John was born at Corskelly and baptised at Lonmay on 12 August 1785. He was the son of Peter Buchan and Isabella Strachan.[1]
"August 12th 1785... Peter Buchan (Baloan) in Corskillie had a son baptised named John..."
John's parents later baptised another child as John Buchan (1802-1889), suggesting that this John died at an early age.
