    Generation: 1

    1. 1.  Orrie William HAMILTON was born on 30 May 1891 in Colorado Springs, Colorado (son of William T.S. HAMILTON and Mary Anne PUCKETT); died on 17 Dec 1985 in San Diego, CA.

      Notes:

      Grandparents Wolfe and the three girls visited Orrie in So. Calif, probably San Diego, in the summer of 1942. Mom (Ina Wolfe) and Aunt Mildred Wolfe tell much the same story. According to Mildred," They had four children and his wife was very
      nice. She thought we were very primitive -which was very true- but she was nice about how she suggested things. She gave me my first razor and suggested that I shave under my arms! Can you imagine a high school graduate not knowing people did
      that. She also invited me to stay with them to go to University near there. Of course with out-of-state fees it was totally out of the question, but I always remembered her kindness.

      Orrie married Louise Matilda EBELING on 12 Dec 1919. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

      Notes:

      His name is listed as Alleniah A. Puckett on his son Jon's death certificate. Grandpa Asa Wolfe wrote it down as Allenias on the family photo. I have also seen people writing it as Allen N or Allen Nias.

      On his homestead application in 1893, he wrote that he was 60 years old and wrote his name as Allen N Puckett.

      According to Ina Wolfe, Allen Puckett was ostracized by his family after he chose to not become a priest.

      According to Uncle John Wolfe,"I remember Dad (Asa Wolfe) telling about his granddad Puckett being a healer. He said he saw a man being carried into the Puckett parlor on a stretcher, and he walked out carrying the stretcher. He told
      severalother stories in the same frame but not so vivid. There were secret words to transfer the healing power, to the eldest son of the eldest son. Every other generation skipped. Dad was not eligible --not a Puckett.

      Do you (Ina Wolfe) remember stories of Dad relating to healing? H seemed reluctant to talk about such because we Moderns did not accept it. We rejected the wisdom of the ancients."

      In the 1860 census, Allen is living with his 52 year old mother. It looks like an older married brother is living next door and a Courtney family living two doors down in the next page of the census.

      On his homesteading application in 1893 he wrote his name as Allen N Puckett.

      Allen married Rebecca COURTNEY on 13 Dec 1863 in Marshall, Highland Co., Ohio. Rebecca was born on 28 Feb 1838 in Marshall, Highland County, Ohio; died on Nov 11, 1905; was buried in Indianola Cemetery. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
