Working mostly off memory, so probably a few mistakes - David Puckett married Frances Butler in Prince Edward Co, VA in 1771, she the daughter of Aaron Butler, mentioned in his will. David Puckett had at least 2 daughters, both married McDearman men in PE Co, VA (see PE marriage records), before David left.
David Puckett had a son and grandsons named Douglas, but unsure if he was the son or nephew of the original Douglass Puckett.
Tax records show David in PE Co, VA to about 1806, near Aaron Puckett and Edmund Puckett, his sons. Other Pucketts in PE in late 1700s/early 1800s include Peter Puckett (son of original Douglass, moved to Wilkes Co, GA by late 1780s), James & Joel Puckett (sons of Thomas Hobby Puckett of Lunenburg Co, VA).
David likely moved to Georgia since his sons were there. There was a PE Co, VA chancery case trying to sue David Puckett (1808-007) and Edmund Puckett, but it appears they had already left Virginia. David possibly the David Puckett with 1825 land grant in Franklin Co, GA.
Sons of David Puckett & Frances Butler:
Edmund Butler Puckett married Betsey Gray, 1812, Putnam Co, GA. 1830 census Jasper Co, GA. 1841 administrator bond, Stewart Co, GA for estate of Edmund Puckett by Elizabeth Puckett and David G Puckett.
Aaron Butler Puckett married Sarah H LNU, records in Pulaski Co, GA. Won land in Gwinnett Co, GA in one of the GA land lotteries. Widow Sarah on 1830 census Gwinnet Co, GA, next to son Edmund D[ouglass?] Puckett, one of several confusing Puckett lines in Gwinnett/Hall Co area. Edmund D Puckett had married Nancy Pulliam in Franklin Co, GA. Widow Sarah married next William Richardson 1848 in Gwinnett. By 1870, listed in Bartow Co, GA as Sarah H R Puckett, age 83, born in VA with son Ed[mund] D Puckett, age 60, GA. Sarah interred in Puckett Cemetery (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8752677/sarah-richardson), along with grandson Edmund Douglass Puckett Jr and others of this family.
John H Puckett married Tabitha Richards in Greene Co, GA, 1811. Family bible lists birthdates of 9 kids, who by their names are obviously descendants of David Puckett & Frances Butler. Bible link at ancestry (2 pages). Tabitha buried in Rockdale Co, GA (formed from Newton). John H Puckett on 1860 census of Newton Co, GA, then moved to Camp Co, TX where he died: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/43305509/john-h.-pucket
Douglass Puckett moved to Alabama. In the Rev War Pension Application for Edmund Butler of Monroe Co, AL for naval service, Douglass Puckett signed a statement in 1829 saying he had known Edmund Butler for 40 years. Douglass Puckett had BLM land grants in Dallas Co, AL, which he sold, one to a John B Butler. Apparently then moved to Newton (later Rockdale) Co, GA, near brother John H Puckett. Douglass Puckett apparently never married or had children. Buried in same cemetery as sister-in-law Tabitha Richards Puckett, and mistakenly attributed as her husband on find-a-grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/31756320/douglas-puckett
In several GA counties where these Pucketts lived, other Puckett lines wee in the same county, making it hard to separate these lines. The descendants of David Puckett & Frances Butler are a significant portion of the early Puckett records in Georgia.

This is just rough notes, but maybe enough for another researcher to follow.
