I posted the original message under mash59. After many years of research I have found much information about my g.g.grandfather Stephen Buchan who was born in Mexico and who came to Australia and lived at Nymboida.
His brother Robert drowned at Etonsville , also a cousin in the same spot on the river.
Stephen and Robert were sons of John Hitchcock Buchan, son of Captain David Buchan, 1818 Arctic Voyage leader.

My father, James Bucan (variant Buchan) Thomas was born 4/22/1937 and died Jan 2008, born on the same day as his grandfather, maybe greatgrandfather? James Bucan/Buchan Thomas. My father's father was Edward Thomas, who resided in Bronx, NY. I was told Edward sailed clipper ships as a boy with his father Thomas to the orient. James the senior was originaly from Wales, rest of the Thomas family moved out to Ohio, lost touch. Elizabeth Thomas

I am the g.g.granddaughter of John Hitchcock Buchan, father of Stephen Buchan who came to Australia with his brother Robert from Mexico and education in England.

Previously believed that JHB's brother was father of Stephen Buchan but that is incorrect.
JHB had 3-4 children by Florencia Yanes in Guadalupe Y Calvo.

Note my new email address.

I would like more info on what happened to his other children. he later married Katherine Auld and had 4 other children who lived at "The Grove", London.

Hi Sheena

You must be David Buchan's cousin in SA.
We have not been able to connect our two families, it was an initial mistake in my early researching thinking that Charles Forbes was related but......David has sent me a photo and the likeness is great.
You can download a photo of David Buchan.
He married a Maria Adye , that is how the name stuck in the Buchan line'

Hello! I am the daughter of the man (Mike Brown) who posted about being adopted. I would love to find out more about your uncles who lived in Michigan. Even an approximate age/birth date would help us match up whether they could possibly be related! I am new to this type of research, and there seem to be so many Buchan's, everywhere... Thanks so much for this "hint" at least - hope to hear from you soon!

roysboy1 — 2012-01-20 03:42:21Z

Hello, I found the graves at Eatonsville by pure coincidence whilst water skiing on the Clarence River. I noticed the large headstones overlooking the river bank near the old crossing. The graves are in the Mlyneford cemetery near Grafton NSW Australia. I checked with my grandmother who was in her 90's and she thought they were two brothers. But it appears they were cousins. and they drowned whilst crossing the River but they died 5 years apart one in 1860 and one in 1865. if you send me your email address I will send photos of the graves.Also I have a copy of the history of the Buchans done by Marg Ashby ( my 2nd cousin who I didn't know existed until I was given a copy of her research by Robert Buchan who I met by pure chance.Robert was the mayor of St George in Queensland Australia at the time. My email address is roysboy@tpg.com.au

Hi. My sister (Heather Boulton) and I are interested in similar history. Stephen Buchan's wife, Charlotte Minna, was the sister of William Braidwood Jones, our gr grandfather. We've visited Minna's grave, and stayed at the Inn. We would love any information about the family. Thanks

Hi Jan. My sister (Heather Boulton) and I are interested in the history of Stephen Buchan and Charloote Minna Jones. Charlotte's bother was William Braidwood Jones, our gr grandfather.

Christina_Hassard — 2012-01-19 04:58:40Z

Hi. My sister (Heather Boulton) and I are researching Stephen Buchan who lived at Nymboida in the 1870's. He was married to Charlotte Jones, daughter of Jeremiah Jones, our gr grandfather. We have some interesting information, and would like to share your information. e.g. I read that it was his nephew who drowned, age 19 in 1865, but don't know the realtionship of the other boy, Robert, who drowned at Eatonsville.

I tried to look up the family tree so that I could see everything that you have and unfortunately ancestry.com only lets you look at family trees if you have a paying membership.

Are you the person that put up the "Shooting" story? If you are I'd love to hear it. One of Bango Boykin's kids was a gunsmith and instilled a passion for them in me.

Re: Jun 4 Reunion in Georgia

leoangeldust — 2011-09-13 08:33:02Z

I haven't heard of a reunion back in Georgia or anywhere for that matter. But then again I didn't know how my relations really worked from Arizona to Georgia either.

The closest thing to a reunion I've been to is the gathering we had for James Harold Buchan's death back in May about a week before memorial day.

Re: JOHN BEVERLY ALLEN BUCHAN

mlventures2010 — 2011-08-06 15:52:28Z

JOHN BEVERLY ALLEN BUCHAN is my 1st cousin 4x removed. I know nothing about the Buchan family line. I was adopted at birth and have only just found out who my Grand Father was, Wesley Lawrence Buchan. My grand Mother divorced my grand father when my mom was only 4 yrs of age. Wesley was told by my great grand father on my grand mothers side to never have contact with the family again. So now I am trying to find out about my family on the Buchan side. All the info I have is from ancestry.com. I have only met 3 Buchan's on line and they have no info on the family, the live in Florida and I live in Oregon. I hope you can help me. I go by my birth name in my family tree, Lorri Anne Butler. Any help would be appreciated..............Lori

Do you know Wesley Lawrence Buchan?

mlventures2010 — 2011-07-19 21:54:21Z

I am searching for any family members that may still be alive. Wesley Lawrence Buchan was my grandfather. I was adopted at birth and found my birth mother, Betty Grace (Wesley's Daughter). Betty knows nothing of the Buchan side because her mother Frances and Wesley divorced when Betty was 4. I would love to know where I come from. Wesley past in 1990. I do know my great grand father was James Washington Buchan. Any help would be appreciated. I have been trying to do a family tree but I don't think I have it right......

