"Solving the Puckett Puzzle"
This is a query that I posted 5 years ago on the, internet searching
for information on our PUCKETT ancestors. Other PUCKETT cousins and I
had researche for years to find the parents of John H. PUCKETT but keep
running into a brick wall. A few months ago I was working on this and
studying the children of John H. PUCKETT.
I wondered why John had given the name BUTLER as a middle name to several
of his children. I remembered the post above and Frances Fannie BUTLER.
I decided to research her family line and it wasn’t long until I realized
our great, great, great, Grandfather John H. PUCKETT had left us his family
history in his children’s names.
I think John knew that some day his descendents would be looking for him
and find these clues with his children that would lead to the answers to
who our ancestors were.
I was able to without question find our PUCKETT family line thought John H.
Puckett and his parents David Puckett and Frances Butler. I believe these
PUCKETTs came from Ireland with Frances’s Butler family. For a long time I
tried to connect John H. PUCKETT to the immigrant John PUCKETT, from England
who came to America in 1637 and died 1677, his wife was Anne JEFFERY. I could
never make anything stick to this John PUCKETT. However to make thing more
confusing this John PUCKETT from England and Anne JEFFERY are our ancestor
grandparents through our HIGHTOWER line. I won’t get into that now.
To show you how this genealogy, (Family Research) puzzle works. I have matched
up John H. PUCKETT’s children in bold. I have put the children with the ancestor
they are named for:
