There were two groups of Logies in Rousay and it is thought that they were
both descended from an ancestor who came from Westray originally but no
written proof of this can now be found. Both groups lived in the
Westside district of the island in the 1840s. One group was headed by John
Logie who married Mary Craigie and the other by Alexander Logie who
married (1) Isabel Harrold and (2) Barbara Murray. Both John and Alexander
were born about 1800. It is known what became of two of the sons of John
and Mary. One, also called John, married (1) Cecilia Gibson and (2) Jane
Harcus and became the laird's yachtmaster. The other, Robert, became a
shepherd at the large farm of Westness. He married Mary Murray.
Alexander
ran a general merchant's business in the westside for a time and lost his
life on a boat trip to Kirkwall. His son John, who was a cattle dealer,
married Mary Gibson and their son John was killed in World War 1.
