Alexander Buchanan's daughter, Jane, was married to William DICKSON, often misspelled as Dixon. Jane and William Dickson had 2 sons: (1) Joseph Dickson who married Susannah Camnerra in 1819 in Clermont Co. (2) Thomas Douglas Dickson first married Susanna Derry (dau. of Jacob Derry), then in July 1821 (Clermont 2-3) married Margaret Barkley. Thomas, like many in those days, was illiterate. I'm not sure how Margaret was related to Hugh Barkley. In 1821, Thomas and Margaret Dickson sold some land to Hugh Barkley. I've tracked them to Edgar Co., IL, and have some data about their offspring that I would be glad to share. -Judy In a message dated 6/25/2005 10:15:16 PM Central Daylight Time, OHCLERMO-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: Alexander Buchanan emigrated to America in 1764, and settled in Washington county, Pennsylvania.

In 1792 he emigrated to Mason county, Kentucky, in 1796 to the mouth of Bullskin in Franklin township, and in 1799 to Washington township, where he died in 1802, his wife following him in 1812. His son, William, was the first permanent settler in Washington township, having come over from Kentucky in the summer of 1795.
