- This marriage date to "Giles Cook" seems dubious. Is this from Jim White's book? I don't understand where this marriage date and birthdate could have come from. There are very few sources for vital stats in Gloucester for this period. White is notorious for simply inventing data to fill in blanks in his book, and you can often identify where he does that by the occurrence of data that are surprisingly complete given the historical context. To be honest, I would just throw away everything from him since it's more trouble figuring out what stuff he's faked than it's worth, but a lot of people seem to want to try to sort that little bit of wheat from the pile of chaff. Crozier (p. 23) indicates that Elizabeth Buckner married James Williams, though he does not give a source. I've never seen anything to contradict that and it seems consistent, so I'm inclined to accept that Crozier was drawing from an authentic tradition that appears to have come down through the Flournoys, but there's no support for these dates or "Giles Cook" that I can find.
- The marriage to James WILLIAMS is from Crozier's Buckners of VA, p. 23: "In addition to his four sons, it is believed that John Buckner had a daughter named Elizabeth. She married James Williams, a lawyer, who was born in England. Their daughter Mary, born Dec. 25, 1695, married first, Orland Jones, who d. s. p. She married secondly, June 23, 1720, John James Flournoy, born Nov. 17, 1685. He died March 23, 1740, and his wife died one or two days later."
