New information derived from the 1870 census for Marshall County, Kentucky shows Robert M. Puckett living two houses away from a William P. Puckett.
William was traced to then 1860 census for Tippah, Mississippi, living with his parents, John M. Puckett and Lavica (?) Puckett.
John M. Puckett was then traced to the 1850 census of Tishomingo County,As expected, from the 1860 entry, John is seen here as 18 years of age and his reported place of birth is Tennessee.
This census identifies John's parents as Isham Puckett and Mary A. Puckett.The years of birth calculated for Isham and Mary are 1806 and 1812, respectively. Some researchers show John's middle name as Madison, which could be that of Robert M. Puckett as well.
The family Isham Puckett and Mary A. Page is identified in the book "The Roots and Some of the Brances of The Pucket Family Tree" by Christine South Gee.
A rough family tree for William P. Puckett looks like this:
Isham Puckett
Mary Ann Puckett (Page)
John M. Puckett
Lavica (?)
William P. Puckett
This information suggests Robert M. Puckett is related to William P. Puckett due to their proximity seen in the 1870 census.The actual relationship has not been worked out at the time of this forum post.I speculate William is Robert's nephew meaning that Robert and John are brothers.
Again, until proven, this simply remains as tantalizing speculation.
