Catherine married Ralph E. Logue, Elizabeth married John Smith Logue, Aaron married Mary E. Logue, and Gabriel married Nancy Logue. By the time Honora (Logsdon) Logue and Daniel Logue died, she in 1844 and he in 1851, Elizabeth (McKenzie) Logue had also died, and John Smith Logue had remarried. In select papers regarding the estate of Daniel Logue, both Mary (Logue) McKenzie and Nancy (Logue) McKenzie are mentioned. This information appears in John H. Doty's "Pioneer Families of Colonial America," Copyright 1977, on pages 188, 202-203. From the legal description of real estate mentioned in estate papers of Gabriel McKenzie's son Lewis McKenzie, Gabriel and Nancy (Logue) McKenzie were grantors of "the North West Quarter of the North West Quarter of Sec 19, Township 8, North Range 4, East of the 3rd P.M., containing 45 and 90/100 acres through a warranty" to Lewis McKenzie and his wife Normanda (Logue) McKenzie, the grantees. This particular land is located near Moccasin, IL. For those who enjoy family stories, one legend exists that Gabriel would walk from his farm house near Moccasin to Effingham every year to pay his real estate taxes. On his last trip, it is said that he only made it part of the way and was forced to rest. Eventually, he was brought home by some neighbors. Legend also has it that he regularly walked from his farm near Moccasin to Saint Bonaventure Church, three miles north of St. Elmo, IL., so that he could attend Mass. Seemingly, Gabriel was a religious person. In the entry made of his death and burial on February 17, 1884, on page 160 of Volume I of the parish records for St. Bonaventure now maintained at St.Clare's Church in Altamont, IL, the priest at that time wrote, "Today, I buried Gabriel McKensey. He was a very pious man." Gabriel died on February 15, 1884, and one assumes that he is buried in the St. Bonaventure Cemetery, next to the church he loved to attend. In an obituary prepared about Gabriel's son Lewis McKenzie, the journalist at that time related that another of Gabriel's sons, John McKenzie, was the very first person to be buried in St. Bonaventure Cemetery. Regrettably, no markers indicate the location of either person's grave. Gabriel's wife preceded him in death a little over 5 years earlier.
