I have a little info on a Nathaniel Buchanan, not sure if it's your guy or not: The 1860 Census for Watauga County NC dwellign 294 family 247: Simeon Buchanan b abt 1832 Margarett b abt 1839 in Tennessee Children: Winfield S Buchanan b abt 1855 Delbert W Buchanan b abt 1857 Nathaniel Buchanan b 1860 (age 3/12 on census) The census shows the mother born in Tennessee and then all dittos beneath it, but that particular census taker appears to have used ditto for North Carolina, regardless of what was listed immediately above the ditto marks.
