Dear Friends of Buchanan Station Cemetery, The inaugural meeting of the Friends of Buchanan Station Cemetery will be held on Saturday, March 17, at 10:30 a.m. at the Buchanan Log House (http://www.buchananloghouse.com/), which is located 3.5 miles farther out Elm Hill Pike than Buchanan Station. We hope you will mark your calendars and plan to attend. You don't need to bring your checkbooks to this meeting. Needed now are voices of support, ideas, and organizational skills. You've heard of "getting in on the ground floor." Well, this is it! Attached is one of the more important and coherent accounts of the Battle of Buchanan Station that we have sent you thus far. This one is full of interesting items, including these two: 1. The article speaks of Major John Buchanan's Bible, in which family records where written. WHERE IS THIS BIBLE TODAY? In the hands of a Buchanan descendant? 2. The article speaks of a sketch or drawing of the layout of Buchanan Station itself. WHERE IS THIS DRAWING? Among the papers of the Tennessee Historical Society? We have a lot of work to do. Take Care, Mike Nashville Historical Newsletter 293-3832

Mike The Buchanan Bible records were transcribed in the book, Tennessee Records: Bible Records and Marriage Bonds, Volume 2, By Jeannette Tillotson Acklen. The record was actually written by Henry Buchanan and loaned to Mrs. Acklen by Mrs. Roy Rascoe. There is additional information from other Buchanan Bibles and the owners names were given. This was in the 1930's. You can view the book on at google book link below.
