Gov. Yeardley dau. Elizabeth married Croshaw?

I'm a descendant of Mary Croshaw through her granddaughter Sarah Dumas. The Dumas family believes Mary is the daughter of Maj. Joseph Croshaw and ELIZABETH YEARDLEY, daughter of Virginia Gov. George Yeardley and Lady Temperance Flowerdew.

This is not mentioned at all in the Croshaw, White or Yardley forums, so I'm doubtful. Can anyone clarify this for me?

From dumas.com:

According to Pub. 25 "The Huguenots," the ancestory of Unity Smith (mother of Sarah Dumas) is as follows: Gov. Sir George Yeardley m. Lady Temperance Flowerdew (daughter Elizabeth), Elizabeth Yeardley m. Maj. Joseph Croshaw, son of Capt. Raleigh Croshaw (daughter Mary), Mary Croshaw m. Henry White (daughter Mary), Mary White m. George Smith son of Capt. Raleigh Smith (daughter Unity).

The children of Sir George Yeardley and Lady Temperance Flowerdew:

1.       Elizabeth Yeardley, married Maj. Joseph Croshaw, son of Capt. Raleigh Croshaw
2.       Col. Argall Yeardley
3.       Capt. Francis Yeardley
