Jim,
I copied your history of Capt. John Buchanan to his Person page from the family page...we had no history of him on his page...and someone looking at his page may only be researching him and not his wife side and they may miss all the great information you have given on him on the family page... --Dlbradley1 23:05, 9 March 2009 (EDT)
Possible Confusion [29 April 2009]
 I've taken a brief look at this information. As Don says, this is good stuff, and much of it clearly applies to John 75. However, I suspect that there's a confusion of some sort going on. The John BUchanan who died in 1806 may not be the same as the John Buchanan who moved from Borden's Grant to Locust Creek. The reason I'm wondering about that is that the article you pointed to (a personal website), noted a family tradition that he died as a result of wounds received at Guildford Courthouse in 1781. I don't know about that, but there was a John Buchanan in Montgomery County (which at one time would have included the Locust Cove Creek area, who is shown as dying c.1778. His son Andrew was listed as heir at law, indicating no other adult male heirs. This Andrew apparently moved to Bourbon County KY. Some of these details are in the Buchanan Notebok for SW VA. ----extracts from Summers 1929.
My current guess is that there are two John Buchanan's involved in the family history that's pointed to in that personal web site. ie, that they've mixed data from two separate persons.

I agree with you Bill we need to research this more and get some proof as to back up what we have...if it is wrong lets get it corrected....you are not going to hurt my feeling if you fine a mistake in some of my work...I welcome a correction if it can be backed up by reliable records....--Dlbradley1 22:07, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
- I've only partially completed the extraction of data out of Summers 1929, in the Buchanan Notebook for SW VA. Only some given names have been extracted, but that includes John. Hard to predict what more can be learned on this from Summers, but I suspect that most of what can be learned from that source, is already gotten. Kegley (particularly vol. 1) has MANY indexed reference to John Buchanan, but I suspect most point to Col. John, not Capt. John (or as Col John explicitly refers to him "John ye little" ---they were business partners, genealogical relationship as yet unknown). Perhaps something will turn up there. County Tax records may also reveal something.
in the meantime here's a map of Locust Cove Creek---which is where I presume "Little John" was living.
