I am looking for a connection to the Jane Buchanan b. October 1799 in PA. I am sure that Buchanan was her married name but this might ring a cord with someone on this list.I hope. Jane died November 7th 1875 in Indianapolis, and is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery. With her is buried a child probably an infant as there is no name given just child of William E. Buchanan. I believe Jane to be the mother of Cyrus F. Buchanan as she always lived next door to him according to census and like him was born in PA; she followed him in death very closely. On one census a John A. Buchanan is living with Jane and is 21 years old, he is a carpenter as is Cyrus, I am not sure if John is a younger brother to Cyrus or a nephew. They are on the same page of the 1873 city directory, Cyrus died shortly after that In 1873; they are both on the 1872-3 directory John is in the 1875 directory. Cyrus F. Buchanan was a carpenter and worked as a carpenter for the insane hospital in Indianapolis. He lived across the street from the hospital. He married twice, the first was in 1850 in Ripley County IN, Miss Elizabeth Jennings. She was born 1827 in Indiana, died 5 Oct 1859 in Indiana. As far as I know they had Ezra and Eliza Jane Buchanan. Cyrus then remarried abt 1862 or 3 in Indianapolis, Miss Elizabeth Kirby and they had William E. Buchanan in 1864; Jacob in 1869;John Henry in 1873. I don't know if there were any children between William and John Henry. John Henry Buchanan is my husband's grandfather. We lost the history of the family because of his father's early death at age 45 (john Henry was 3 months of age when his father died). His mother remarried a man by the name of Charles Haskins in Indianapolis, and John and he did not get along so John ran away at an early age (about 10), and until I found Cyrus' name in a baby book no one ever knew his name. The only thing that my mother in law could tell me was that he was a carpenter and worked at a hospital in Indianapolis. John Henry worked on ranches in the area until he was grown and then went to Utah to meet with a friend and there he met and married Euphemia Simpson. John always said his brother William E. married a lady from Canada and went there to live. That lady wrote several letters to the family seeking the Buchanan genealogy but no one kept her address so I am at a loss. I would love to know where in PA they came from, there are quite a few Buchanan's in PA. On the 1870 census Cyrus is listed and his wife Elizabeth (Kirby) and William E. who was 5, Eliza J. who was 14, Jacob S. who was 1, and Jane who was 70. I think there were two census' in 1870 that was the first one I think, I copied both. On the second one it is like this: Cyrus F Buchanan 42, carpenter, b. PA. mother of foreign birth. Elizabeth 31, Pennsylvania, keeping house Ezra 15, b. Indiana William 6, Indiana Jacob 1, Indiana Jane 71, PA. If anyone on this list can help me with this I would surely appreciate it.
