Daughter of James and Keziah Champion Drake; wife of Benjamin Franklin (BF) Buckner, to whom she was married on September 23, 1859, in Buncombe County, North Carolina,

BF & Sarah were charter members of Locust Grove Baptist Church, January 18, 1891.

Their known children:
William Marion Buckner
Velda Rebecca Buckner (Allman)
Robert Lee Buckner
Elyotte Frank Buckner
Harriett Buckner (Buckner)
James Buckner
Jacob Garland Buckner
Henry Buckner

My Grandmother, Eupha Burrell Buckner, wife of BF & Sarah's grandson Ross Buckner, referred to them as "the patriarchs."
Granddaddy said both of his grandparents were blind in their old age. I'm guessing it was due to cataracts.

Her death certificate has the wrong mother listed. Her HUSBAND'S mother (Rebecca Arrowood) is written in as her mother. All other information is typed in and Frank Buckner (her son Elyotte Frank Buckner) is the informant; it is possible he did not know the name at the time the report was filed and either he or someone else provided the information later. Keziah Champion Drake is Sarah's mother.
