    Notes 
    • (1) A household headed by Wm. BUCKANON is listed in the 1790 census of Rockingham County, NC. [The compiler believes that Wm.'s surname was really BUCHANAN.]

      Listed in Wm.'s household are 2 free white males over 16 years of age; 4 free white males under 16 years of age; and 4 free white females.

      Assuming that Wm. is 1 of the 2 free white males listed in the 1790 census as then being over 16 years of age, he would have been born in before 1774.

      The makeup of the other persons in Wm.'s household is a matter of speculation.
