1. George1 Buchanan, son of William Buchanan, was born Romelt, County Donegal, Ireland 1721. George died 1818 in Jefferson Co., IN, at 97 years of age. His body was interred in Jefferson Co., IN.
He married twice. He married Esther Campbell in Ireland, ca 1763. Esther died ca 1773 in Ireland. Esther became the mother of Mary Buchanan in Ireland, March 15, 1764. Esther became the mother of William Buchanan in Ireland, 1771. Esther became the mother of Margaret Buchanan in Ireland, 1771. He married unknown ca 1774. Unknown became the mother of Wilson Buchanan in New York, 1775. Unknown became the mother of John Buchanan ca 1779. Unknown became the mother of Martha Buchanan 1781. Unknown became the mother of David Buchanan in PA, 1786.
At 42 years of age George became the father of Mary Buchanan in Ireland, March 15, 1764. At 50 years of age George became the father of William Buchanan in Ireland, 1771. At 50 years of age George became the father of Margaret Buchanan in Ireland, 1771. At 54 years of age George became the father of Wilson Buchanan in New York, 1775. George became the father of John Buchanan ca 1779. At 60 years of age George became the father of Martha Buchanan 1781. At 65 years of age George became the father of David Buchanan in PA, 1786. George Buchanan was born in County Donegal, Ireland about 1721. He married Esther Campbell in Ireland where she died according to unproved family tradition which we accept herein. He immigrated to York County, Pennsylvania with his children about 1774. He remarried probably about 1774 and had more children. The name of his second wife is not known. In 1790 he moved to Kentucky from Fayette County, Pennsylvania. He is listed in the tax list for Woodford County, Kentucky in 1792, 1793, 1794, and 1795. He moved to Jefferson County, Indiana in 1813 where he died in 1818. He served as a Private in the 5th Pennsylvania Continental Line in the Revolutionary War. Some information about George Buchanan appears in the Biographies Forum of the Ripley County, Indiana USGenWeb project and the author is Bob Scott: George Buchanan, who came to Jefferson or Ripley Co., Ind., is the ancestor of hundreds and probably thousands of Southern Indiana residents. The DAR says that George came from York Co., Pa., and that he lived 1721-1818, married Esther Campbell and served in the Fourth Pennsylvania Continental line in the Revolutionary War. All of these facts might be true. But none are proven.
There is no documentation of where he was born, his age, when or who he married or where he lived. No one has identified George on any tax list or deeds. He could have been born in Ramelton, Donegal Co., Ireland, or in Pennsylvania. Research regarding his ancestry or siblings has been complicated by bogus family trees generated in the 1930s over the fraudulent "Buchanan Estate" in which many Buchanans were convinced they might be heirs to a great fortune.
A 1910 account by a grandson, named George W. Buchanan, states that George lived to be 102 years old and that "grandmother" lived to be 101 and that they are buried in the McLaughlin Cemetery near Buchanan Station in Brown Township, Ripley Co. And while the 1850 Indiana census shows that two of George's children were born in Pennsylvania, it also shows that son Wilson Buchanan was born about 1775 in New York.
There are no deeds for this family in Cumberland, Huntingdon, Bedford Co. or Westmoreland Counties, Pa. Son-in-law George Benefiel served in the Revolutionary War from Cumberland Co., but lived in modern Franklin Co. A George Buchanan, who owned land in Fannett Township in Franklin Co. 1778-1781, might be our George.
Most records say that George Buchanan married Esther Campbell. There is at least circumstantial evidence for this marriage. Daughter Mary Buchanan Benefiel had a daughter, Esther Campbell Benefiel.
The family lived in Westmoreland Co., Pa., after the Revolution and moved to the Paris, Ky., area about 1790, according to the biography of grandson Jacob Buchanan. The earliest reliable record of the family in Kentucky comes on 28 Jan. 1795 when George's son Wilson Buchanan married in Bourbon Co. Son William Buchanan may be the William on the 1795 Scott Co. tax list as George Benefiel is on that same list. An earlier record is that of Hugh Cowen who married Mary or Margaret Buchanan on 9 Oct. 1794 in Bourbon Co. Transcriptions differ and the original bond has not been found.
