The Buchanan family begins in Hunterdon County with the Scottish immigrants, Samuel and Jane or Janet Buchanan, whose name was frequently spelled “Bohannon.” It is not known whether they had any more than one child. But one was enough–their son John left a family with a long history.
John Buchanan became a well-known figure in 18th century Amwell Township, especially because of his popular tavern located at the intersection of today’s Route 523 and 579. I have written at some length about this tavern. To see these articles, click on “taverns” under Topics in the right-hand column, and scroll down to the second page, or search on ‘Buchanan’s Tavern.’
Hiram Deats interviewed Joseph C. Buchanan about 1910, who said that before 1776, a Samuel Buchanan of Glasgow, Scotland eloped with his wife Janet and emigrated to America. She sold her jewellery in New York, and he bought a farm on “Bohonnan’s Hill” between Ringoes and Croton. They probably had several children, but only one of his was heard of, son John. Joseph C. Buchanan knew nothing of this John Buchanan except that he had kept a tavern at the foot of Buchanan’s Hill (where Adam Robbins lives).

My original tree, published back in 2019, began with John’s parents. But since they only had one known child, it made sense to start with their son John. As a result, I am including an extra generation.
As is my practice, I include the children of daughters, but not their grandchildren. Additions and corrections are welcome; use the comments section below or email me directly

On the Buchanan tree #6.9 Samuel F. Buchanan is my Great Grandfather. Everything I have say it is Samuel C. not F. However, I do not know what the initial stands for. Also he was born 1858. His tombstone is wrong. I found the 1858 birth notice. Jim Buchanan

Jim, The census of 1870 lists your grandfather with his parents, and the name is clearly Samuel F. And yet, I see on Find-a-Grave that his name was Samuel C. Other census records seem to have left off the middle initial. Your guess is as good as mine.

Thank you for publishing this! It confirms the research I posted to ancestry for my husband Joseph. Martha M. Buchanan is his grandmother and her husband William S. Crips is of course his grandfather. My husband’s lineage and mine intersect when Catherine Buchanan married William McPherson. Their son Reuben Jacob McPherson married, as his 2nd wife, my grandmother’s daughter Anna Louise Leeds. I discovered that when my cousin, Rube and Anna’s son, popped up on my husband’s DNA match. Imagine my surprise when we each had the same cousin. I shouldn’t have been as between my husband’s Crips, Buchanan, Rockefellow families and my Stevenson, Cole, Allegar families make us pretty much related to all the oldtimers in Hunterdon County. My Leeds family make me related to any of those still around in all of south Jersey. Somehow our families missed populating north Jersey.
