NOW ~~~~~~ HOW good is this information..........I just had a
hunch.........and from the films I saw yesterday again, just looking for
Davidson, I think I figured out there were at least 4 brothers involved in
Buchanhaven. I have also aside from my Walkers, a ANDERSON famly
there.....in the 60's.......James Anderson (his mother was a Walker) m
Barbara COW (OPR'S says), but I suspect COWE......and then another
Buchanhaven family becomes involved, Buchan's. I wish I could have been a
fly on the wall to see the interaction between all these families in such a
tiny community. What a hoot that would have been.....Goldie
