- JAMES BUCHANAN, the subject of this memoir, was married to Miss Jane Trimble before leaving the old country. Their first child was born at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and was known in after life as MAJOR JOHN BUCHANAN. They (James Buchanan and his wife Jane Trimble) also had two other sons, ALEXANDER and SAMUEL and two daughters, NANCY, who married James Mulheron, and Jane, who married James Todd. JAMES BUCHANAN was of a restless, adventurous disposition, greatly inclined to ramble. He moved from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to the colony of Carolina, and stopped at a point now known as Guilford Courthouse, Carolina. He remained there four years, then moved on through the western wilds and settled where the town of Danville, Kentucky, now stands in 1774. After staying there a few years he became incapacitated, through age and infirmity, to support and protect his family, which duty devolved upon his sons in after life.
ALEXANDER BUCHANAN, his second son [of James Buchanan], was killed by the Indians in Nashville in 1781 [s/b 1787]in an attack on the fort. James Buchanan, his father, after becoming old and helpless, was killed by the Indians in 1792 as he sat in his humble cabin on Mill Creek, Tennessee, near the fort or Buchanan station.
