- Phillip Buckner is generally thought to have been the son of Richard Buckner of Caroline Co., though there is no direct evidence for the relationship. An alternative is that he was the son of Richard's brother, John Buckner Jr. The main evidence to support the latter idea is that John is known to have had a son named Phillip who was alive in 1733 (from a lawsuit involving John's heirs) and that one Louisa Co. deed refers to Phillip as Phillip Buckner of "Gloster" (Orange Co. VA Deed Book 13, pp 107 - 110). Since John Buckner Jr. was a lifelong resident of Gloucester Co. and Richard Buckner lived most of his adult life in Essex (later Caroline) Co., this inclines more to the idea that he was John's son.
