Sarah "Sally" Buchanan is one of my mystery ancestors. She was, according to census records, born in Indiana about 1805/06. She married George W. Colegrove in 1823 in Knox Co., IN. Sarah died in Bicknell, Knox Co., IN on 6 April 1864. She was the mother of five children.
But what of her parentage? Thus far, I haven't run across any other Buchanans in the Knox Co. area prior to 1830. Her family should have been in Knox or an adjoining county. Could she have been raised by another family? [maternal grandparents, aunt or unle] Could her family have been missed or incorrectly transcribed in the 1820 census?
While several families have been relatively easy to track down - give or take a spouse or two - Sarah Buchanan is another story. Hopefully, Knox Co. records willl answer some of questions.
