| Thomas Buchanan is an ancestor of a US President/Vice President Join: US Presidents Project Discuss: Presidents |
This person is an ancestor of President James Buchanan, Jr.[1]
No sources exist to prove who and when Thomas Buchanan married. However, it is believed that he had a son that was the father of John Buchanan, the Paternal Grandfather of President James Buchanan, Jr.[2]
However , the SOLID ANCESTRY of the United States President,James Buchanan, has not been sufficiently sourced. The two main sources for Presidential Ancestries [3] and the most modern one published in 2009[4] even differ on his ancestry. What is certain is that he came from a Buchanan family that originated in Tyrone ( probably Blairlusk and Derorane) . The pedigree in Tyrone stems from a George Buchanan of Doune, Stirling, Scotland, specifically at Gartincaber.
