Logistics and details for a Richard Puckett, Jr., in Gwinnett Co, GA
Please use caution to avoid conflation. There was a Richard Manning (Sr.) b:1780 located in 1850 Diamonds, DeKalb Co, GA. He likely was in Newton Co, GA, in 1830. Diamonds was on the border of Gwinnett and Newton Counties at the time. For consideration, there were Mannings, Pucketts, and Nibletts living near each other in an area that was on the county lines of Gwinnett, DeKalb, and Newton counties. Several won land in the lottery while residing in "Maguires", which was in Rockbridge, in southern Gwinnett County. 1839 map
