William H. Loggins is a son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Baugus) Loggins, who were born in Montgomery and Humphreys Counties, Tenn., respectively. Both came to Perry County when young, and here they married and spent the remainder of their lives. The father was a farmer, and died in 1871. The mother’s death occurred in 1869.

He resided at home until the family was broken up by his father’s death. He was then a farm laborer for eight years, and on November 17, 1879, his marriage with Tennessee Jane Ingram was celebrated. He soon purchased the farm where he now resides, which consists of 384 acres, and soon purchased another farm of 165 acres. To Mr. and Mrs. Loggins four interesting children were born, namely: Docia Elizabeth, deceased; Benjamin Littleton, deceased; Ada Azalie, deceased; and William Thomas, still living.
