Logan Family
« on: Wednesday 28 December 11 07:51 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for any information on John Logan and Mary McNaught who were married in approximately 1815. They were from Minnigaff and had 15 children. John's parents were Robert Logan and Margaret McRae...

As a check on Mary's parents~

Mary McNaught was baptised in Dalry, Kirkcudbrightshire on 18 February 1791. Parents - Alexander McNaught and Elizabeth Coultart.

Son in law, James Turner,  probably mixed up John's mother's name with her's on the death cert. it wasn't unusual!

Johnstone Logan was my great grandmother. My name is James Turner and I grew up in New Galloway. My dad was James Turner, son of John Turner, who was a son of James Turner and Johnstone Logan.