George and his four sons appear on no Bourbon tax lists (although the Benefiels and McLaughlins appear there.) There are no Bourbon deeds for any members of the family except the McLaughlins. There is a George Buchanan, who could be our man, and a John Buchanan on Woodford Co. tax lists 1792-1795, but there are no Buchanan deeds in Woodford Co.
Son Wilson Buchanan appears on the Franklin Co. tax list of 22 March 1797. All four Buchanan brothers, William, Wilson, John and David, along with brother-in-law Hugh Cowen, appear Aug. 10 1801 on the Franklin Co. tax list, living on Benson Creek. But no Franklin Co. deeds involve this family.
Illinois researchers say that about 1800 the Buchanans moved to a place 20 miles upstream from Madison on the Ohio River. This is consistent with Federal land records that show that John Buchanan bought land on 10 Sept.1804 near the site of modern Florence, Switzerland Co.
In 1807, Wilson and John Buchanan are listed on the territorial census for Dearborn Co., which then included Switzerland Co. The family probably moved to the border of Jefferson and Ripley Co. about Aug. 25,1809 when John Buchanan purchased the SE1/4 Section 34 Twp. 6N Range 11E and the SW1/4 Section 25 in what became Brown Township.
The 1910 Madison Courier article gives the best authority for George's family: George W. Buchanan listed his uncles, John and William Buchanan. George W. also listed Uncle George Benefiel, Uncle George McLaughlin and cousin William McLaughlin.
Another element in Buchanan history is the Buchanan Station, the blockhouse, that the family is reported to have erected on its land because of Indian trouble. The date of its construction is usually given as occurring 1813 in Brown Twp., Ripley Co., not far from the Jefferson Co. border. However, the 1860s, Perret Dufour reports orders given to David Hillis, whose militia company was charged marching with constructing the block house that became known as Buchanan station. Hillis' orders were dated May 10, 1812. Dufour said that Hillis constructed the fort without delay.
All branches of the family maintain the tradition that George was a Revolutionary War soldier. The DAR lists George's service in the Fourth Pennsylvania 1778-1781 and cites the Pennsylvania Archives as proof. But the Archives only show that A George Buchanan served in that unit. No age or town is given. Federal records show that in 1786 an Ezekiel and Elizabeth Buchanan were paid for services of George Buchanan in the Fourth in Pennsylvania. They were paid with interest accuring from Jan. 1, 1781. Why were these two people paid and not the soldier? I can only conclude that these two were heirs of a man who died by 1786.
Children of George Buchanan 1. Mary Buchanan 19 March 1764-21 May 1857 died in Jefferson Co., Ind., and is buried in the Jefferson Church Cem., along with her husband, George Eli Benefiel 25 Dec. 1759-1 April 1832. The family moved to Indiana shortly after daughter Esther married Robert McLelland on 3 January 1814 in Clark Co., Ky. 2. Margaret Buchanan 1771-1837. Dates are from the DAR. She is probably the Margaret Buchanan (some transcriptions say Mary) who married Hugh Cowen on 9 Oct. 1794 in Bourbon Co. 3. William Buchanan 1771-Feb. 1845 He is buried in a small family cemetery several hundred feet west of Buchanan Station. His stone was moved to the Buchanan family cemetery opposite the recreated fort sometime between 1972 and 1984. William was married before 1796, probably in Kentucky, as his oldest son, William H. Buchanan was born that year. He may have been the William who married Fanny Buchanan in 29 May 1801 in Franklin Co., Ky. He is probably the William who married Catherine Yount 1813 in Jefferson Co. William's estate was probated in Ripley Co. His widow, Elizabeth's (Elizabeth, perhaps Catherine Elizabeth Yount?) estate in Jefferson. 4. Wilson Buchanan 1774/75-19 April 1851 Buried in the Buchanan Cemetery, Wilson married Rebecca Lockridge in 1795 in Bourbon Co., Ky. Wilson probably married Hannah Ricketts, 1790-13 Feb. 1853 in Dearborn Co., Ind., in 1809. However, Dearborn records were destroyed by fire in 1826. 5. John Buchanan 1779-6 May 1847, buried Old Bethel Cem., Craig Twp., Switzerland Co. He left a will in Switzerland Co. John had a first marriage, possibly to Tabitha Freeman. John married 2nd on 6 May 1813 in Jefferson Co., Rachel Short. 6. Martha E. Buchanan 1780-16 Nov. 1833 She m. George McLaughlin 29 Dec. 1773-5 April 1846. Both buried in McLaughlin Cem. west of the fort, but the stones were removed to the Buchanan family cemetery between 1972 and 1984. 7. David Buchanan b. 1785/86 in Pennsylvania, probably died by 1860. According to the 1850 census in Brown Twp., he was age 64, born in Pennsylvania. His first marrige has not been discovered, but three of his children were born before 1814 when he married Nancy Buchanan, 1786/87-after 1880. Her relationship, if any, is unknown. 8. George Buchanan. Stayed in Pennsylvania, unmarried, according to Illinois family researchers. 9. Jane Buchanan m _______ Read, mother of poet Thomas Buchanan Read. This daughter is also listed by Illinois family researchers.

