Lucy Ellen GIBSON was born on 2 August 1827 in Virginia, daughter of Col. Jonathan Catlett GIBSON and Mary Williams SHACKELFORD.1 Lucy Ellen was very sickly as a young girl. At age 7, she was not sent to the dentist because relatives thought that she would not survive the winter.2
Lucy married John Strother BUCKNER, son of Bailey BUCKNER and Mildred Strother, on 23 December 1846 in Culpeper County, Virginia.1,3 When Aylette Hawes Buckner took a shot at Union troops, his mother protested when they fired back at the boy. They told her that if he was old enough to shoot at them, then he was old enough for them to shoot back. Either these troops or others stole all their cattle and under cover of darkness young Aylette went over the mountain and recovered them.4
Lucy Ellen GIBSON died on 2 August 1920 in Culpeper, Virginia, at age 93.2 She was buried in Fairview Cemetery.
