Ewing D. R.
Moved to Nashville about 1784 and named his farm Clover Bottom. Headwaters of
N.F. (north fork?) of Holsten? River.
Archibald Buchanan was 27 years of age when he enlisted in the company of
Rangers commanded by Capt. William Preston July 17, 1755. This would mean he
was born in 1728. He was the son of James Buchanan and wife Mary Allison (Will
Book 3, pg. 379, Augusta Co.,VA dated June 9, 1761, proved March 19, 1765).
(SEED BED OF THE REPUBLIC, p. 79, by Robert D. Stoner).
Archibald and his brother John Buchanan settled in Planter (Locust) Cove
on the headwaters of the north fork of the Holston River. (Gordon Aronhime
Papers, Southwest Virginia Card File, Card 1, Electronic Card Indexes,
University of Virginia)
Archibald Buchanan built and lived in what was known as "The Old Blue
Brick" mansion in Donelson....the location of the Buchanan home was at what is
now 2851 Blue Brick Drive in Donelson in what was then called the Clover Bottom
subdivision, but it is close to Highway 70 and Stewart's Ferry Pike on the
right as you go toward Percy Priest Dam on the pike.
About 1781, Agnes and Archibald Buchanan moved from Plaster or Locust
Cove, Augusta Co.,VA, to the "Clover Bottom Farm" east of Donelson, TN.
Archibald built a large home for his family known as "Old Blue Brick" just off
the Lebanon Pike on the Stewarts Ferry Road.
Archibald and Agnes were buried in the garden of "The Old Blue Brick".
There their bodies remained until the home was sold, at which time James
Buchanan, their son, had them moved to the farm of his cousin, Major John
Buchanan, located on Stone's River. This was originally the "Buchanan Fort."
It is now known as the "Knapp Farm". No trace of the graves can be found, a
few markers still remain. (TENNESSEE RECORDS, Vol. I, p. 126, 261, Vol. 2 by
Jeannetta Tillotson Acklan.)

"hi guys. Just found a book in the attic, TN tombstones/Bible Records, pub
in 1933 by Colonial Dames of america. Has the following on Arch./James/ etc.
From the James Buchanan graveyard on Elm Hill Road on the old farm are the
stones of James 7/16/1763 - 2/14/1841 and wife Lucinda East Buchanan 12/11/1792
- 4/15/1865. His stone reads "A kind husband and affectionate father." and the
following: "Farewell me friends, as you pass by; as you are now so was I; As I
am now so must you be; Prepare to die and follow me." Wife Lucinda (and that
seems to contradict some data herein, I think?) stone reads: "As thou hast said
I shall follow you, As all the rest must shortly do; Then be not guilty of any
crime, So you may live in the heaven sublime." Archibald is also buried there,
"son of James and Lucinda" 3/21/1811 - 9/7/1843. Stone reads: "Away from his
home and the friends of his youth; He died a man of energy and truth." Also
included is some history: James came to TN with his parents about 1785 from
Augusta County, SW Virginia and settled on a 640 section of land near Donelson,
a part of which is now "Clover Bottom Farm. Archibald built Old Blue Brick
before 1800. Still occupied. James built a large two story log house on Elm
Hill Road early in 1800, which is still stinding and occupied. James and
Lucinda had 16 children." there is more, and I will be glad to share if anyone
is interested. I also dont know whether this data is accurate. Let me know if
it has been found to be wrong, will you? thanks."
