Notes:

The birth/death dates on his stone don't add up correctly. The stone shows his death date as Jan 2, 1872 and the age at death clearly shows 85 yrs. That would make his birth year 1787, not 1803 as Vermont Vital Records record. Some more research needs to be done on this memorial.

There are some problems with these records. According to the Vermont Vital Records he has a son Royal R Puffer on 31 Jul 1870 with his 3rd wife Ann Eliza Wilder. Ethan couldn't have died in 1862 of wounds and have a son in 1870. More research needs to be done
