Please don't think I was ignoring you. I needed a couple days to verify my information before giving it to you. As your title suggests, there are "too many men named Samuel Buchanan". In comparing my sources and references, I find that there's a lot of confusion on the internet. I believe my records are straight. Please feel free to email me for more info at biddlecomehistory at yahoo dot com .
Here's what I have on Alexander's family:

[nancyp.ged]
Notes from Toby White-Beebe were donated by Howard V Jones.The Buchanan and
Edmiston/Edmondso n Families have been close for several generation. Samuel
arrived in the 1740's in Agusta Co. ,VA and lived next door to John and Robert
Edmiston. With them, he and his family moved dow n to Washington Co.,VA in the
1770's, and the close relationship continued. There were many B
uchanan-Edmiston intermarriages amongst the siblings. John and Robert may have
married a Buch anan, as well as Samuel marrying a Edmiston.
