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 busi-ness. In politics he opposed slavery, voted the Democratic ticket, and served the county as super-visor 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.
After he completed his school attendance, he learned the carpenter trade and followed it for several years. He acquired hundreds of acres of land and became an extensive farmer and stock raiser and bought and sold wool. He and wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church at Hickory. In politics he was a Democrat.
