Ann? Buckner

Family

John Buckner was the Son of Rev Thomas Buckner and John Page. His wife was probably not Deborah Ferrers.

Ann and John Buckner emigrated by July 1665. They had 5 children that we know of;

• 1. William (abt 1661-1716)
• 2. Richard (1663-1678 to 1733)
• 3. Frances Elizabeth (1665-1739)
• 4. Thomas (1666-1744)
• 5. John Jr. (abt 1668-1748)

Disconnected as daughter of Thomas Ferrers alias Turner

Showing she’s different ..,

Not the same as Deborah Buckner

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ferrers-43

Find-A-Grave Memorial #46879567 [4] perpetuates Crozier's error in identifying Deborah Ferrer as the wife of John Buckner of Virginia (d. 1695).

She should not be confused with another contemporary Deborah Buckner who was born Deborah Nelson and married Richard Buckner in London in 1667. Deborah (Nelson) Buckner died in 1695, leaving a short will.[6]

Also, her husband John Buckner had a sister named Deborah, who married Henry Mitchell and was dead by the 1670 date of their father's will, so the name seems to have been en vogue in the mid 1600s.

Possibly the Deborah Buckner buried St. Mary's, Reydon, Suffolk, England on 9 Nov 1701, though in a 1695 lawsuit John Buckner of Reydon states that he was the only son and heir of his father John Buckner after his mother Debora's decease. It is not clear if that means she was already deceased or that he was merely stating that he would be the sole heir after her death and the expiration of her life interest as a widow.[1]

Her father's epitaph is remarkably useful[2]:

Here lyeth interred the body of Mr. Thomas Ferrers, gent, who married the daughter of Mr. Bernard, and had by her two sons, Thomas and John ; and four daughters, Mary, Elizabeth, Nathany, and Deborah. He departed this life the 11th of March 1646, being then lord of Fingest manor, who was very godly, and truly loving to his wife and children. Putting together other marriage records etc., her mother's name maiden was Mary Bernard, who later married Andrew Hunt.[3] It should also be noted that the Ferrers family was alias Turner, that is, they changed it from Turner to Ferrers at some point.
