General Notes: Husband - Thomas Buchanan


After their marriage he and his wife settled on a farm later owned by their son James S., and followed farming and wool growing. He was extensively engaged in raising sheep, making a large profit from the busi­ness. In politics he opposed slavery, voted the Democratic ticket, and served the county as super­visor of the poor. They were formerly members of the Seceder (now U. P.) Church at Hickory, afterward uniting with the North Buffalo U. P. Church.
