There were so many very nice responses to my Yell County Buchanan request that I am just dumbfounded. Arkansas people (and their descendants) are just plain nice. I have now made new contacts with descendants of John A. Buchanan, the Hollands, the Moores and the Jones. In some cases I was unable to help someone but was able to refer them to someone that had written to me, so hopefully, I won't be the only one that benefits from the posting. However, one wonderful thing is that through this list, I have made contact with someone that was able to take one branch of my line back another generation and into another state. In that state, in an online Census, I found another ancestor whose travels I have been trying to trace. He was Mark Allen McClendon. This person referred me to an online census containing our common ancestors - and low and behold, right in the middle - between our ancestors, sat Mark Allen. Now, I have a lead on where to look for his wife. Since they married in a neighboring county, I am going to branch out and see if I can get a lead on her parentage too. You just can't know what information you might turn up with the next e-mail you open, can you? Thanks again to everyone that responded. If I have not responded personally to any of your e-mails, please resend it. I have been having problems with my computer and don't want to neglect anyone that was nice enough to respond. Thank you all again. Maryann Dixon Moseby
