They settled on a 320-acre farm at this site in January 1846. Alexander Buchanan died that same year and was buried on his farm in what became the Buchanan Cemetery. Delilah Buchanan continued to live on the farm until her death and was buried next to her husband.Some of their children and descendants, many of whom became Fannin County business and civic leaders, also are interred in the family graveyard. More information on page http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/ceme-buchanan.html I took a survey of this Cemetery many years ago and then also received some a lot of information from Charles Durham a Decendant of some of the people in the cemetery. He also is taking photos of many of the stones and they can be viewed through the links. His list differed a little in places and he has added notes. Everything with * in front is his information. * Take hwy. 11 South of Sherman, when you can see the overpass at Randolph, there is a white-rock country road, go right (South) about 3/4 miles west of the overpass, it's about 1/2 to 3/4 mile down that road.
