The will of Samuel lists his sons: John, Samuel, Andrew, and Robert. It also lists his wife, Martha. His will is attached as a source.



Samuel Buchanan was also interested in the affairs of the community. He is mentioned as witness to wills and deeds in a number of instances. He also was called to appraise the property of his neighbors. He bought land from John Buchanan of Reed Creek in 1756, paying 132 pounds for 393 acres. There is a record of a deed of land in Fincastle in 1774 to Samuel Buchanan. This land is described as lying North of the South fork of the Holston. In his will he mentioned only his wife, Martha, and three sons; however, he had five sons. They were Andrew, Robert, Samuel, John and Moses.

Andrew Buchanan, one of the sons of Samuel (probably one of the older sons), married Joanna Hay while living in Augusta County. She was the daughter of Patrick Hay.

There was a Patrick Hay in Orange County on May 22, 1740. He, accompanied by his six children, Frances, Joan, William, Margaret, Catherine and Ruth, came up to prove their importation in order to obtain their head rights to lands on that date. Augusta County was then a part of Orange. It is probable that the wife of Andrew Buchanan was the Joan mentioned above.

Andrew Buchanan served in the Augusta Militia 1756-1763. He was appointed processioner 18 March 1768. He owned land which was processioned. He purchased land from William Edmondson in Washington County, while still a part of Fincastle County. His brothers, Robert, Moses and Samuel, Jr., bought land described in the same manner.

Andrew Buchanan died in Washington County in 1794. His will was dated Oct. 13, 1793. He left his estate to Joanna, his wife, and to his children: David, John, Joseph, Margaret, Eleanor, Hannah and Matthew

One tract of his land was sold to Samuel Buchanan - 109 acres for 100 pounds, another tract to Matthew Buchanan, 215 acres for $1066.67. Matthew Buchanan, son of Andrew and Joanna Buchanan, married Elizabeth Edmondson, daughter of William Edmondson and Agnes Holmes. They had ten children who bore the following names: (1) Andrew married Miss White; (2) William married Joan Keys; (3) Samuel married Jane Edmondson; (4) Nancy married William Parks; (5) Joanna married Moses Edmondson; (6) Janet married James Edmondson; (7) Isabella married William Graham; (8) Martha married John Keys; (9) Margaret married Robert Keys.
