The story of the immigration of these families is online in Grandma Trowbridges Narrative [the sister of Dianthy] gives a wonderful picture of the 1801 migration from Vermont as well as some of the hazards of the frontier. The site crashed my PC regularly but the Narrative is worth reading just for the history. http://home.earthlink.net/~artdugan/content.htm and the Prouty website <A HREF="http://www.sonic.net/~prouty/prouty/d387.htm">http://www.sonic.net/~prouty/prouty/d387.htm</A> Rachel Prouty Buchanan [her husband Cyrenus was a doctor in Lowell] and Louisa Prouty [Phillips] moved to Hardin Co where she was listed in the 1880 << There are a number of Buchanan's listed in the index. I'll look up specific names if you like.>> I like I like<VBG>!
