Notes for Buckner (Spouse 1)
Some dates bring into question the Buckner Russell Sr. family as usually listed as Mary “Polly” Russell. A “Buckner Russell” is mentioned as Mary “Polly” Russell’s father in a few places including the Taylor TUCK book for one.
But if Buckner Russell Sr. is listed as Mary “Polly” Russell’s father, then Rachel Petty could NOT be Mary’s mother for Rachel would have been 64 years old and Buckner would have been 71! Possibly, a 2nd unknown wife, but then that brings into question when Rachel Petty died, for Buckner Russel Sr. would already had a wife (Rachel) who would be too old to have Mary.
Much more likely, I believe, that Buckner Russell Jr. was Mary Polly Russell’s father, for he would have been 29 years old, with the Mary’s mother as yet unknown. Then the ages for Buckner Russell Sr. & Rachel Petty better match an earlier generation, as does Buckner Russell Jr. & an unknown wife’s ages.
