Robert Joshua Logston/Logsdon Sr.
Surnames: Logsdon, Logston's

Hi, Im looking for information on my great great grandfather side, Robert J Logston Sr. Last name originally spelled Logsdon but changed over to Logston. He was born (believed birth) -- March 4, 1898 in Harlan Co, Kentucky. He died on May 20, 1963 in Marion Cty, Indiana.

He married Laura Iva Russel (birth: February 3, 1902 in Clay, Indiana - Death: February 9, 1988 in Marion Cty, Indiana). They were married on June 1, 1918 in Indiana. We believe his father/mother to be a James Cal/Calvin Logston/Logsdon and a Katie last name unknown. Can anyone help me to verify and continue this search?

I know that the original spelling of the name is - Logsdon, originating from Kentucky. However, when my great grandfather moved to Indiana the name spell changed to Logston and the name change created bad blood through out the family. I am assuming the name change was to pull away from the turmoil that was surrounded by the hanging of Calvin Logsdon of whom I am not sure if is the same as James Calvin Logsdon/Logston above. I have yet to find more proof towards that. Can anyone help me out please?
