| The
circumstances that took Magnus junior to Orkney are not known. We do
know, however, that he was married there, in July 1790, to a girl from
Westray, by the name of Christian Seater. They had four children, two
boys and two girls. Only the fourth child, a boy they named James
Urquhart, seems to have survived infancy. |

| James was born in September, 1799. His mother sadly died shortly after his birth. James Urquhart Anderson served as an elder in the Original Secession congregation until its linkage with the Free Church congregation, whereupon he became an elder in the Free Church and apparently acted as Precentor for a time. He died in October 1874, in Kirkwall. |
