John Puckett was the son of Cheatham Puckett and Agness LNU.  Cheatham Puckett was the son of the original Douglass Puckett.  Cheatham Puckett lived at various times in Prince Edward Co, VA, Buckingham Co, VA and Davidson Co, TN.  John Puckett lived in the western part of Davidson Co, TN, which became Cheatham Co, TN in 1856.

Elizabeth Puckett, born 1800 - nothing further known.

Parly Puckett, born 1802, may be a transcription error for Polly, a common nickname for Mary.  Nothing further known.
