Logan - Black, pg. 436 (sn. Logan), cites "Robert Logan witnessed resignation of the lands Ingilbristoun in 1204." R&W, pg. 283, (sn. Logan) cites the same. According to Grimble, pp. 128-29, the Logan clan did not appear to be in the area around Argyll, and there doesn't appear to be any famous ones named Alexander

"Tierced per chevron wavy throughout argent, Or and azure, a garden rose slipped and leaved, a sprig of St. John's wort vert, and a heron rising argent." Her old device, "Tierced per chevron wavy throughout argent, Or and azure, a garden rose slipped and leaved, a allspice branvh vert fructed gules, and a heron rising argent." is to be released if this one passes.
If this was a new submission, it would probably be returned for using three unrelated charges together in a group and for using a natural agrden rose. However, the only difference between the submission and her currently registered device is the change of an allspice branch to a sprig of St. John's wort. Everything else is grandfathered by virtue of being on her original device.

Gabrielle - The International Genealogical Index, published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in Supplemental Disk 8, lists two occurrences of "Gabrielle" with this spelling:
de Nevers - Toponymic surname from the city of Nevers. The Regions of France by Wayne Northcutt, pg. 66 (pce) describes the city of Nevers as being known for its medieval and Renaissance architecture, some dating back to the eleventh century. Additional support for this construction is provided by the Armorial General by J.B. Riestap, pg. 311 (pce) which lists the family of "de Nevers" as "anciens comtes" in an undated entry. Nevers is mentioned as a city by Gregory of Tours (p. 433), so it has been in existence since at least the 6th century CE.

Michelina - Arval, Feminine Given Names from the Online Catasto of Florence of 1427 cites this spelling. "Patron Saints Index: Michelina of Pesaro" (http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/saints55.htm), says that Michelina of Pesaro (also known as Michelina Metelli) lived from 1300 to 1356; she was widowed young and eventually became a Franciscan tertiary; she was beatified in the 18th century.
Cenomani - Ellis, Celt and Roman cites this as the name of a Celtic tribe in Roman Italy. (pce)
The online Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th Edition, says, under the heading "Gaul" (http://www.bartleby.com/65/ga/Gaul.html)
"In Roman gaul it often became customary to call the chief center of a tribe or the country around it by some form of the tribe's name. Many of these names survive today. The principal tribes of Gaul (with the modern survivals or locations were:
Abricanti (Avranches); Aedui; Allobroges; Ambiani (Amiens); Andecavi (Angers, Anjou); Atrebates (Arras); Baiocassi (Bayeux); Bellovaci (Beauvais); Biturgies (Bourges, Berry); Cadurci (Cahors, Quercy); Carnutes (Chartres); Catalauni (Châlons); Cenomani (Le Mans, Maine); Eburovici (Évreux); Helvetii; Lemovices (Limoges, Limousin); Lingones (Langres); Lexovii (Lisieux); Meldae (Meaux); Namnetes (Nantes); Nervii; Parisii (Paris); Petrocorii (Périgeuex, Périgord); Pictones or Pictavi (Poitiers, Poitou); Redones (Rennes, Breton Roazon); Remi (Reims); Ruteni (Rodez); Santones (Saintes); Senones (Sens); Sequani, in the Franche-Comté; Silvanecti (Senlis); Suessiones (Soissons); Treveri (Trier, French Trèves); Tricassi (Troyes); Turones (Tours, Touraine); Veneti (Vannes, Breton Gwened)."
Le Mans, which got its name from the Cenomani, is mentioend in Gregory of Tours (p. 157).
A search using google.com found the following site:
http://users.bart.nl/~roestb/franciscan/franautr.html, that listed "Richardus Cenomagus (Cenomani/Richard Le Mans, d. 1552/3 in Chartres)".
Trent - The online Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th Edition, says, under the heading "Trent" (http://www.bartleby.com/65/tr/Trent.html)
"Ital. Trento, Latin Tridentum, city (1991 pop. 101,545), capital of Trentino-Alto Adige and of Trent prov., N Italy, on the Adige River and on the road to the Brenner Pass. It is an industrial and tourist center. Manufactures include leather goods, machinery, metals, textiles, printed materials, and food products. Probably founded in the 4th cent. B.C., Trent was later the seat of a Lombard duchy (6th cent.) and of a Frankish march (8th cent.)"
Muriel - Withy, pg. 224 "probably of Celtic origin" ... "first found in Brittany and Normandy in the 11th C"
Giolla Comgaill - O'C&M (pp. 111-12) give a number of the names of the form, although not this particular one, of "Gilla [name]: Giolla [name]" meaning "servant of [name]" (generally that of a saint). The closest seems to be "Gilla Comaill: Giolla Chomhghaill" (meaning "servant of St. Comgall") and citing the 11th c. poet Gilla Comaill Ua Slébéne.
Comgaill - A 'modern' Gaelic spelling can be found in MacLysaght, pg. 62 (sn. Coyle). O'C&M, pg. 55, gives "Comgall", of which "Comgaill" is intended to be the genitive. It should be noted the submitter's mundane surname is Coil.
"Barry Or and azure, a cat sejant contourney coward sable."
Phillippa - Withycombe, pg. 245, gives "Philippa" and "Philippa", but no evidence for the "-ia" ending.

Rolland - Withycombe, pg. 256, dated from 1086, found under header form Roland
Hunter's Home - SCA branch name registered via East in Septmeber 1991.
"Per fess azure and vert, on a fess argent three hunting horns sable a canton Or."
"Or, a chevron inverted gules, in chief two hurts."
I was originally goign to return this as a violation of RfS, VIII.4.b. Modern Insignia - "Overt allusions to modern insignia, trademarks, or common designs may not be registered." However, one of my internal commenters found
Robert - Reaney & Wilson, pg. 380 (sn. Robert) This spelling dated to 1066 Withycombe, pg. 254, (sn. Robert), cites its use in England from the time of the Norman Conquest and dates the form "Robert(us)" to 1071-5 and to the Domesday Book, 1086.
Marston - Reaney & Wilson, pg. 300 (sn. Marston), <de Marston> dated to 1349. <Marsten> dated to 1565.
"Azure, a mullet of four points between four lozenges, a bordure argent."
I believe the submission is clear of Rivenstar, Barony of "Azure, a riven star argent" with one CD for the addition of an ordinary, one CD for the addition of secondary charges and possibly one CD for the difference between a mullet of four points and a riven star, whatever the latter may be.
"Argent, three trees eradicated sable." Her old device, also registered September 2000, "Argent, a dexter tierce purpure, a tree eradicated sable." is to be released if this passes.
"Sable, a compass star and on a chief rayonny Or, three roses gules."
She has permissions to conflict with her husband Robert of Hazeltine, "Sable, a compass star and on a chief rayonny Or, a sword sable." Due to a paperwork snafu, her letter of permission got separated from her original submission. I've included it now.
Sibán - early period form. O'C&M, pg. 165, (sn. Sibán) used 11th c. on
ingen - 'daughter of', I've changed it to the earlier spelling to make the name internally consistent on the advice of my internal commenters.
Ragnall - Viking name adopted in Ireland Ragnall Ua Dálaig died 1161 O'C&M, pg. 154, (sn. Ragnall)
