Thank you, Joe. You have been so helpful.
If you come across any Puntch (spelled with the "t") in
or around Cherokee County, please keep me in mind. I am
particularly interested in a presence in the area prior
to 1860.
A relative has a hickory walkingstick with a white-tailed deer
antler handle that is dated l8l3. The name carved on the
walkingstick is spelled with the "t".
