This profile is part of the Buchanan Name Study.

I might have this all wrong. I am basing her marriage on the Clemens book , page 459, where it says: "Captain William Eccles Buchanan married, secondly, a sister of Andrew Buchanan, of Louisville, and George Buchanan, of St. Louis, Missouri... Andrew Buchanan, of Louisville, had a son George Coulter Buchanan, living, in 1900, in that place"

The people and locations match except for that the son's name was George Coalter Buchanan, but since George Coalter Buchanan was well known at the time, I was thinking it could be a typo.

Name: Mary Buchanan

But, now dates don't work out IF this is their son: Below is a possible child, BUT, that would make Mary 60 years old!

Ireland Births and Baptisms, 1620-1881

Of course, there are lots of Andrew and George Buchanans... so I will keep looking to see if I can find the right "Mary Buchanan" for this Captain.

"LATER LEAVES OF THE BUCHANAN BOOK BY PATRICK BUCHANAN, K.C. page 175 "The family of George L. Buchanan of Jeffer¬ sonville, Indiana, a descendant of Captain William Eccles Buchanan, R.A., of Fintona, County Tyrone, Ireland, who served in the Peninsular War and was present at the Battle of Waterloo, has an heirloom in the form of an Irish Harp. The account which follows appeared in the Dublin Evening Herald of September 12th, 1896."

“A FAMOUS IRISH HARP.” “Survives as an Heirloom in an Indian Home.” (a Jeffersonville, Indiana home) "..the family in or about the year 1640 left Stir¬ lingshire for Tyrone in the then new Plantation of Ulster. They had formed High Church, or, at all events, Episcopalian connections by marriage, and the Covenant was dominant in Stirlingshire. So the harp went back to the land of its birth — it was made in Dublin — and found a home at Fintona, county Tyrone, until some forty years ago. Then Mr. William Eccles Buchanan, its possessor, with his wife — also a Buchanan by birth — and several children crossed the Atlantic and settled at New Orleans. Finally, about the end of the war between North and South, Mr. Buchanan having died in the meanwhile, his widow and children again migrated, and the harp was taken to its present home.” (Jeffersonville, Indiana)
