Notes

Notes from Judge James Lincoln, 11/15/1999 after getting a copy of David Buchanan's will. ---- David Buchanan in his will, indicates that he left his wife in West Virginia and moved to Ashland, Ohio, in the latter part of his life. Maybe he wanted to be near son John Buchanan, father of Philura Buchanan Lincoln who would have been only 4 years old when David died in 1855. David was wealthy --- Board for Administration of will in Ohio - $30,000 security. His will had to be probated in Ashland County, Ohio and Washington County, PA, as he owned property in both states. Please note that David Buchanan left $1600 to his son, CUMMINS BUCHANAN. He must have been married to some one by the name of Cummins. Parents do not lay the first name of CUMMINS on a kid unless they have a CUMMINS in the family. CUMMINS BUCHANAN may be the only one of that name in the CUMMINS BUCHANAN history.

SOURCE: Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, PA. 1893, J. H. Beers & Co.,Chicago. (page 1392):

R. C. Buchanan, a well known citizen of Hopewell township, was born in 1864 in Indedpendence township, this county. He is a grandson of David, whose father was Samuel Buchanan. The latter came with his wife and son, John, from Lancaster Co. PA, to Independence township, this county, in 1783, and on April 19,1785, purchased 300 acres of land on "Worley's Run" of Joseph Worley, who returned to the East. After settling in Independence township, three sons were born to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Buchanan, namely: William, Samuel and David, all of whom remained in Independence township. John took the tract of 2xx acres (adjoining the farms of Henry Levens and John and Philip Doddridge) and died upon this farm; Samuel died about 1804 on the old homestead; William settled in Zanesville, Ohio, where he died. David Buchanan settled on a part of the old homestead on which he built a tannery in 1810, but on account of a fatal accident in which a son was drowned in the vat, he gave up the business in 1817. His son, David, afterwards inherited the old Buchanan farm, now occupied by John McAllister.

LURA COOK'S NOTES-Birth date is noted as 1780 (instead of 1785); Death date is given as Dec. 6, 1855 (instead of April 6, 1855). I have not been able to confirm either date as of 3/11/2001.
