* Descendants of Alexander McColl

Florence McCole grew up with her three sisters in the Scottish area of Ryegate and McIndoes Falls in Orange County Vermont in the 1860s. She married Haviland George Wilmot (see Wilmot Family ) and they moved to Colorado.

Florence was one of the thousands of Buchanan descendents to fall prey to a great hoax in the 1920’s. Buchanan descendents were contacted through a series of letters informing them that they were meant to inherit millions of dollars that were left for them on 99 year leases. Among this valuable real estate were 500 oil wells in Texas and the land on which the “Sears Building” in Manhattan was built.
