Notes
-
Possibly born Thomas Francis Couglan in either Athlone (Roscommon) or Erin (Castleisland, Kerry) Ireland.

From the 1920s onwards Buckley's arrival in Australia is usually reported as being 1862 or 1865. He records in the 1914 Table Talk interview, however, that he came here under contract to Frank Weston (making it 1869). This is supported by an article published in the 5 April 1869 edition of the South Australian Register which records his recent arrival from New York, along with Messrs Hammond and Peel (p.3).
-
A number of Buckley's obituaries erroneously refer to him as George Buckley. That is the name, however, of another Civil war veteran (buried in the Ipswich Cemetery, Queensland).