William Buchanan was born in Ireland 1771. William died February 1845 at 73 years of age. His body
was interred in Buchanan cemetery, Ripley Co., IN. He married twice. He married Elizabeth Barker
ca 1795. He married Catherine Yount in Jefferson Co., IN, 1813. His biogrpahy written by Bob Scott
found on the Biographies Forum of the Ripley County, Indiana USGenWeb site: William BUCHANAN was a pioneering farmer, who came to the border
area of Jefferson and Ripley Counties in 1809. He was one of four sons of Rev. War Soldier George BUCHANAN. William died in February 1845,
aged 73 years 11 months, according to his tombstone. He is buried in a small family cemetery several hundred feet southwest of Buchanan
Station. However, his tombstone and one for a granddaughter were moved to the nearby Buchanan Family Cemetery between 1972 and 1984. It is
likely that he is the William BUCHANAN who is on the 1795 tax list for Scott Co., Ky. Brother-in-law George BENEFIEL is also on that list.
William was married before1796 as his oldest son, William H. Buchanan, was born in Kentucky that year. He may have been the William who
married Fanny Buchanan in 1801 in Franklin Co., Ky. Two Wilson Buchanans are listed 22 May 1797 on the Woodford Co., tax list, but this
probably should have been William and Wilson. In 1801, William and his three brothers are all listed on the Franklin Co. tax list with
William owning three horses. The four disappear from Kentucky records by 1802 and had probably moved to the area of modern Florence,
Switzerland Co., where brother John purchased land in 1804. John then purchased land in Ripley Co. on the Jefferson Co., border in 1809.
William and brother Wilson were fined in Jefferson Co. for assaults occurring in that county in 1812. William then purchased 60 acres in
Section 34 Twp. 6N Range 11E in Ripley Co. from brother John on 25 Feb. 1819. His marriages have not been resolved. A William Buchanan,
presumably this one, married Catherine Yount 1813 in Jefferson Co. However, William's widow as listed in Ripley Co. probate records is
listed in Elizabeth and her probate record in 1848 in Jefferson Co. lists the same five children. One record says that William married
Elizabeth Barber, but offers no proof. The Yount family, of German origin, may have followed the German custom in children had a saints name
as first name and a middle name for everyday use. So his widow may have been Catherine Elizabeth YOUNT. The probate of William's estate in
Ripley Co. includes a map that shows the division of his land. His estate was probated in Ripley Co.; his widow's will was probated in 1848
in Jefferson. Both estates name the same six children.
