Margie, Lisa and Jan - Do you have access to a library with a good genealogy section? A distant cousin of mine (her ggrandmother was a sister to my ggrandfather)published a book in 1991 on the various families that went before us. The book is no longer in print but a good library should have it.The book title is "Maryland and Virginia Colonials: Genealogies of Some Colonial Families". The author is Sharon J. Doliante. Each chapter contains information about a specific surname. In the Beasley chapter as well as Elmore, Morris,Odell,Prather/Prater, Wesson and Williams chapters, Pucketts are mentioned. It is where they witnessed a signature or attended an estate sale or in court. So basically it just establishes that the person was there on a certain date. If you cannot find the book, let me know and I will e-mail each of you the info if you want it.
