In the comments, Yolanda posted a reply to my query.
Thanks! This is a Buchanan family that is a perfect 67-marker Y-DNA match to my family. So far we have not found the connection, but it looks like two of my cousins will be visiting County Tyrone this year, one in the summer and one in the fall.
The Andrew that Yolanda refers to is the uncle of the man who did the Y-DNA test. Andrew's father was John, and the Samuel Buchanan who lived nearby was his brother.
I believe their father is William, who is the only Buchanan listed in Kirlish in Griffith's valuation.

I will definitely share Yolanda's suggestions with my cousins.
I am open to further suggestions too!
