Biography

Cumberland Presbyterian Minister

Andrew J Buchanan married Sinai Harreld (b 1797, KY; d Feb 17 1893) in 1828.

" Andrew and John Buchanan were ministers in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The former (Andrew), familiarly known as “Uncle Buck,” located at Prairie Grove, where his step-son, Col. James P. Neal, now lives. He died in 1857."^[1]

Col. James P. Neal, one of the old residents of Washington County, Ark., who is now retired from active business life, was born in Butler County, Ky., March 24, 1820, and is a son of William Neal, and a grandson of Thomas Neal. The latter was a Virginian, whose ancestors were Irish, and one of the early settlers of Kentucky, in which State William Neal was born, reared and married. His wife's maiden name was Sinai Harreld, whose parents were also Virginians, of English ancestry. After Mr. Neal's death, which occurred when James P. was a child, she married again, and in 1829 moved to Arkansas with her husband, Rev. Andrew Buchanan, a minister of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, locating on the land on which the Colonel now resides.^[2]

There is no information about children; however, in Andrew's will, (attached in pdf file), he leaves his estate to his wife, Sinai, and upon her death, the estate falls to his SERVANTS Issac and Rebecca. Upon the death of his servants, his property goes to the Cane Hill Collegiate Institute so long as said institute continues to be the property of the C.P. Church .
