Sophy Buckenbah, born about 1806, may have been Nanbarry's widow or perhaps his daughter, using his name Brockenbau, a form recorded by Newton Fowell in 1790. She appears in the Colonial Secretary Return of Aboriginal Natives (blanket lists) as living at Kissing Point in 1836, aged 30 and with one daughter.
