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.
