Bush\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s article on Buchanan\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s Tavern<\/a><\/p>\n Where was Buchanan\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s Tavern? Recently,1<\/a><\/sup> I found the first tavern where I didn\u201a\u00c4\u00f4t expect it, on the west side of Route 579 near the intersection with Route 523. Most people think it was on the east side of the road, where the Miceks now have a small farm. They are right\u201a\u00c4\u00eethere was<\/span> a Buchanan\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s tavern there, but it was the second Buchanan\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s Tavern, and here is the rest of the story.<\/p>\n John Buchanan, the original tavern owner, died on December 24, 1818, at the age of 78. At least three of his children pre-deceased him, including his son John Buchanan Jr., who died on January 19, 1818 at the age of 46, leaving a widow and 9 children. (Just like the confusing John Robins, there were three generations of John Buchanans, since John Buchanan Jr. also had a son John, born in 1800.)2<\/a><\/sup> Buchanan\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s two daughters also died before he did. Margaret, wife of Johann Mathias Case, died in 1808. Sarah, wife of Peter Case, appears to have died before 1796, since she was not mentioned in her husband\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s estate records.<\/p>\n Five children of John Buchanan Sr. survived him. Sons Philip and Asher were mentioned in the estate records, but disappear after that, probably having moved west. Son George married into the Fulper family and died in 1826. The remaining two sons, Samuel the eldest and Archibald the youngest, were named to administer the estate.<\/p>\n On July 29, 1811, Archibald Buchanan married Delilah Sutton, daughter of Amos Sutton (1765-1828) and Jane Robins (1765-1834). The Sutton family had been living on a large property south of the Buchanans since the 1740s. Jane Robins was the daughter of John Robins (ii) and Elizabeth Taylor. So, this marriage brought together two well-established families from the neighborhood. Two years later, Buchanan purchased a lot of 16+ acres across the road from his father\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s tavern lot,3<\/a><\/sup> Soon afterwards, in 1813, Archibald Buchanan applied for a tavern license.4<\/a><\/sup> His father stopped applying for licenses that year, so there continued to be one active tavern at this location.<\/p>\nArchibald Buchanan<\/h2>\n
