Rachael Van Schaick Buchanan's burial was apparently one of the first ones in the Abell-Stith Family cemetery. Her husband, Baptist Pastor and Rev War Veteran Alexander Buchanan had died a few years before in Washington Township, Ohio, and he was buried there: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/27039592/alexander-buchanan His wife's burial here was apparently communicated by word of family members later. None of her family members were buried here. She was a matriarch pioneer whose grave was apparently the first in this cemetery, before the records were created for this cemetery. Rachael descended from King of Holland, William of Orange, who was martyred for being Protestant. His descendants settled in New Holland probably for the religious freedom it provided. Rachael married Alexander Buchanan on 24 February 1772
In New York City, NY. They had 12 children.
