A dumpy history: Wilson G. Buchanan is the son of Samuel Buchanan and Nancy Herrington Buchanan; the family resided in the Imperial Wicker community from in the region of 1834-65. Samuel died put on btw 1854-1856.
In 1865 Wilson stirred his family to Brazos Realm TX. At smallest amount of one of Wilson's brothers and two sisters remained in LA. Not assured where/when Nancy Herrington Buchanan died. She is not cadaverous with family in the Buchanan family cemetery in Brazos Realm, so we dependence to find her in LA.
In Row 1836, Wilson returned to Alabama to get married his honey Jane B. Fleming and win her to LA. We have really enjoyed shadowing
their courtship (?) in the shadowing letters.