Children of William Buchanan 1. WILLIAM H. BUCHANAN 22 Aug. 1796-8 May 1877, buried Jefferson Church Cem. He was born in Kentucky according to the 1850 census. He m. 1st Jane Buchanan, his cousin, on 24 Mar. 1819 in Ripley Co. She lived 21 Sept. 1802-21 Feb. 1833 He m. 2nd on 10 Oct. 1833 in Ripley Co., Nancy O'Neill 25 Nov. 1816/17-28 Dec. 1862, buried Jefferson Church. William owned land in the Barbersville area in Jefferson Co. 2. MARGARET BUCHANAN ca. 1801-ca. 1886 (age 49, 185 census) She m. 15 Dec. 1825 in Ripley Co., William Cowen, ca. 1801-18 Oct. 1882 They lived 1850 Brown Twp., 1860 Otter Creek Twp. In 1880 both were listed in the Ripley Co. infirmary. 3. ELIZABETH BUCHANAN 31 July 1810-27 Feb. 1889 She m. John Cowen March 1807-27 Jan. 1887, born Bourbon Co., died Wells Twp., Rice Co., Minn., both buried Maple Lawn Cem., Faribault, Minn. His biography in the History of Rice Co., published in 1882, gives birth dates. It says he came to Indiana in 1833, so he may not be William Cowen's brother. The family lived in winter of 1854/55 in Des Moines Co., Iowa, then moved to Minnesota. They lived 1870 Wells Twp. Rice Co., Minn 4. MARY BUCHANAN 1814-18 Mar. 1841, buried Jefferson Church Cem. She m. 27 Aug. 1835 in Ripley Co., Robert Means He lived 1850 Brown Twp. (age 36) His second wife was named Elizabeth. This is probably Elizabeth Bales. She and Robert received a license in Jefferson Co. on 21 Apr. 1842. 5. MARTHA BUCHANAN died May 1847 She m. 23 Sept. 1826 in Ripley Co., John Hamilton, who died in May 1846. He was clerk and recorder in Jackson Co., Ind. 6. NANCY BUCHANAN b. 1815/16 She m. 15 Nov. 1834 in Ripley Co., William Shepherd. They lived 1850 Shelby Twp., Ripley Co. A group of minor heirs of a Nancy Shepherd are listed 8 Sept. 1876 in Ripley Co. This Nancy owned land in NE1/4 NE/14 Section 15 Twp. 6N Range 12E.

Wilson Buchanan was born in New York 1775. Wilson died April 19, 1851 in IN, at 75 years of age.
His body was interred in Buchanan cemetery, Ripley Co., IN. He married twice. He married
Hannah Kelso. He married Rebecca Lockridge in Bourbon Co., KY, 1795. His biography written
by Bob Scott taken from the Biographies Forum of the Ripley County, Indiana USGenWeb site: Wilson Buchanan, 1774/75-19 April 1851 (age 76),
was one of four pioneering brothers who came to the border area of Ripley Co. and Jefferson Co., Ind., in 1809, and who lent their family
name to a fort built in Brown Township Ripley Co. Wilson was born in New York, according to the 1850 Brown Twp. Census. Otherwise, his
earliest official record comes on 28 Jan. 1795 when he signed a marriage bond in Bourbon Co., Ky., for his marriage to Rebecca Lockridge
(Lauherage on the bond.)
Wilson next appears on 22 March 1797 in the Woodford Co., Ky., tax list and then 1801 in Franklin Co. Wilson and his three brothers vanish from Kentucky records in 1802. They probably moved to the area near modern Florence, Switzerland Co., where brother John purchased government land in 1804. Wilson is recorded in 1807 in the territorial census for Dearborn Co., which then included Switzerland Co.
Wilson probably married Hannah Ricketts, 1790-13 Feb. 1853 in Dearborn Co., Ind., in 1809. However, Dearborn records were destroyed by fire in 1826. This marriage is proved by the probate the estate of Hannah's father, Robert Ricketts, in Ohio Co., Ind.
The brothers probably moved to Ripley Co. when John Buchanan purchased land on Aug. 25, 1809. in the SE1/4 Section 34 Twp. 6N Range 11E. This land is in Brown Twp. and borders Shelby Twp., Jefferson Co. Wilson purchased this land from John on Feb. 27, 1819. Wilson purchased additional tracts from the government in both counties. In 1812, Wilson and brother William were fined for assaults tht occurred in what was then Jefferson Co. In 1819, Wilson also served the first grand jury in Ripley Co.
Wilson's land became the site of a fort built in 1812 because of Indian troubles. Although modern accounts usually state the fort was built in May 1813, this appears to be in error. Perret Dufour, writing in the 1870s, reported that Lt. Col. David Hillis ordered Elisha Golay to build a block house on the north line of Jefferson Co. This order was given on May 15, 1812. Golay was ordered to proceed without delay, according to Dufour, who wrote that this blockhouse was known as Buchanan's Station.
Although he did not leave a will, Wilson's children are documented. Three died young: Robert, Vienna and Rebecca. These were recorded in Jefferson Co. cemetery records by Mary Hill with the inscriptions showing all three as children of W&H Buchanan. An estate settlement in Ripley Co. (Complete Record G p. 435) on 28 Jan. 1854 lists 11 surviving heirs; and the surviving grandchildren of the three deceased children.
