     David "Lougheed" Buchanan was named for an unknown person ; The name Lougheed apparently comes from Mr. Robert Lougheed who was a prominent doctor in Trenton. Mrs. Lougheed was Mrs. Stuart's sister and was very involved in church and school in the Trenton area. See "Stuart Immigration".
"They continued their journey to Trenton, as Mrs. Stuart had a sister, Mrs. Robert Lougheed, living there." From "The Stuart Line".
Note: Mrs. Stuart here is Elizabeth's mother, William Stuart's wife. He was born on 23 December 1884 at Conc. 4 Lot 31, Brighton Twp., Hilton, Northumberland Co., Ontario; Birth Reg'n.#024374: Name: John Buchanan; Date: Dec 23 1884; Parents: John Buchanan & Elizabeth Stuart; Inf.: John Buchanan, farmer, Brighton Twp; Reg'd: June 4 1885; no doctor; Reg'r: C.

Note: David Loughheed was originally buried in the Hilton cemetery. Charles Buchanan thought that he died in the winter of early 1888 and was buried at Hilton because the family could not get to Carrying Place to bury him with his father. He was dug up in the spring of 1888 and intered with his father at Carrying Place.^1,5,6
He was buried on 19 September 1886 at Brighton Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario; The child David Lougheed Buchanan was buried originally near their home east of Hilton but, after his father, John, died a year later, his mother Elizabeth wanted the child to be buried with the father in the Carrying Place Cemetery. As a result, the child's body was removed to the Carrying Place Cemetery. per Charles Buchanan

Note: Stone is very unclear; date likely wrong here??
Note: Infant son David L. Buchanan was buried first near the family home in Brighton Twp., then, after John died Nov 29 1887, he was moved from there to be buried with his father in Carrying Place. This was probably done the next spring since Charles Buchanan recalls his father saying that it was very wet and the move was very unpleasant. (Per Charles Buchanan.)⁵

     Robert Buchanan was born in 1817 at Monaghan Co., Ireland; "In May and June, 1969, my husband, Doug Anderson, and I were in the Old Country. We rented a car in Dublin and set out for Counties Monaghan and Leitrim, hoping to find some trace of our ancestors. My grandmother, Elizabeth Stuart-Buchanan, migrated from County Leitrim, and his ancestors from Monaghan. We were unsuccessful -- all records had been destroyed when these what-were-once Northern Ireland Counties were taken over by Southern Ireland." from minutes of Buchanan-Stuart Picnic, August 1969.^2,3 He immigrated before 1844 to Canada West; Date of immigration is not known. First child was born in 1846 in Ontario (called Canada West then) and it is likely he was married here after immigrating. He married Mary "Ann" Bowles, daughter of John Bowles and Ann Mills, before December 1845 at Brighton, Northumberland Co., Canada West; Ann's surname is found in only two places (so far) but it is different in each case. In James's Death Registration, it is Bowles. In George's Marriage Registration it is Butler. This needs to be researched.
Note: St. Paul's Anglican Church in Brighton was destroyed by fire in 1914 which may have destroyed the record of Robert and Anne's marriage. They were Church of England.
"St. Paul's Anglican Church, 48 Sanford Street: St. Paul's Anglican Church was established in 1862 but traces of the Anglican Community date back to 1836. ... Prior to the erection of St. Paul's, services were held in the Old Presbyterian Church on Young Street. Following a fire in 1914, which destroyed early records of the church, electricity was installed and a Choir Vestry was added." (from "A History of Brighton - Churches" on the web page of The Independent, East Northumberland's Weekly Newspaper.)^4,1 Robert Buchanan lived in 1847 at Ameliasburg Twp., Prince Edward, Canada West; After the birth of their first child, John, in Brighton, Robert moved to Ameliasburg Township where all the rest of their children were born. He appeared on the census of 1851 at Ameliasburg Twp, Prince Edward Co., Canada West; Age 35 at 1851 Census: Buchanan, Robert, 35, b. Ireland, Irish, CE, Mason, married; John, 5, b. Cda; Thomas Henry, 3; James, 1; Ann, 30, b. Cda., CE, married; Mary, 25, b. Canada, CE, single (1851 Census: Ameliasburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., pg. 3 of 94, line 4 - ancestry.ca) Note: The family is living in a 1 storey frame house.
Note: Both Ann and Mary are shown born in Canada. This would appear to be a mistake, at least as far as Ann is concerned since later census records confirm she was born in Ireland. We can be less certain about Mary although, if she is a sister of Robert, she would have been born in Ireland too.⁵ He lived in 1852 at Conc 2, Ameliasburg Twp., Prince Edward Co., Canada West; Robert Buchanan is not included in the Agricultural Census part of the 1851-2 Census for Ameliasburg, probably because he did not own any land. However, we can locate him in an area based on the position of his record in the 1851-2 Personal Census. He is on page 2 of Part 1 (Part 2 is missing) on the 4th line. Just above him is a large family of Hunt's - George and Harvey are the men shown as heads of families. Harvey Hunt is shown in the Agricultural Census on Conc 2, Lot 104. Just above the Hunt's is Charles Chase who is shown at Conc 2, Lot 105. Right after Robert Buchanan we see Robert Jackson, who is at Conc 3, Lot 89 and then J. A. Bonter, who is at Conc 2, Lot 111 and 112. This does not pinpoint Robert Buchanan on a specific lot but shows us that he was in the area south of Carrying Place and likely near or to the east of the Chase homestead which is occupied today by a Chase descendant. We can recognise this area by driving south on Hwy 33 from Carrying Place and noticing the large farm of communications towers on the east side of the road. If you go east down the sideroad to the just north of there, you will be in the area where Robert Buchanan lived in 1852, likely renting a house from one of the men mentioned above. We can confirm the locations of these other men in the County Atlas Map for Ameliasuburg Township which shows who lived there in 1878.^6,7 He Mary Buchanan, 25, is living with Robert Buchanan in Ameliasburg Twp. in 1852. She was born in Canada and is single. in 1852 at Ameliasburg Twp, Prince Edward Co., Canada West.⁶ He was Occupation: Mason per 1851-2 Census in 1852 at Ameliasburg Twp, Prince Edward Co., Canada West.⁶ He 1857 Directory of Ontario shows Robert Buchanan in Consecon, Prince Edward County, a stone mason and plasterer in 1857 at Ameliasburgh Twp., Consecon, Prince Edward Co., Canada West.

