Vice Admiral Charles Buckner (ca. 1735〔Christened 12 Jan 1735 according to parish registers of Boxgrove, Sussex〕–1811) was a Royal Navy officer who became Commander-in-Chief, The Nore. He was the brother of John Buckner, Bishop of Chichester, and grandfather of portraitist Richard Buckner. ==Early life== Charles Buckner was christened in the parish of Boxgrove, Sussex in 1735, the son of Richard Buckner, steward to the Duke of Richmond, and Mary, née Saunders. He married Mary Parke in 1763 and they had three children, Charles, Mary, and Richard. After his first wife's death, he married Anne Frewen, who was a great aunt of celebrated engineer Fleeming Jenkin, as recounted in Robert Louis Stevenson's ''Memoir of Fleeming Jenkin'' (1888). Stevenson describes him as "that tall, rough-voiced, formidable uncle" who "was no enemy of dunces; he loved courage".〔p. xvii〕 In addition to his naval career, he was mayor of Chichester in 1784 and an alderman of the city afterward.
