Cool! I have Elizabeth C. Puckett's father was Caswell Puckett and grandfather as Charles Puckett who married Elizabeth Akin in Campbell County, Va around 1802. Charles Puckett's mother was Elizabeth Rice, sister of Molly Rice who married a Cheatham. For some reason, I still think I"m looking at part of Molly (Rice) Cheatham's family here, though some think William was the son of a Samuel Cheatham in Lunenburg co. VA. I haven't seen any definitive proof of this though, as yet. Thanks, Will Arline Sudberry <asudberry@worldnet.att.net> wrote: Yes, Permelia Cheatham, daughter of William Cheatham was the sister of Thomas b. Dec. 22, 1792. Permelia was born 1793 and d. 1880. She married John William Gillespie Aug. 28, 1827. They are both buried in the White Cemetery in Rutherford Co. Along with William Cheatham Gillespie, they also had Nancy Drucella, Phebe Ann, and James J. Gillespie. Nancy Drucella b. May 19, 1828 was my ancestor. She married Robert Drury King on Feb. 26, 1846. Nancy Drucella and Robert Drury King lived on Fruit Valley Rd. in Bedford County, were members of the Kingdom Church, and are buried in the King Family Cemetery on Fruit Valley Road. >From an article compiled by Arline Sudberry from information by various people in "Kingdom Church History Vol. II. "The brother of Nancy Drucella Gillespie King was William Cheatham Gillespie who was married to Elizabeth C. Puckett. William Cheatham Gillespie developed pneumonia and died in Nov. 1874 while working on Kingdom Church. The congregation was trying to build back the church after it had been burned by Union Soldiers in the Civil War. After the death of her husband, Elizabeth and her children lived in and ran the toll gate house next to Mack Motes place on Highway 41A between Rover and Eagleville." ----- Original Message ----- From: "W.
