This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

If you have not already discovered, the Kingsleys descend from a family that came from England in the early 1600s. They married into at least two Mayflower families, the Hopkins and the Billingtons. In the late 1700s they were in CT, with Oren Kingsley, Sr, moving after at least one intermediate stop, to Oneida Co., NY. While in Oneida Co., Oren Kingsley, Jr., apparently married Margaret Buchanan, and they moved in the 1830s to Chautauqua Co., NY, later to Warren Co., PA. I have rather extensive documentation on all this. Margaret Buchanan, born in Cambridge, Washington Co., NY, was the daughter of Thomas Buchanan and Sarah Livingston. Thomas Buchanan was the son of John Buchanan and Jane Russell. These latter two were the grandparents of President James Buchanan, who then was a first cousin of Margaret Buchanan who married Oren Kingsley, Jr. Thomas and Sarah (Livingston) Buchanan eventually moved to Napoli, Cattaraugus Co., NY. The genealogy of the Buchanans from Scotland, to Co. Donegal, Ireland, to America is pretty well documented. If you are interested in additional information, please let me know. Ron McRoberts
