Buchanan line from Prestonpans

[Wilton Endeavour]

I was down in Prestonpans cemetery yesterday writing down and photographing any Buchanan headstones, as some of my Buchanan line were born in Prestonpans.
There is also one headstone in Prestongrange church for an Alexander Webster who died 29th June 1898, age 67 years. Beloved husband of Mary Buchanan who died 6th August 1914, age 78 years.

My ancestor was Archibald Buchanan born 1810 Prestonpans. His brothers and sisters were Margaret B1812, Amelia B1815, Mary B1816, James B1818, Andrew B1820, Peter B1822, William B1824, Susan B1826 and Daniel B1830 Tranent. Archibald's parent's were Daniel Buchanan, fisherman, born 1787 Edinburgh and Mary Crawford B1789 Tranent. Daniel and Mary married on 14th Feb 1809, Canongate, Edinburgh.

Archibald above B1810 Prestonpans married Ann Gordon and they had 10 children born in Prestonpans. Agnes Watt B1835, Mary B1838, Daniel B1840, Helen Stevenson B1841, Susan B1843, Archibald B1847, Andrew B1850, Daniel B1854, Thomas B1854 and Robert B1857. My ancestor was Susan who married John Howden on 27th June 1871 in Prestonpans.

Hi Wilton Endeavour,

I am related to the same family. Archibald Buchanan (b 1810) who married Ann Gordon, is my Great Great Grandfather. My great Grandfather was Andrew Buchanan (b 1849), and grandfather Thomas Buchanan (b 1895), father was Andrew Buchanan (b 1922). I stayed in Cockenzie & Port Seton, so I am familiar with a good bit of the history.

Tom Buchanan.

PS Susan your relative, was 6 years older than Andrew, my GGF.
