Sarah Buckingham was born 3 January 1710 at Saybrook, Connecticut.1,2 She married Emanuel Cocker about 1734.3,4
The Buckingham Genealogy errs when saying Sarah married a "Crocker." The will of her brother, Samuel Buckingham, quite clearly reads Cocker. Samuel's will also states his sister Margaret married a Johnson. The will of Eliphalet Johnson identifies two minors (William and Samuel) as sons of his wife's sister, and gives his wife's maiden name, Buckingham.
The two probable daughters of Sarah and Emanuel, Margaret and Sarah Cocker, are not named in either will, nor any other record yet found, except for their marriages which give their maiden names. Eliphalet had no reason to name them in his will as they were already provided for by their marriages to the Cook brothers. No other Cocker families in the area have been found, and it seems to be a very rare surname. Margaret's tombstone in the Hanover burial ground notes her middle name as Griswould, which would be her grandmother's maiden name.4,3,5,6
