to Jericho Cemetery, located, she said, near the mouth of the First Fork of the Sinnamahoning River.

When under original native rule, called County Derry, then changed by the incoming London plantationmasters to County Londonderry, either way, just one county inside a larger region called Ulster. Irish Catholic gentry were the earlier landlords. They were replaced by invading British Protestants, with their landlords serving companies headquartered in London called The Drapers, The Ironmongers etc.

In the centuries preceding, the upper class landlords brought in both Scottish settlers (thus, Presbyterian, as that had become the official Church of Scotland) and also British settlers. They were brought in waves, put into competition with the native Irish for tenant rights. Conflict resulted.

The conditions were not good, whether early or late-arriving, for most Ulstermen, exceptions being landlords or shopkeepers or government officials or millers. A big drawback compared to America was that a tenant in that era always rented, generally could not dream of owning a farm. Those moved in from Scotland or England thus might make their stay short and head quickly to America, only having a few births back in Ulster.

The place name has since reverted back to County Derry. Findagrave still has the Londonderry county designation, as it was the name used in the 1700s and 1800s, when lots of migration to America occurred. A city inside the county has kept the Londonderry name.

There are modern Logues still back there. One discussed at Wiki, Hugh Logue, born 1949, was of the city of Londonderry. According to Wiki, he had much to do with establishing peace between the long-warring groups there, native Catholics versus imported Protestants. Some say they were pitted against each other, the worst landlords raising rents on or evicting a set already present, in order to rent land more expensively to incoming settlers.
