Footnotes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Summers does not state how he knows this to be true. Data on the history of the Seventh Virginia Continental is needed to confirm that this unit came from Fincastle, and that John Buchanan of Fincastle was killed while in service in 1777. We know that some members of the Fincastle community did serve in the Virginia line. Gen. William Campbell and William Russel, being instances that come to mind.

    An ephemeral site gives the following, without sourceing it:

    Buchanan, John (Va). 2d Lieutenant 7th Virginia, 4th April, 1776; 1st Lieutenant, 13th December, 1776; died 11th October, 1777, of wounds received at Germantown, 4th October, 1777.

    This is presumably the same person that Summers was referring to. While there were certainly persons from Fincastle County in this particular regiment, there were a substantial number of other counties represented as well. Whether the John BUchanan who died of wounds received at Germantown came from Fincastle or not, remains to be seen.
