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

• death certificate: 14 Dec 1925; J I Sparks, Frio Co, Tex,

Notes:

See The SPARKS QUARTERLY, September, 1989, Whole No. 147, pg 3471:
"John Sparks, son of Willoughby and Polly Sparks, was born about 1848 in Tennessee. He served in Company D (Lt. Spruell's Company) 35th Regiment Texas Cavalry, Confederate States Army during the Civil War, and after his death, his widow received a pension from the state of Texas for his service.
After returning from the military service, John Sparks married Rebecca A. ["Becky"] Brown on December 29, 1871, in Limestone County, Texas. She was born on November 25, 1855, in Bienvielle Parish, Louisiana. John died on December 13, 1925, in Limestone County, and Becky died on March 6, 1953. According to the 1880 census of Limestone County, they had four children; there may have been other children born to them later.
- m. 29 DEC 1871 in Limestone, TX"

There is a great deal of argument about John's birthdate since, if he was born in Texas prior to statehood, Willoughby's descendants are eligible for DRT or SRT. The census records report 1844-1853, in Texas or Tennessee and his headstone says 1847. His death certificate gives Oct 1844 in Limestone County. John's birth is, so far, the only indication of Willoughby's residence before 19 Feb 1846 when Texas became a state. I don't believe John was born that early. Bailey was born in 1847 and I belive john was born in 1849.

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.

• death certificate: 21 Feb 1934; Mr E Puckett of Gouldbusk

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.
