      I Griffin Stith, of whom presently.
      II Buckner Stith of Brunswick County. (For issue see Stith Family.)
      III. John Stith, born March 20, 1724; died May 29, 1773, s. P.
      IV. Drury Stith, married Fanny Love.
      V. Bathurst Stith, born Sept. 19, 1729.
      VI. Thomas Stith, born Dec. 29, 1731. He was a Burgess in 1771.
      VII. Dudley Stith.
      VIII. *Elizabeth Stith, born June 23. 1754; married (1st) Henry Fitzhugh of Fitzhughburg; (2d) Henry Fitzhugh of Bellair.

      * It seems hardly possible that she could have been the daughter of Elizabeth Buckner, as the latter is believed to have been born about 1699 or 1700. which, if correct, would make her 56 Years of age at the time abet daughter's birth. She was either born about 1734, or if 1735; Is the proper date, then she was more likely to have been a daughter by Col. Drury Stith's, second wife, Elizabeth Eldridge.

      Historical and Genealogical Notes
      Source: The William and Mary Quarterly, Vol. 7, No. 1 (Jul., 1898), Page 57-63
      Buckner Family. See Vol. VI., Page 196. Some corrections and additions should be made. Col. Thomas Ballard had a daughter Katherine, and William Buckner's wife was Katherine, but I have
      no proof that they were identical
      Similarly, Griffin Stith did not marry Elizabeth Buckner. Prof. Christopher Johnston, of Baltimore,
      sends the copy of a deed dated November 5, 1773, recorded in Stafford county, from Buckner Stith, Sen., of Brunswick county, to his eldest son, Robert Stith. This deed recites that John
      Buckner, gent., late of York county, willed land in St. Paul's parish, Stafford county, to his nephew, John Stith, who died May 28, 1773, when the land came by a devise in said will to said
      Buckner Stith as his heir, and the said Buckner Stith by this deed devised the same to Robert Stith, his eldest son and heir. Witnesses: Aristotle Eldridge, Thos. Stith, Buckner Stith, Jr.,
      John Stith. Now the Bristol parish register shows that John Stith and Griffin Stith were both sons of Lt.-Col. Drury Stith and Elizabeth his wife, who must have been, of course, one of the daughters of Major William Buckner, of York, referred to in his will proved at Yorktown in 1716.
