28002 The Old Book says "Joseph Wilder, son of Judge Joseph, settled in Leominster and, with his brother, Caleb, introduced into this country the manufacture of pot and pearl ashes. The original ashery was at the outlet of the Chualoom Pond. They were very successful and the business became a source of industry and wealth to the whole country." He was a Colonel in the Militia and from 1762 to 1773, was Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in his father's stead. Married 1st July 4, 1733 (Deborah Joslin, 6238555) and married 2nd December 27, 1775 (Rebecca Locke, 122162786)  WILDER, Col. Joseph (I46696)

died at 3 months from a polyp on his heart 
George William Frederick III King of England (I56864)
 
28005 The passenger list of the Bevis, the ship on which he left England, is dated 2 May 1638 and states William’s age as 62, “they [had been] so me Dayes gone to sea. They landed probably at Boston (the point of all b ut a handful of Bay Colony arrivals) in June or July 1638 (the average o cean crossing took five to eight weeks). CARPENTER, William (I28252)
 
28006 The Pioneer resident was born in a log cabin when the country was very s parsely settled. She recalled walking four miles to school every day. W hen she was in school in the post-Civil War days, she remembered that t he "pupils divided up into 'Rebels' and 'Union's before a presidential e lection." PUFFER, Mary E. (I34854)
 
28007 The Puffer Genealogy book by Nutt is incorrect as to the location. SUMNER, Job (I13468)
 
28008 The Puffer genealogy book by Nutt is incorrect on her death year. It should be 1868, which could explain why he never picked up on her marriage to Nathaniel S. Rand. PUFFER, Clarissa (I19747)
 
28009 The Puffer Genealogy book by Nutt states she was married Oct 16 1779. I believe this was when their intentions were published, actually marrying 25 Feb 1780. DMC Family: TISDALE, Abijah / PUFFER, Miriam (F8961)
 
28010 The Puffer Genealogy book by Nutt, says she married Israel Longley. However all the records show he married a Mrs. Lucy Conant. This cannot be her then. CONANT, Lucy (I23432)
 
28011 The Puffer Genealogy gives her name as Miriam PUFFER, Mary Ann (I1630)
 
28012 The Puffer Genealogy is incorrect in her last name (Floyd, instead of Ford) Ed. Note. FORD, Lucinda (I21234)
 
28013 The Puffer Genealogy says 1791 for birth FERRY, Sally (I20248)
 
28014 The Puffer Genealogy says he died in Waterbury, CT PUFFER, Alphonso C. (I19807)
 
28015 The Puffer Genealogy states that he had two wives, Amy and Anna Hawes. I believe this is incorrect in that they are both the same woman. The dates do not match for a wife who was 'appointed admx. in 1758. HAWES, Anna (I18952)
 
28016 the record of the marriage of her son John shows her name as Ida ROPER, Sarah Ann (I38977)
 
28017 The record reads Puffer, Abigail, Mrs and Benjamin Pratt, 27 Apr 1763/ Family: PRATT, Benjamin Sr. / Abigail (F3565)
 
28018 The record shows she wasn't married "Nev" (never). So her marriage to Wilke must have happened after the census. PUFFER, Elizabeth Jane (I36163)
 
28019 the record shows the wife's name as "C Puffer" STREVELS, Henry I. (I23508)
 
28020 The record shows this is his 2nd marriage and that he is 41 years old, born in Waterloo, IA. His father is John Puffer. (Iowa Marriage Records, 1880-1940)

This is her 2nd marriage, she is 31 years old, born in Waterloo, IA. Her father is listed as M. Wood which is incorrect. She's the daughter of Edgar and Frederika Hopfe Utley. 
Family: PUFFER, John C. / UTLEY, Mae (F9038)
 
28021 The record states "Clarissa Puffer daughter of Capt. Samuel Puffer, and Joanah his wife died Jul 22nd 1799." This is the only Samuel Puffer whose wife is Joannah. PUFFER, Clarissa (I56265)
 
