R. C. Davidson Jr lives at RR 3 , Golconda , IL 62938 (618) 683-4004 in Pope County , Illinois I think that he is about 60 to 65 years old. He and his wife Joan are very active in the local community affairs. He has restored a log cabin and donated it. I never knew what his initials stood for. There are many Buchanan's living in Pope County. Ken Buchanan's father was sheriff at one time.
