Our genealogy of them has hit a brick wall. Her G-Grandfather was Richard A. Puckett, born about 1830. We cannot find his parents with certainty. One reference says they probably were Richard Puckett and Rebecca Cleaver. I found a marriage with those names in Patrick County, VA, in 1830. Our Pucketts lived in that county back then. The minister who married them has the same name as the minister who married other members of our family back then. No other traces of either family were found until I surfed to the Burch family in Indiana. The names Richard Puckett and Rebecca Cleaver are mentioned there, but, no mention is made of a son named Richard, only four daughters. Our Richard A. Puckett was born about the same time that the Richard and Rebecca were married, in the same community. The fact that they cannot be found there led us to suspect our ancestor moved away shortly after. Now, I find the Indiana Pucketts died in between the censuses of 1! 830 and 1840. I also learn that some Burch family members in the Greene County, IN locale have ties back to Surry County, NC and Pittsylvania County, VA. That is not too far from where we are searching. In fact, we still live close by, in Rockingham County, NC, where there are hundreds of Pucketts in our extended family! I know I am responding to old message board entries. If any Pucketts, or Cleavers, or Burches can fill in the blanks for me, I would be forever grateful. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