Note: Bill Buchanan uncovered the stone June 2000 after visiting the Norwood-Asphodel Cemetery and not finding the stone once before. It was almost completely covered by a layer of grass and dirt with only a corner showing. Bill took an educated guess and started digging. Great work!
In September 2000 the grave stone was repaired, cleaned and set up on a solid base. Rev. Charles Buchanan performed a rededication ceremony which was attended by several ancestors of Robert Buchanan.

     William Stuart was born in 1815 at Gurteen, Leitrim, Ireland; The location is listed as Enniskillin in some documents.^2,1 He married Mary Anne Hart, daughter of ? Hart and ? ?, before 1838 at Ireland; Date of birth for William John Stuart is Nov 17 1838 per his Death Reg'n.^1,3 William Stuart "While in Liverpool, they saw The Great Eastern, a famous vessell of its day." per Stuart immigration story from Jean Anderson's papers. circa May 1860 at Liverpool, England.⁴ He "They landed in New York, going that round-about way to visit a cousin, Stuart by name, who was one of the early merchant princes of New York. While in New York, they heard Jenny Lind sing." per Jean Anderson's papers.
Note: Exact dates not known; guessing they sailed spring or early summer. circa June 1860 at New York, New York, U.S.A..⁴ He "In the year 1860, William Stuart and his wife, Mary Hart, with their family of 9 children ranging in age from 19 to 2, left their home in Gurteen. Leitrim County, Ireland for Canada. They came in a sailing vessel and made the voyage in six weeks. While in Liverpool, they saw The Great Eastern, a famous vessell of its day. They landed in New York, going that round-about way to visit a cousin, Stuart by name, who was one of the early merchant princes of New York. While in New York, they heard Jenny Lind sing. They continued their journey to Trenton, as Mrs. Stuart had a sister, Mrs. Robt. Lougheed, living there. They bought a farm on the York Road and lived there in a log house. When only four years in the new country, the husband died of typhoid fever. This loss was followed in a very few years by the tragic death by drowning of the second son, Isaac. A relative in New York State left a sum of money to the late Wm. Stuart and it seemed necessary that Mrs. Stuart go there to get the legacy. Another well-to-do relative who lived there adked her to move there with her family and he would do everything possible to help them. She refused because she wished to be buried beside her husband. Heart, rather than head seems to have ruled their lives, as that wealthy relative in New York City had made them the same offer in their arrival in America but it was refused because they could only live under the British flag. Mrs. Stuart made that trip to New York State in the year Abraham Lincoln was shot. Then she gave up the farm and moved to Carrying Place where she had a little store. She died there in 1876 and was buried beside her husband in St. George's Churchyard Cemetery, Trenton. From what I have heard of her, she was an intelligent, strong-minded, deeply religious woman, while her husband was a gay, warm-hearted, irresponsible Irishman." from the first three pages of Jean Anderson's writings about the Stuart family which includes reports on several Stuart-Buchanan Picnics, for which she acted as "Historical Secretary". These documents are in the files of Dan Buchanan, Nov 18 2010. circa August 1860 at Murray Twp., Trenton, Northumberland Co., Canada West.⁴ He emigrated circa August 1860 from Trenton, Hastings Co., Canada West; In the year 1860, William Stuart and his wife, Mary Hart, with their family of nine children, ranging in age from 19 to 2, left their home in Gurteen, County Leitrim, Ireland, for Canada. They came in a sailing vessel and made the voyage in six weeks. While in Liverpool, they saw the 'Great Eastern', a famous vessel of its day. They landed in New York, going that roundabout way to visit a cousin, Stuart by name, who was one of the early merchant princes of New York. While in New York they heard Jenny Lind sing. They continued their journey to Trenton, as Mrs Stuart had a sister, Mrs Robert Loughheed, living there.
Attached to one of the pages in Amelia Hayes' black book is a letter from her dated August 21,1966, which states in part: Dear Jean: Your great Aunt Loughheed started the first Sunday School in Trenton in her house. Carrying Place, St John's Church was in use before St. George's Church, Trenton, was built, and the clergyman from Carrying Place held afternoon services in Trenton, so Trenton was called a mission. Here is the inscription: ''St.John's Mission Sunday School. Presented to Mrs R. Lougheed by the teachers and scholars of St.John's Mission Sunday School on the anniversary festival celebrating the 12th year of existance of the school as a testimony or token of their respect for her as a Pioneer Teacher and Foundress and a memento of that event. Trenton, Ontario, December 4,1871''
William and Mary Stuart bought a farm on the York Road and lived in a log house, which is still standing (in the 1940's). When only four years in their new country, William Stuart died of typhoid fever. This loss was followed in a very few years by the tragic death by drowning of the second son, Isaac. A relative in New York State left a sum of money to the late William Stuart and it seemed necessary that Mrs Stuart go there to get the legacy. Another well-to-do relative who lived there asked her to move to New York State with her family and he would do everything possible to help them. She refused, because she wished to be burried beside her husband. Heart, rather than head , seems to have ruled their lives, as that wealthy relative in New York City had made them the same offer on their arrival in America, but it was refused because they could only live under the British flag. Mrs Stuart made the trip to New York State the year Abraham Lincoln was shot (1865). Then she gave up the farm and moved to Carrying Place, where she had a little store. She died there in 1876 and was burried beside her husband in St. George's Churchyard in Trenton. From what I have heard of her,she was an intelligent, strong-minded, deeply religious woman, while her husband was a gay warm-hearted, irresponsible Irishman.

Leitrim County, Ireland for Canada. They came in a sailing vessel and made the voyage in six weeks. While in Liverpool, they saw The Great Eastern, a famous vessell of its day. They landed in New York, going that round-about way to visit a cousin, Stuart by name, who was one of the early merchant princes of New York. While in New York, they heard Jenny Lind sing. They continued their journey to Trenton, as Mrs. Stuart had a sister, Mrs. Robt. Lougheed, living there. They bought a farm on the York Road and lived there in a log house. When only four years in the new country, the husband died of typhoid fever. This loss was followed in a very few years by the tragic death by drowning of the second son, Isaac. A relative in New York State left a sum of money to the late Wm. Stuart and it seemed necessary that Mrs. Stuart go there to get the legacy. Another well-to-do relative who lived there adked her to move there with her family and he would do everything possible to help them. She refused because she wished to be buried beside her husband. Heart, rather than head seems to have ruled their lives, as that wealthy relative in New York City had made them the same offer in their arrival in America but it was refused because they could only live under the British flag. Mrs. Stuart made that trip to New York State in the year Abraham Lincoln was shot. Then she gave up the farm and moved to Carrying Place where she had a little store. She died there in 1876 and was buried beside her husband in St. George's Churchyard Cemetery, Trenton. From what I have heard of her, she was an intelligent, strong-minded, deeply religious woman, while her husband was a gay, warm-hearted, irresponsible Irishman." from the first three pages of Jean Anderson's writings about the Stuart family which includes reports on several Stuart-Buchanan Picnics, for which she acted as "Historical Secretary".
