    1. [PAFRANKL] Buchanan and McClelland families
    2. Andy Mills
    3. Hello everyone. I've just joined this listserv. My 6x-greatgrandparents were John McCLELLAND and Catherine BUCHANAN HOUSTON. They were in Franklin County before moving on to Milford Township, Juniata Co. I do have some information on the Buchanans from another website, but other than that, what follows is the extent of my information on this family. If anyone can help with my search, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm keen to find out where they lived, as I'm planning a trip to Pennsylvania next year, and would like to visit the homes of my ancestors! The following information is taken from History of that part of the Susquehanna and Juniata valleys... Edited by F. Ellis and A. N. Hungerford. 1886 "John McCLELLAN had previously lived in Franklin County, He belonged to a family still numerously represented in that region... McCLELLAN's wife was a Widow HOUSTON, whose maiden-name was Catharine BUCHANAN,-a sister of the father of President BUCHANAN. Her first husband belonged to a family of that name in this region, from whom the celebrated Sam HOUSTON, of Texas, was descended. [By her frst marriage she had two daughters,--Jane and Sarah. Jane was the wife of John ELLIOTT...Sarah was the wife of Andrew DOUGLASS... Mrs. Catharine BUCHANAN HOUSTON, by her second marriage, to John McCLELLAN, became the mother of Daniel, Joseph, John Jr., and perhaps other sons, Nancy (wife of James SANDERSON), Catharine (wife of William LYONS and then of James HITE)... Thanks in advance. Kim in Salmon Arm, Canada