While most of the surviving children are called heirs, not children, the equal division of the estate should be considered proof that they were children. The three deceased heirs, William Buchanan, Patsy Hankins, Sarah Favors, are specifically called children of Wilson Buchanan, the three deceased children are specifically cited as children of Wilson.
The probate of Robert Ricketts' estate in Ohio Co., Ind., proves that nine of Wilson's 14 children who survived to adulthood were by Hannah. Eight are listed in the probate record, while on Feb. 24, 1855, the ninth, David Buchanan, sold a lot of Ricketts' land that had been set off in a lottery to the heirs.
Children of Wilson Buchanan and Rebecca Lockridge 1. John Henry Buchanan b. 1795/96 (aged 54 in 1850, twin?) He married 14 Sept. 1825 in Ripley Co., Octavia Tabitha Schaffer. They lived 1850 in Gallatin Co., Ky. John died by 1860 as Tabitha and her children had moved to Otter Creek Twp., Ripley Co. 2. Mary (Polly) Buchanan b. 1795/96 (aged 54 in 1850, twin?) She m. 9 July 1818 in Jefferson Co., Stephen Washer. He is listed 1850 in a separate household in Milton Twp., while she is listed in the home of her son, Solomon Washer. 3. Sarah Buchanan, probably born 1799/1800, died 1831-1839. She m. 30 Sept. 1819 in Jefferson Co., Thomas Favors. She is listed as a deceased daughter in Wilson's estate settlement. 4. William Buchanan 1801-1833 Buried in the Buchanan cemetery. He married in 1824 in Jefferson Co., Edna Hankins, ca. 1800-1870/80. He is listed as Wilson's deceased son.

There is no record of their marriage, but it is proven by the settlement of Wilson's estate in probate court in Ripley Co. and through deeds settling Joseph Hankins' estate in Jefferson Co. in 1836 as well as by death records of some of their children. 7. Susannah Buchanan 26 Nov. 1811-26 Nov. 1882. Born in Indiana, she died in Ripley Co. She married 1st 1831 in Ripley Co., Andrew G. Risk 22 Sept. 1810-2 Dec. 1842.

John Buchanan was born ca 1779. John died May 6, 1847 Switzerland Co., IN, at 67 years of age. His
body was interred in Old Bethel Cemetery, Switzerland Co., IN. He married twice. He married Eliza
Short. He married Rachel Short in Jefferson Co., IN, May 6, 1813. It could be that Rachel Short
and Eliza Short, wives of John Buchanan, are the same person. His biography written by Bob Scott found on the Biographies Forum of the
Ripley County, Indiana USGenWeb site: John Buchanan ca 1779-6 May 1847, farmer and merchant, was one of the earliest land purchasers in
Switzerland Co. and patented the first tract in Ripley Co.
The son of Revolutionary War Soldier George Buchanan, John was probably born in central Pennsylvania; moved with his family to Westmoreland Co., Pa., after the revolution and then to the Blue Grass Region of Kentucky about 1790. John's first record comes in 1801 when he and three brothers lived on Benson Creek in Franklin Co., Ky. The four brothers probably moved to Indiana in 1802. John Buchanan of Dearborn Co., Ind., along with partner William Phillips, purchased several hundred acres in September 1804 near modern Florence, Switzerland Co., Ind. John and wife, Rachel, then living in Jefferson Co., sold this tract in 1815.
John is listed in the 1807 Indiana territorial census in Dearborn Co., and voted in an 1809 Dearborn Co. election. Next, John purchased two quarter sections in what is now Brown Township, Ripley Co. on the Jefferson Co. border on Aug. 25, 1809. On Sept. 5, 1815, John purchased land from his father-in-law, Jacob Short, on the Indian-Kentuck Creek, just downstream from Manville in Milton Twp., Jefferson Co.
John's movements have not been completely determined, but are suggested by the marriages of his daughters. Until 1940, Indiana law required marriages to occur in the county of the bride's residence. His daughters were married as follows: Nancy, 1816 in Jefferson Co; Dorcas/Tolitha, 1822, Switzerland Co.; Elizabeth, 1831, Decatur Co.; Eliza, 1832, Switzerland Co. Two other children, son, Wilson, and daughter, Nancy Short, are both buried near Greensburg.
