  • THE BUCHANANS OF CARBETH.1
• I. THOMAS BUCHANAN of Carbeth, the first of this family, was a younger son of Thomas Buchanan of Gartincaber and Drummikill.2 He had a conveyance of the lands of Carbeth from his father, 31st May 1482, and died before 1493. He had two sons; (1) Thomas, who succeeded him; and (2) John, in Easter Ballat, whose son Thomas succeeded his uncle.
• II. THOMAS BUCHANAN of Carbeth succeeded to the lands of Carbeth on the death of his father, and to the Temple lands of Letter and Boquhanbeg, 10th June 1493, on the resignation of John Buchanan of Camoquhill.3 Auchmar says,4 "He seems to have lived a considerable time." This is no doubt true, as he must have been over eighty when he died. Auchmar states that he died without issue, but it appears from the Dunbarton Records that he had a son John-"Johan. boquhannan filius et heres appar. honesti viri Thome boquhannan de Carbeth," 6th October 1527.5 This John must have died before his father, without issue. Thomas Buchanan of Carbeth was dead before 1555.
• III. THOMAS BUCHANAN of Carbeth, as son and heir to the deceased John Buchanan in Easter Ballat, and as nearest heir to his uncle, Thomas Buchanan of Carbeth, had in 1555 a charter from John Haldane of Gleneagles in favour of himself and Janet Buchanan, his spouse, in liferent, and Thomas Buchanan, his son, in fee of the lands of Carbeth.6 In the same year he had a charter of the Temple lands of Letter to himself in liferent, and to Thomas Buchanan, his son and apparent heir, heritably.7 He married, first, a daughter of the laird

He had two sons : (1) George, his successor; and (2) Walter, who left no male issue.4

Biography

The Rohlfing-Spurgeon Family Tree says:

John BUCHANAN b: 1614 in Blairlusk, Stirlingshire, Scotland 2. William BUCHANAN 3. George BUCHANAN 4. Thomas BUCHANAN Note by Chet Snow, Feb 3, 2014: Alternate birth years are: 1570, 1572, 1585, 1586. May 1578 (the only date found with a month) seems the best fit for a first marriage in 1599 to Eliz. Leckie; they had 4 sons between 1600 and 1625 and 1 dgr who died at birth. George also has alternate death dates of 1625, 1629, 1660 and about 1700. 1660 seems the most logical as George's last child was born in 1660 by his 2nd wife: Eliz. UNKNOWN.