28022 The separation and subsequent divorce was based on a unique legal agreement between them. A 3 year separation was agreed to, during which, neither party was to say anything disparaging about the other. The agreement stipulated Mrs. Puffer be paid $75 a month during the 3 years and to receive $7000 at the divorce. The grounds for the divorce was "incompatibility". Family: HUNNICUTT, Rev. Charles Puffer / DWYER, Sarah Eleanor A. (F8258)
 
28023 The source for this marriage is the SSA and Claims Index, and is for the death of their daughter, Vera Maxine. The record clearly shows her parents are Ira A. and Helen A. Puffer. Nothing further is known of Ira. Family: PUFFER, Ira A. / PUFFER, Helen Alice (F14361)
 
28024 The SS Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007, lists her parents as Ira A. and Helen A. Puffer. Unable to locate these people. PUFFER, Vera Maxine (I24471)
 
28025 the statesman, see Sumner Genealogy. SUMNER, Hon. Charles (I6030)
 
28026 The stone was foil rubbed to get the information which differs from Nutt. PUFFER, Sarah J. (I22400)
 
28027 The title "Lion" was attached to him because of his flag or standard, a red lion rampant with a forked tail, on a yellow background, which became the Scottish coat-of-arms under his reign. William King of Scotland (I6336)
 
28028 The titles of King of Hungary and Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor stayed with the Habsbug line of succession until 1919 at the end of WWI. HABSBURG, Ferdinand I King of Bohemia and Hungary, Holy Roman Emperor (I54160)
 
28029 The tradition is that the Rebecca he married was either a sister of Edward Hilton, or a sister of Major Nicholas Shapleigh and a sister-in-law to Edward Hilton, who married (1) Jane Shapleigh and (2) Catherine Shapleigh SOUR: @S310@ PAGE: p. 37 ROBERTS, Thomas (I15846)
 
28030 The Tusculum popes were either descendants of or aligned with Theophylact and his family from Latium, near Rome. His descendants were so powerful in tenth-century Italy that the were known as the "pope makers." Through the sexual exploits of his daughters, Theodora and Marozia, the family controlled the papacy for much of the tenth century and the first half of the eleventh century.

Because of these women, this era has been called the "Pornocracy." 
Theophylact Count of Tusculum Count of Tusculum (I9100)
 
28031 The US Public Records Index, Volume 2 shows him living at 30 Hagan Stre et, Providence, RI. CARANCI, Erazio A. (I1739)

28036 The wedding was held in 'secret' and the Puffer family was unaware of the marriage until they heard of it in the newspaper. There was a stir over the fact that his wife, Amelia, was not part of the 'society' of the time. Family: PUFFER, Stanley Balcom Sr. / DEMARSH, Amelia Madeline Elizabeth (F8091)

PUFFER, Frances Bailey (I1220)
 
28048 There are 4 cemeteries in New Salem. BLODGETT, Levi (I10405)
 
28049 There are no individual stones to mark family members, just the outline of the family plot with "Puffer" engraved. PUFFER, Milton Job (I33227)
 
28050 There are qualifying Puffer families who live in VT at the time of her birth (1797) making her father's dob ca 1777 or earlier. Who is she? PUFFER, Sarah Turner (I39348)
 
28051 There are several stories of where Robert the Bruce might be buried. His heart was buried elsewhere, per his request.. The Abbey where the rest of his body was laid was looted during the Protestant Reformation including his monument in the Abbey. In 1818 a decision was made to build another abbey on the site. Many archeological items were found including a burial vault in the same location of the old abbey's choir (in front of the high altar). There was only one coffin in it. The lead shroud had a crude shape of a crown at the head. The vault was closed then until the walls of the new abbey were completed (1819) and then opened again so a proper scientific review of the coffin could be accomplished. The skeleton was intact and removed and examined, and found to be in good condition. A plaster cast of the skull was made (there are several copies extant). The man was between 5'11 and 6'. The sternum was sawn down the middle (presumably to remove the heart). The decision was made to display the skeleton to the public and some pieces of the skeleton were not returned when it came time to re-lead his remains. Then 1500 lbs of hot pitch were poured over them sealing the coffin forever. The location of the coffin is just below the pulpit of the new abbey and a modern brass effigy is inlaid in the red marble covering. BRUCE, Robert I King of Scotland (I49249)
 
