| Guilford Courthouse Road - Greensboro, North Carolina |
....like so many Pennsylvania borderers, [Buchanan] had migrated to North Carolina, settling in the neighborhood of Guilford Courthouse, now surrounded by the town of Greensboro.
In any case, late 1779 found the younger Buchanans building a station on the southern side of the Cumberland River...of what is now Nashville. On the other side of the Lick Branch, another station was soon being built, that of George Freeland, while north of the river about twelve miles away, near present day Goodlettsville, there was a finished station. This belonged to Kaspar Mansker who had by 1779 been hunting over the region for more than a dozen years. [Source: Flowering of the Cumberland, Arnow]
