About Robert Buchanan
Robert Buchanan's Revolutionary War Pension File and Application places him in northwestern Virginia when he joined the 8th Virginia Regiment where he served during the Revolutionary War, and was formed from soldiers located from Augusta, Berkeley, Culpeper, Dunmore, Fincastle, Frederick, and Hampshire Counties, plus the District of West Augusta. He is a possible son of Samuel Buchanan and Martha of Augusta County, although some researchers believe another Robert Buchanan may have been their son. Bible records exist that prove his marriage to Mary Jamison, all of their children and that published record is shown in the sources below. Additional research needed.
