A David Buchanan is listed in Muncie, Delaware County, Indiana on the
1860 Indiana census. A daughter of his, India or Indiana, was born
June 25, 1864.
Her death certificate lists David as her father. He was born in
Ohio. Her mother was Susan/Susana Lemon/Lennon. She also was born
in Ohio.
India Buchanan married Charles William Cecil in 1887. They lived in
or near Muncie, Indiana all their life.
The parents of CW Cecil were Samuel M. Cecil, b. 30 Oct 1846 and
Amelia Bloom, b. 31 Dec 1841. Samuel's father was Stewart Cecil. I
don't have a reliable name for his mother.
Amelia Bloom's parents--Aaron Bloom, b. 1815? place unknown, Martha
Ann Polk, b. 1821 place unknown. The Polks and the Cecils came out
of Virginia. I haven't been able to trace their whereabouts between
Virginia and Ohio and Indiana.
Do these folks sound familiar to anyone?
