Searching for Lee, Cason, Buchanan, McDonald, and Miller lines. All of these have ties to south Georgia - Ware Co, Waycross, Blackshear, etc. I am specifically searching for information re: the wife of William Henry Buchanan d. 1864 in Civil War. Wife's name was Annie but surname is unknown. She gave birth on one child - Annie Belle Buchanan, 1865 probably born in Macon, Ga. as this is where her father died during the Civil War of thyphoid. Annie (the mother) is listed on a document "Salt Rations to Widows of Civil War Veterans" 1864. Would love to know who she was and from where she came.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
