Message Board Post:
This is a followup to my message posted on 3 May 2007. The Richard Puckett who married
Rebecca Cleaver in 1830 is not part of the immediate Richard A. Puckett family which I am
researching in the genealogy of my wife, Elizabeth Puckett. The two Richards, however, are
distant cousins, several generations apart.
Also, someone wondered what the connection was between the Puckett, Cleaver, and Burch
families. They all came from the same locale in Southwest Virginia and intermarried.
Apparently, they all moved to Greene County, IN, about the same time. Thus, when Richard
and Rebecca and two of their four girls died in 1837, the other two girls were cared for
by a Burch family, undoubtedly kin.
Does anyone know the cause of death of Richard and Rebecca and the two little girls in
the same year, 1837?
