Dear List, I hope you can help me find the ancestors to William Buchanan, who married Florinda Brent and had children: Thomas G., William S., Charles N., John L. and Mary A. In a Spotsylvania county publication in the 1800s, it was written that William Buchanan, a farmer, "came to Spotsylvania county from Falmouth, in 1825." What I know is that we are directly descended from his son William S, born June 1833, in Spotsy and married Amanda Steuart. Charles N, born January 1831, married Sarah Osborne and raised a family in KY. Would like to find out what happened to the other children Thomas G, John L and Mary A. I'd also like to find out any information on the elder William and his wife Florinda Brent, who came from Falmouth, especially their parents. William's paternal ancestors, according to a biography on his son Charles, were English and among the early settlers of Virginia. His father came to America in the war of the Revolution, as a soldier in the British army.  At the close of the war, he located in Caroline County, Va., where he lived until his death, in 1824. Any information and the names of William's parents would be most appreciated. Thank you for whatever help you can provide. Sincerely, Patricia Johnson Savannah, GA