Whatever the involvement in Decatur Co., residence there was brief. John and Rachel Buchanan were members of the Manville Christian Church in Milton Township, by 1836. They moved to Craig Township, Switzerland Co. about the time he purchased land and property on the road from Port William (Carrollton, Ky.) to Versailles on 17 Dec. 1838. This purchase included two stores and inventory. Rachel appears a membership of the Braytown Christian Church founded about this time.
John's first marriage is often listed as being to Tabitha Freeman. John is named as a son-in-law in will of Elisha Freeman, recorded in Hardin Co., Ky., and also in Jefferson Co., Ind., on 10 April 1818. The will does not give the daughter's first name. But since Freeman lived in Lincoln and Garrard Counties, and this group of Buchanans did not, the will may refer to another John Buchanan.
John's marriage to Rachel Short on 6 May 1813 in Jefferson Co. John and his inlaws, Jacob and Elizabeth Short, are all buried in the Old Bethel Cemetery in Craig Township. Old Bethel was a Baptist Church that was vanished before the formation of nearby Spring Branch Church formed in 1853. Rachel lived 1850 in Craig Township with her father, Jacob Short, in her household. She bequeathed her entire property for the education of youngest son, George A. Buchanan, at Bethany College in Virginia. John's will in Switzerland Co. favors children of the second marriage.
Children of John Buchanan and Tabitha Freeman (?) 1. Martha Buchanan b. 1792/93 (age 57 1850 census) She m. 8 July 1819 in Jefferson Co., George Henry. Family lived 1850 in Brown Co., Ind. Her age in 1850 must have been copied wrong or this is the wrong couple. John would have been about 13 in 1792. 2. Wilson Buchanan 1795-25 July 1833 He m. 9 Jan. 1817 in Jefferson Co,. Zellah Forester, died 23 June 1843, both buried Star Baptist Church Cem., Greensburg. 3. Nancy Buchanan ca. 20 Dec. 1799-17 Nov. 1855, buried Star Baptist Church Greensburg, Ind.

Martha Buchanan was born 1781. Martha died November 16, 1833 in IN, at 52 years of age. Her body
was interred in McLaughlin family cemetery, Ripley Co., IN. She married George McLaughlin ca 1797.
George was born December 29, 1773. George died April 5, 1846 in IN, at 72 years of age. His body was interred in
McLaughlin family cemetery, Ripley Co., IN. His biography written by Bob Scott and found on the Biographies Forum of the Ripley
County, Indiana USGenWeb site: George McLAUGHLIN, 29 Dec. 1773-5 April 1846, was a pioneer farmer in Ripley and Jefferson Cos., who married
into the well-known Buchanan family. He married Martha BUCHANAN 1780-16 Nov. 1833 (died in her 53rd year.) Both were buried in the family
cemetery in Brown Township, very near the Jefferson County line. Their stones were removed to Buchanan Cemetery in Brown Township across the
road from the site of Buchanans Station between 1972 and 1984.
Their marriage record has not been found, but a 1910 interview with their nephew George Buchanan refers to Uncle George McLaughlin, and cousin, William McLaughlin. DAR records call her Hettie or Harriet, while some other histories say Rebecca. The name on the tombstone is Martha, while one Bourbon Co., Ky. deed clearly calls her Martha E. McLaughlin. There are no records for Harriet or Rebecca McLaughlin in either Ripley or Jefferson Co.
George, if the same, first appears in Bourbon Co., in the will of his father, James McLaughlin, written 14 March 1791. George was named as James' executor.
George and Martha's names appear on a deed dated 21 March 1817 in Bourbon Co. when they sold 2.5 acres on Houston's Creek to Ovid Boone, who sold them the same amount of land the same day, apparently a swap. This is important because a deed from John and Mary Grant of Woodford Co. to James McLaughlin of Bourbon Co. on 18 Jan. 1791 for 8 acres mentions Ovid Boone as owning neighboring land.
Their next movements are varied if judged by marriage records. If marriages were performed in the county of the bride's residence, the McLaughlins moved from Bourbon Co., to Louisville, to Bourbon to Louisville and back to Bourbon in the 1820s. Moreover, one or two McLaughlin children may have been married in Hamilton Co., Ohio, judging from births in those families. These movements have not been explained.
