  	"Donald Buchanan was born in 1820 at Loch Tayside, Perthshire, Scotland. He came to Canada with his parents in 1829 settling in Beckwith Township in Lanark County. In the early 1840's, Donald married Grace Stewart who was born in 1822 in Perthshire. In 1854, Donald and Grace decided to take their seven children and travel to the Queen's Bush to start a new home. When they reached Guelph, Donald hired a teamster and a wagon to take his family and their belongings to Goderich. From there they came to Inverhuron by sailboat. For temporary shelter Donald put up a log shanty (on Lot 7, Concession 3) beside the blazed trail, east of the present lane. The shanty was later replaced by a log house north of the shanty, east of the present lane (opposite the house today). There was a log stable built west of the house ... Donald had been a weaver in Scotland; he had brought his loom from Scotland and did some custom weaving in his home. Donald built a second stable (measuring 36 feet by 56 feet) in 1877 or 1878. His son-in-law Malcolm McFadyen was the framer ..." [Bruce Township Historical Society, compiler, Anne Judd, manuscript ed.
