John or James?

As a child I saw the Roots and Branches of Puckett family tree book, which said our part of Puckett family is french, Pouquet, and the Brazzell family was also in this book. My dad died young and I do not know what happened to this book, nor do I know much about my dad's family. His father was John Turner Puckett married to Emily Brazzell, lived in Flat, Texas near Gatesville. He had two brothers in Gatesville, Ollie (Oliver) and I don't know the other name. John Turner's father owned land near Brownwood, TX. I just want to know his name and wife's name, and any other info. Thanks. Linda Puckett Bertram

(Research):Where abouts in the Dallas Texas Area - Collin County - Tarrant County? Have you done a search on the 1920 Census? I am interested because not only do I have Puckett family roaming around that area, I have lost a bunch of my "Brown"s there too. The Puckett and Brown connection came to Collin/Dallas/Tarrant/Rockwall County areas just as fast they could gather their belongings and move after the civil war. The Pucketts came from Union Parish, Louisiana and the Browns from somewhere maybe Tennessee. Please contact me at jlddn@hal-pc.org

His physical condition is "not very good." He says he surrendered on May 9, 1865 "on account of war ending" in the State of Louisiana. He says he served for two years and 13 days.

Notes:

Noel's death certificate says his mother was Mary Elizabeth Wilson. Mary's death certificate says her father's name was Wilkerson. Nettie's death certificate simply says Mollie. I didn't find anything that says Pollock. It's possible that she was previously married. There is a C Wilkerson in Bienville Parish in 1870 who has a daughter named Mary E, born circa 1854, AL.
At the end of 1922, she claimed to be 75, making her born in '47 unless she was anticipating her next birthday, making it '48. On census records, she is 29, 51, 62, 72 and 82. Her death certificate gives 1859 but I believe 1848 is probably correct.

"I have lost my mate
My sorrows grate
I am once more left a lone
no tongue can tell the grief
i feel while on earth i rom
My race is run
My dayes dun
My sun is all most gone down
My hope is bright beyound
will shine brighter on the resurction morn

Jasper is a farmer. Someone at FamilySearch says this was Beat 1, Jasper County.

Jasper married Lydia ROGERS on 9 Jul 1851 in , Drew, Arkansas, USA. Lydia (daughter of John Peter ROGERS and Nellie ???) was born in 1831 in , , Alabama, USA; died after 1859. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Perhaps they both died in a short amount of time? Perhaps she remarried and I just can't find her. Mary was living with her aunt and uncle by 1870 and Ella was with same aunt in 1880. Perhaps she died when Ella was born.