Back in Bourbon Co., the McLaughlins sold 70 acres 2 rods, 27 poles of land on the North Elkhorn to John Kerr for $837 on 5 April 1830. Martha is listed as Martha E. on the deed dated 1 Nov. 1830 when they sold 1.5 acres on Huston's Creek to the heirs on John Beatty. George had already purchased his first 160 acres of land in Jefferson Co. on 27 April 1830 in Section 3 Twp. 5N Range 11E, land bordering two brothers-in-law George Benefiel and Wilson Buchanan. He added 270 acres in three more purchases in Ripley Co.
In 1845, George served as executor for son James' estate in Ripley Co., but this action was cut short by his own death. George's estate was probated in Ripley, with heirs listed, but most of the settlement came through deeds in Jefferson Co. in the 1850s.

David Buchanan was born in PA 1786. David died ca 1855. He married twice. He
married unknown ca 1808. He married Nancy Buchanan 1814. Nancy was born ca 1786. Nancy
died after 1880. His biography written by Bob Scott taken from the Biographies Forum of the Ripley County, Indiana USGenWeb site: David
BUCHANAN in one of four pioneering brothers who came to the border of Jefferson and Ripley Counties in 1809 and whose family name is linked
to Buchanan Station, the fort built in Brown Twp. Less is known about David than his brothers Wilson, who lived in Brown Twp., William, who
lived in Shelby Twp., Jefferson Co., and John, who lived in Decatur, Jefferson, and Switzerland Cos. The four were sons of Revolutionary War
soldier George BUCHANAN. John purchased land on the county border in 1809 and sold sections to his brothers.
David was born about 1785/86 in Pennsylvania. This is based in the 1850 census for Brown Twp., which lists his age as 64. However, the DAR has historically listed him as born about 1777. Although the 1830 and 1840 censuses do not list ages, they show the oldest male in David's household as being younger than the oldest male in his brother's household by one age category, consistent with the age given in the 1850 census. He died by 1860 and Violet Toph's cemetery transcriptions speculate that a stone marked "D.B" in Salem Cemetery in Brown Twp. is the soldier's stone.
Given the age of his children, David had a first marriage, which has not yet been discovered. In 1814, he married Nancy BUCHANAN in Jefferson Co. Her relationship, if any, is unknown. Some descendants report she is daughter of an Alexander BUCHANAN, but proof has not been supplied to this writer. Nancy was born 1786/87 according to her age in the 1850 census. She was alive in 1880 Brown Twp., age 96, (hence born 1773/74 by this report) born Virginia. She living with George W. Buchanan, who was son of Joshua BUCHANAN, born ca. 1802. Joshua was possibly Nancy's brother. Joshua had married Rebecca McLAUGHLIN, a niece of David's.
As Nancy was at least 27 when she married David the possibility she may have been previously married. She was one of six original members of Brushy Fork Baptist Church in Sept. 1819 and received a letter of dismission on the 3rd Saturday in December 1861. David does not appear Brushy Fork records. Membership lists for Salem Christian Church (now called Cross Plains Church of Christ) do not exist for this period.
David purchased 65 acres from brother John in Ripley Co. on 16 Oct. 1829. This land was in Brown Township in the East part of the SE1/4 Section 31 Twp. 6N Range 11E for $165. He is probably the David who sold the land to son, William, on 6 March 1854 and may be the David who sold another 25 acres to William on 31 Jan. 1859.
Of David's children only one, William W., is truly documented. Family traditions list six children. Three of these--John, William W. and Hannah--are buried at Salem Cem. There is a Henry Buchanan buried next to John at Salem. Some believe he is also David's son, but family traditions do not list him.
Children of David Buchanan and first wife 1. JOHN BUCHANAN 1802/03-27 Nov. 1878 (age 75) He m. 15 Feb. 1825 in Ripley Co., Elizabeth Whittaker 1808-26 Sept. 1877, both buried Salem Cem. They lived 1850-70 census in Switzerland Co. His sister Rebecca lived with him in 1870. 2. JANE BUCHANAN 21 Sept. 1802-21 Feb. 1833 She appears to be the Jane Buchanan who m. 24 Mar. 1819 in Ripley Co., William H. Buchanan, her first cousin. 3.

Surname: Benefiel, Buchanan, Ryker, Moore, West, Conner, McLelland, VanCleave, McCarty,
Stewart, Vannice, Huckstep, Taylor, Caldwell, Russell George Benefiel, Dec. 25, 1759, April 1, 1831, was a Revolutionary Soldier
who came from Pennsylvania to Kentucky and then to Indiana during pioneer days. He married Mary Buchanan March 19, 1764-May 21,1857. Their
marriage took place in 1787 in Northumberland Co., Pa., according to a pamphlet called Central Pennsylvania Marriages. In 1785,
a George Benefiel owned land in Fayette Co., Pa. and a number of Benefiels appear in the frontier rangers in the Revolutionary War records
in the area. George served in Culbertson's Pennsylvania militia, a unit that served from Cumberland Co.. The Benefiels moved to Kentucky
where George appears 1795 in the Scott Co. tax list, 1796 and 1797 in Bourbon County, but does not appear in further tax lists there. He is
in the 1810 census in Clark County. The Clark Co. tax lists from 1797 on need to be searched. When George Benefiel moved to
Indiana is uncertain. The family has maintained a tradition that the Benefiels were involved in building Buchanan Station. But Benefiel's
daughter Esther married Robert McLelland on January 3, 1814 in Clark Co., Ky. according to information submitted with McLelland's
application for a pension based on his service in the War of 1812. It is certainly possible, but unproven, that the Benefiels moved to
Indiana, then back to Kentucky because of Indian hostilities as did other families. A biographical sketch of Robert and Esther’s son William
McLelland, printed in 1889, states the family moved to Buchanan’s Station on Nov. 5, 1814. When Benefiel moved to Indiana, he
was joining his wife’s four Buchanan brothers, who had settled along the Ripley Co.-Jefferson Co. border by 1809. George owned land in
Section 3 Twp. 5N Range 11E in Shelby Township.. His will is recorded in Jefferson Co. A Bible record owned in the 1800s by grandson George
McLelland of Indianapolis lists the birth dates of the Benefiel children. The children are also confirmed by deeds that settle his estate.

the son of Samuel Ryker, Jr. and Margaret Kincaid Holton, was born on the family farm near Canaan, Indiana, Oct. 8, 1826. Joseph Holton
Ryker attended Hanover College, at Hanover, Indiana for a time in 1840 but had to withdraw to help his father who died in 1843, and take
care of his mother and younger members of the family. He married Eliza Stewart McLeland, the daughter of Robert McLeland and Esther
Benefiel, Nov. 2, 1848. After his marriage he remained on the family farm in the Canaan neighborhood until in 1878 he puchased the home on
Ryker's Point across the valley south of the college. The Ryker's Point farm which he purchased near Hanover was across a deep ravine below
Crowe Falls, and south of the college campus, in Sec. 13, T3N, R9E. Original patent to part of this land was issued to Christopher Harrison
by the land office at Jeffersonville on Aug. 13, 1812. A patent to the SO 1/4 of Sec. 13 was issued to George Shannon at Jeffersonville on
Dec. 30, 1815. Christopher Harrison sold his part to Capt. George Logan in 1817 and moved to Salem. The old brick house occupied by the
Logan family for many years stood a short distance from the Ryker home. The Ryker house was a large brick English Colonial two story
structure built by Prof. S. Harrison Thomson, of the Hanover College faculty, who surveyed the first "pike" from Madison to Hanover. The
Ryker farm home, located on "Ryker's Point" was noted for having one of the most beautiful views of river and hills anywhere along the
Ohio river. Most of the present Hanover cemetery was acquired from the western end of the Ryker farm. Joseph Holton Ryker bought the Ryker's
Point farm with the expectation that he could also acquire some good river bottom land adjoining it, but this deal fell through. He found it
necessary to spend a good deal of time away from home engaged in the timber buying business in order to support his family. He served in the
55th Indiana volunteers during the Civil War. He served mostly on guard duty in Kentucky, and saw no actual combat service; but exposure and
other hadships of army life were too much for his none too rugged constitution and he remained in rather poor health for the remainder of
his life, although he continued to work. Joseph Holton Ryker died in 1880. After his death, his widow supplemented her income from the farm
by providing rooming accomodations for many Hanover College students, the last being her grandson, Carey Ryker Macdonnell, who stayed at the
home on Ryker's Point during one year of preparatory work in the Academy and three of his four years of college, between 1908-1912.