Thank you,
Lori

My name is shirley simmons, I am now living in douglas, ga.
and my great grandmother is Jane Buchan who was living on the williamson place in dodge county ga. She was included in the settlers that settled in Dodge county ga. in 1870. She was married to Caleb Simmons. I would appreciate any information.

Re: BUCHAN

k3healy — 2011-05-26 23:49:24Z

Hi,
I've just read your posts - I am also a cousin, of sorts - my grandmother was Sarah May Blackadder, youngest child of James' brother William & Sarah May Allison. William married Cora Alice Buchan after Sarah May died following the birth of my grandmother.

I have traced the Blackadders back to William & Anna Poole, but have not yet found William in Scotland - Stirling, according to death notices, etc. - not that I've really tried, as yet. I have spent some time trying to discover how he made his way to Australia, but haven't had any luck there either. Anna came out on the Bussorah Merchant in 1833, but I haven't found William yet, who must have come out at around the same time.

Have any of you traced him back to Scotland, &/or the ship he emigrated on?

Thanks
Kim

Alexander Buchan

mamabkb — 2011-02-25 22:43:22Z

I am descended from Alexander S. Buchan (1815-1902). He was born in NY state, and either died in Wisconsin or Iowa, or possibly in Illinois. I cannot find his wife, or parents, and have no idea where in NY his family is from. One relative says we are related to the Pearre family (possibly Perry/Parry), who are supposedly his ancestors. I can find no evidence. Does anyone have any information on this particular branch of this Buchan family? Thanks in advance.

I have a John Kelman who married a Margaret Buchan who I think was from that area. I spent some time in Scotland in 2006. I spent a lot of time in graveyards seeking out old headstones to extend the family members about whom I knew nothing. We may have a connection what else do you have on your Buchan line. I reside in New Zealand.

Re: Extensive Family Tree to post with a "story"

jbuchan47 — 2010-11-16 17:18:21Z

The initial tree is now posted with 7 attachements to my profile showing a 4 page letter from my Great Uncle telling a brief story of how my family came to Canada and a 3 page hand drawn family tree dating to 1773ish.

I have notice that the earlier dates attached to names on the tree have a letter C beside what I thought was a birth date so I may in fact have a christening date there and not a real date of birth so will need to investigate that further.

Re: Extensive Family Tree to post with a "story"

jbuchan47 — 2010-11-15 23:48:13Z

I thought I should also mention the tree starts in Scotland and carries across to British Columbia with many points in between.

Hello all,

I just joined ancestry.ca and am happy I did!

A number of years ago (approximatly 25 I think) my mother wrote a great uncle of mine for information about my family to help me in a school project I was undertaking. What she recieved was a 4 page account of the family story with some very interesting tidbits and a hand drawn family tree going as far back as the 1700's. I thought I would post in case anyone wants to have a look at it, I hope to have it online and open for viewing within the next few days.

Hi My name is Royce Wilson,my great Grandmother was Minna Buchan from Nymboida NSW Australia. Her father was my G G Grandfather I have a copy of the Buchan History from the search for the north west passage, the silver mines in mexico. I also have found the headstones of the two Buchan cousins who drowned at Eatonswill as it was named in 1860 and 1865 when they drowned. I made contact with Marg Ashby,( an unknown cousin ) and took her out to view the graves which are in the Mylneford cemetery across the river (Clarence) from Eatonsville (name changed from Eatonswille).Before this though by pure coinsidence I met Robert Buchan in Saint George Queensland, he gave me a copy of the history of the Buchans from the early days in Scotland to Mexico to Australia down to my Grandmother Kitty Frost who's nmother was Minna Buchan. Contact me if I can be of any help. roysboy@tpg.com.au Minna is buried aprox. 500 yards from where we live. Nymboida is 26 miles from here. Grafton. NSW Australia. Bye Royce..

William Buchan of Edinburgh born 1805 married Margaret Henderson

dmhollandjackson — 2010-08-09 11:56:54Z

Hi my g-g-g-grandfather was William Buchan who sailed on the Duncan to Australia in 1838 with his wife Margaret. He ended up living in Camden and was a stonemason working on many of the town's building and church (he designed the church font). I am wondering whether anyone can help me with information on his father as I would love to trace the Buchan line back further and need some concrete information. My grandfather was Noel Davis known as "Buck" but his middle name was "Buchan" after his grandmother Jane Buchan daugher of William and Margaret. It seems a mystery to what became of William as there are lots of reports about Margaret running her own business and being a well respected member of the community in Camden while raising 9 children but no mention later on of what became of William. William is not buried next to Margaret at the church I visited in Camden. Curious as to what became of my ancestor.

woolgoolga62 — 2010-07-03 12:52:31Z

Captain David Buchan married Maria Patterson Adye in 1801 in Portugal.
All of you Buchan relatives out there who have read my book in Australia will receive an addit to the book this year as more information has come to light.

The main point to tell you at this moment is that Stephen Buchan (of Nymboida Station) whose father was listed as Stephen Douglas Buchan is incorrect. His father was John Hitchcock Buchan. Stephen was his Godfather. A Professor of Hispanic languages who is doing a lot of research into JHB and the Mexican silver/gold mines has the BDM in Spanish and is proving very interesting. Stephen on his wedding certificate has filled in Stephen on the wrong line and the LDS have incorrectly transcribed it. We are working together and I will let you know the whole Mexican story when it is complete. This was the missing link before.
