“Clement Evermon Buckman and his wife Servilla Ann Shanks (Buckman) left Union County, Kentucky in 1858, and settled first at Fort Scott, Bourbon County, Kansas where they stayed seven years.
In 1865, he set out for California crossing the plains with ox-teams. He brought a band of cattle with him, and his daughter Sarah Earsley Buckman, then only 13 years old, rode horseback and helped drive the cattle.
After wintering in Prescott, Arizona in 1866, they came to Fort Peck (now Kingman, Az), where Indians stole their stock and started to drive them away.
Sarah and her brother AJ, himself only 16 years old, started in pursuit, and as the herder had killed two Indians, the others were evidently frightened away, for the cattle were recovered and the party returned to Prescott.
In the spring of 1866, they came to California and located in Tulare County upon a farm where the father (Clement) died at the age of fifty-seven years. His wife, formerly Servilla Shanks, a native of Kentucky, also died in this vicinity.”
