Yes, this was exactly what I expected to find, that Robert Puckett who died in Grand
Junction, Van Buren County, Michigan, was probably Floyd Jr's brother. Morgan told me
she thought her mother's father was "Bob" Puckett. "Bob" is a
nickname for Robert, so figured that should be what I needed to look for.
I am wondering if there are any marriage records in Clay or Vigo for Robert Puckett and
his siblings. Floyd Sr. was married to Nancy J. Thorlton. The Mattox family is also tied
to these folks. Joseph Puckett was married to Zerish Mattox born 1810. I'm not sure
who her parents were. In 1900 or 1910 Clay county there were a Calvin Mattox and Marshall
Mattox living next to Henry Puckett and wife.
Thanks again for your help!

1930 Vigo Co. IN, Harrison Twp, Terra Haute City, part of 2nd Ward, South 13th St.
Floyd PUCKETT, age 43; wife Ola 42; children: Oris 23; Gilbert 20; Ward 16; Blaine 14;
Floyd, Jr. 11; Robert 8; Velma 7; Vera 4; Donald 1 yr. 7 mo's; all born IN.
Floyd, Oris & Gilbert are all Trackmen for the RR. It's difficult to cite a
complete reference because the pages are out of order in
Ancestry.com and there isn't
a dwelling or family number assigned to them. My guess would be either the enumerator
missed numbering them, or they are part of hh #321, 66 year old Sue Knowlton, b. IN,
parents b. Maine-Germany.

Subject: [INCLAY] Household of Floyd Puckett 1930
I am in need of someone who has access to the 1930 Federal censuses for Clay and
possibly Vigo County, Indiana. I need the census data for the household of Floyd Puckett,
born about 1884 Clay County, IN. I need to see if he had a son, Robert, born between 1920
and 1930.
A Robert Puckett was born 31 July 1921 and died 10 January 1995 in Grand Junction, Van
Buren County, Michigan. A probable daughter was Nellie Lucille Puckett Hutson, born 10
March 1952 and died May 1979 also in Grand Junction. Apparently Floyd Puckett Sr. moved to
Van Buren County, Michigan where he died in 1971. The "Junior" from the 1920
Clay County IN census is most likely Floyd Puckett Jr. born February 6, 1919 and died in
Lawrence, Van Buren county, MI on September 3, 1997.
I am attempting to research this family for a cousin here in Tennessee. She believes her
mother Nellie's father was a "Bob" or Robert Puckett. Any help on this
family would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
