Bruce, the Morgan County History Volumes I (1979) and II (2009) have almost nothing regarding the Civil War. There are a number of accounts of individuals murdered by "bushwhackers" but never any names attached to the perpetrators, or words regarding their sympathies if any. The 2009 volume has an every-name index, but no Puckett or Packett listed. In 1850, there was a probable brother William D. Puckett born ca 1828 MO in James Puckett's household, but don't find him in 1860. Sorry I can't help.
