| 6 Sep 1870 | However in 1870 a William R. Buchanan, age 2 was recorded in St. Clair township, (Smyth County, Virginia) in the household of Mary C. Buchanan. Also in the home was William N. and America J.G. Buchanan [William was Mary's son]. Who is this William R. Buchanan? William R., son of William N. died in 1869. Is the census in error? Is the Washington County death record in error? America's obituary states she was the mother of 7 children, which count would not include this William. On the other hand the 1900 census stated she was the mother of 11 children.1 |
