FatherJoseph Buchanan1 b. say 1775, d. bef 19 Mar 1822
MotherLydia Thomas
BirthCirca Ann Buchanan was born in Virginia.2 
Marriage She married Peter Faris.1 
  Ann and Peter lived in Hawkins County, Tennessee. They were enumerated in 1850 with 4 children in the household: Lydia (19), Peter (14), Vinia (12), and Elizabeth (9). Peter's 1840 household suggests the presence of two additional males age 15-19 and one additional female age 10-15.3,2 
Deathbefore 30 Aug 1855 Ann probably died before 30 Aug 1855 as Peter appears to have married for a second time as of that date.4 

Research Comment:

I have not found a record confirming Ann's year of death. Peter's 1860 household included 46 year old Sarah Farris who is unlikely to be the same person as the Anna Farris age 46 in 1850. It is more likely Sarah was the Sarah Leath who married Peter Farris in Hawkins Co. in 1855.

However, some Ancestry.com member trees have used the 1850 and 1860 census records to blend both women into one person named Sarah Ann (Buchanan) Faris. I have found no record indicating Ann Buchanan's first name was Sarah and do not believe Anna of 1850 and Sarah of 1860 represent the same woman. Alternately, other Ancestry.com trees have associated the Peter Farris-Sarah Leath marriage with Peter, son of Samuel Faris and Lydia Buchanan. If you can shed light on these entries I'd love to hear from you.5
