He was christened in the parish of St Bartholomew-by-the-Exchange in London on 27 Oct 1605,[1] a younger son of Thomas Buckner, a London mercer at whose house Thomas Harriot died in July 1621.
His father had accompanied Harriot to the New World on the first (abortive) Roanoke Colony venture in 1585, led by Ralph Lane.
