Research Notes

I think this profile should be considered very dubious. The uncited secondary/tertiary source that it appears to derive from is not very good (DeGidio's Ware Family History (2003), p. 440-and I just have to guess what the source is because nobody bothered to put it down when creating the profile) and it's got a lot of red flags, like an anachronistic middle name and all-too-precise but unsourced birth years in poorly documented historical contexts. The proposed birth date of 1680 is extremely inconsistent with all known primary source information about the ages of Richard and Elizabeth Buckner's children. She would be the oldest of them by close to 4 decades. It's possible this "Frances Elizabeth" could be from a first wife, but Richard might not have even reached the age of majority by 1680. I think if anyone knowledgeable of the period reads DeGidio's book, it's going to be obvious to them that this is not a very reliable source, regularly garbling and misunderstanding basic geography and common place names, and it lacks even casual references or citations to the sources for the above information.

Frances was born before 1700. She passed away before 1800.

• John Garrett IV 1706-1784 named his daughter after his mother; Frances Elizabeth Garrett Gibson.

Frances was born about 1680. Frances Buckner ... She passed away about 1739. ^[2]Really?
