Kathleen, I am Margie Puckett Barton and I am trying to prove lineage to became a member of the Colonial Dames. I am missing one connection and I am in hopes you might be able to direct me on where to find the is information. I have researching the PUCKETT for close to 30 years I can prove my line from Henry Puckett to Richard Puckett, Jr born according to Bristol Parish Vestry Records, born about 1721. Richard's father was Richard Puckett Sr, son of William Puckett son of John Puckett son of Henry Puckett. Richard Puckett, Jr was on orphan, his guardian was John Puckett of Chesterfield Co, VA, brother to Richard Puckett, Sr. According to books (I can not prove) Richard Jr had two sons; James Puckett and Thomas Hobby Puckett. I can prove from James Puckett down to me, this James Puckett was suppose to have married Martha Dabney from Cane Creek Laurens County South Carolina (can not prove). If you have ANY suggestions I would welcome them. I have copies of most anything you can ask for, but nothing connection James Puckett to his father Richard Puckett, Jr. Help please, Thank you in advance for your time, Margie Puckett Barton -----Original Message----- From: Kathleen Much Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2012 12:54 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [VA-ROOTS] Ludwell Lineage _Genealogies of Virginia Families from the VA Mag. of Hist. and Biog._ (Baltimore, 1981), vol. 3, p. 691 (reprint of W.G.
