Children
Archibald BUCHANAN b: in Pennsylvania
James BUCHANAN b: ABT 1702 in Northern Ireland
Samuel BUCHANAN
 

He is thought to have been a son of John Buchanan, Jr. and Jean ___ of County Tyrone, Ireland. He married in Ireland and had issue: James, Archibald and Samuel. On or before 1702 he and his children had crossed from Ireland to Chester, Nottingham Township, PA. He later moved to Lancaster County, PA. The list of the family by Alexander Buchanan, the son of Captain John Buchanan and Martha Buchanan Buchanan, a great grandson, showed the landing and settlement at Chester. That record was in the papers of Capt. Felix Grundy Buchanan in 1921. Roy George Buchanan stated that his grandfather had told him that the family was from 3 brothers who were born in North Ireland, likely Tyrone County, about 1660, and that the names of two of the brothers were Samuel and Alexander, who came to America at the same time. That the children of the third brother were in Virginia by 1740. That he came to America in 1702 and died in 1730. Bertie Rose showed that Alexander Buchanan was born in 1650, married in Ireland, brought his family with him to America, and died in 1728. She listed his brothers as William, George, Archibald and Samuel. A paper in the home of Raymond Madison Buchanan, Smyth County, VA, shows, "John and Jean Buchanan, of Scotland, had several children, two of whom were John and George. Both of these children went to Ireland in 1674. John had two sons who came to America from Ireland, namely Samuel and Alexander, about 1702, settled in Chester County, PA and later in Augusta County, VA." A paper in the Historical Society of PA, Philadelphia, PA shows that Alexander Buchanan was a native of Ireland and had two sons who emigrated to America about the beginning of the 18th century and settled in Chester, Nottingham Township, PA. In the same Historical Society the Buchanan Genealogical data, Gen Ha 201 shows that Alexander Buchanan had two sons, James and Archibald, who emigrated to America about the beginning of the 18th century. The sons settled in Chester County, Nottingham Twp, PA.

"Among the early Quaker settlers in Pennsylvania was Moses Bowen and Rebecca Reese, his wife. They emigrated, with a large company, from Wales about the year 1698 having purchased ten thousand acres of land in Guinnedd Township, Chester CO.,PA" - Ancestors and Friends by William Lusk Crawford, quoting Margaret Campbell Pilcher

Moses Bowen, with his wife Rebecca Rees, came with a large company from Wales, about 1698, and settled in Guinnedd township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Note from Cara:  I do not believe Ann Eppes to be the daughter of Lewellen Eppes.  The Ann Eppes that is the daughter of Lewellen apparently married a man named Collins.  I believe this is the correct Eppes as she has a son named Isham, and the name Isham is this Ann's father.  It was ruling out the Ann/daughter of Lewellen that led me to believe this is correct, still looking for absolute proof on this.  This pedigree behind this Ann Eppes was given by Paul De Belling  on Rootsweb.

He was named executor of his step-mother’s estate that same month. From his residence he was known as Francis Epes of Bermuda Hundred. His home, then in Henrico County, fell into Chesterfield County upon its creation in 1749. He was sworn as a justice of the peace for Henrico County , 1 June 1683, was sheriff in 1685 and again in 1686, and by 12 Oct 1688 was referred to as captain. In 1690 he was one of the ‘Commissioners for taking subscriptions towards a College [William and Mary, chartered 1693] to be erected.’ He was Burgess for Henrico County 1691-92, 1693, 1702/3-1705 and 1705-06. On 6 April 1700 he was again appointed sheriff of Henrico County and was appointed twice more on 27 April 1710 and 27 April 1711.

"He received numerous grants of land in Henrico County and on 24 Oct 1701, with his half-brothers William and Littelbury Epes, received 1,000 acres in Charles City (later Prince George) County on the south side of Warwick Swamp and the north side of Joseph Swamp, due for the transportation of twenty persons. On 24 April 1703 a grant of 4,000 acres in Henrico County was issued to Capt. Francis Epes, Mr. Isham Epes, Mr. Francis Epes, Jr., Mr. George Robinson, Minister, Mrs. Elizabeth Kennon, Mr. Phillip Jones, Mrs. Martha Stratton, Mr. George Archer and Mr. James Hill for the transportation of 80 persons, including a Francis Epes. This suggests that Francis3 had been to England and back. In 1704 he owned 226 acres in Prince George County and 2,145 acres in Henrico County. On 28 April 1711 he, Joseph Royall and George Archer petitioned that they with Mr. Richard Kennon had in 1690 entered 2827 acres in Henrico County but Governor Francis Nicholson had refused them a patent because the land lay beyond the limits he had set. Their rights were lost when the State House burned but they had obtained new rights for the same land. The Council resolved that no patent could be granted for this land until the Queen’s pleasure was known. He was frequently mentioned in the diary of William Byrd as Col. Frank Epes, and as Col. Francis Epes had land in Henrico County surveyed by Mr. Francis4 Epes, surveyor, 8 Feb 1709/10. On 26 April 1712 Col. Francis Epes, Mr. John Bolling and Mr. Richard Cocke were appointed to hear and determine the differences between the inhabitants at Manakintown about the division and proportioning of land.

"His will, no longer extant, was dated 2 Oct 1719 and it was presented for probate, 6 June 1720 by Francis Epes, his executor. He and his brother-in-law William Randolph (who married Mary Isham) were trustees of Bermuda Hundred Town and on 2 Feb 1719/20, on motion of William Randolph, surviving trustee for the town, Francis4 Epes was appointed trustee in the stead of his father, deceased.

"He married Anne Isham, daughter of Col. Henry Isham and his wife Katherine (Banks) Royall, some time between 23 Sep 1678 when Anne Isham was a witness to the will of Mrs. Elizabeth (_____) Worsham Epes and 20 Feb 1681/2 when, as Anne Eppes, she gave power of attorney to William Epes."
