Hector is said to have fought in the war of 1812 as Hector Buchanan, a Private under Captain Lewis' company with the Mississippi Volunteers. I have not located any record for this.
In 1840 he is living in Washington Parish, Louisiana with a family consisting of one male under 5, one male 5 thru 9, one male 40 thru 49. One female under 5, one female 5 thru 9 and one female 40 thru 49 . 3 slaves, a male and female both under 10 and a female 10 thru 23. Hector's wife was Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) and no record of a marriage for them. This census would mean that he had a daughter and a son born around 1830 ad 1835. So a marriage would have occurred about 1825 to 1830. Daughter Elizabeth, my gg grandmother, was born Oct 1841 in Washington Parish, Louisiana. So Hector & Elizabeth would have had 4 children between 0 and 10 yeas old, two sons, two daughters.
I am not sure where this family is in 1850, I have not been able to locate them.
In 1860 Hector and his wife Elizabeth are living in Winn Parish, Post Office at Goodwater. Listed are Hector age 61, Elizabeth age 56, daughter Elizabeth age 19 and son James A age 14.
