I am seeking information on my great grandparents: William Grayson Elliott
and Mary J. Puckum Elliott. They lived in Capitola (Clara) Wicomico Co, MD
from circa 1840 to 1880s. My concern is no one seems to be researching the
name: PUCKUM. Was my ggrandmom a Nanticoke Indian? I have searched records
endlessly, and asked many people in this area about them ---but I have had
no luck. I have also searched for their buried grounds. I do know that
Messick Funeral Home did bury them in this area.
Mary had a brother named Algernon and her mother was Nancy Puckum (1850
census Wicomico Co).
William's mother was named Caroline Elliott (father unknown). They all lived
next door in Capitola (the muddy hole area). The Foxwell family name also
fits into the Elliotts. If anyone can help please email me at :