28052 There are two marriage dates in the Town Records of Stow, MA, 1 an 1801 is the other one. Perhaps the 1800 one is an intention of marriage date. The records aren't clear. Family: MORSE, Joseph / PUFFER, Eunice (F7955)
 
28053 There are two stones for George E. Puffer. The original headstone is for George and Eva Currier Puffer, in Woodlawn Cemetery, Canisteo, NY. After Eva's death, George remarried to Dorothy M. Sampson (1914-1990) in 1976. He died shortly thereafter and a new stone was erected for him and Dorothy, in Greenwood Cemetery, Greewood, NY. That is why there is no death date on the original stone for George. PUFFER, George E. (I19866)
 
28054 There is a discrepancy between Nutt and Cutter/Adams in his death date. His memorial stone agrees with Cutter/Adams. MORSE, Samuel (I561)
 
28055 There is a family tradition that John and his brother William were orphans and came to this country from South Wales about 1644 with their mother's brother, William Stillman, and first settled in the New Haven Colony. GOODRICH, John (I15645)
 
28056 There is no evidence found that her name was Eunice. However, a Eunice Puffer had a son with William Wetherell, Jr. whose name was Pliny Wetherell Puffer. Most likely Pliny was b. out of wedlock. Eunice's brother was Pliny Puffer so it makes sense that she named him after her brother and her son's father. This is conjecture but it's the only way to make sense of Pliny Wetherell Puffer's birth record in the Vital Records of Norton, MA. PUFFER, Eunice (I42970)
 
28057 There is no evidence of a marriage. I believe their child, Flora Etta, was born out of wedlock and took the name Puffer from her mother's husband. GOULD, Ellis P. (I50862)
 
28058 There is no marriage records for her and Fred Noyes. It is likely that their son was born out of wedlock, hence his Puffer surname. PUFFER, Mary Elfleda (I16394)
 
28059 there is no proof he is the some of Silas and Sarah Ann Levalley Puffer. This is the only family that fits the dates and places. More research is needed. PUFFER, James Washington (I36208)
 
28060 There is no proof he is the son of Floyd Arthur Puffer. More research needs to be done PUFFER, Floyd Arthur Jr. (I44886)
 
28061 There is no proof he is their son, however this is the only family that fits the dates. More research is needed. PUFFER, Grover C. (I55460)
 
28062 There is no proof he was the son of Jabez and Harried M. Field Puffer, he is only listed in two census's one Federal (1860) and one state (NH). The dates and places fit his existing records and he is placed here for those reasons. More research is needed. PUFFER, Alonzo W. (I33051)
 
28063 There is no proof he was the son of Silas and Sarah Ann Levalley. But this is the only family in the area that fits for date and places.

There are no records of his marriage to Sally Deuel. Perhaps she was a common law wife? 
PUFFER, Silas (I44496)
 
28064 There is no proof she is the daughter of DeWillet Puffer. She's put here because of birth date and place. More research is needed PUFFER, Helen Maryjane (I57424)
 
28065 There is no proof that she is the daughter of Elon and Harried Parsons. She appears on the family oblisk headstone and the dates of birth correspond which is why I have placed her as their daughter. More research is needed. DMC 6/15/2020 Family: PARSONS, Elon G. / ROGERS, Harriet Jane (F20517)
 
28066 There is no proof that this is the Emma Puffer that married Julius Charier, 15 Mar 1876 in Casco, WI. But she is the only Emma that fits both time and place. PUFFER, Emma Sherry (I64343)
 
28067 There is no record of her parentage however, this is the only Puffer family in which she fits birth-wise. It is corroborated by the 1840 Federal Census for Readsboro, VT, where her husband, Ira Whitney, is listed and the dates for each category of household people fit. In addition her father, "T Puffer" (Tisdale), is listed right below Ira Whitney and those dates also fit. In conclusion Mary Ann doesn't fit with any other family and so she is put here. PUFFER, Mary Ann (I21924)
 
28068 There is no stone PUFFER, Rosa Christine (I32845)
 
28069 There is no town with that name in NY, yet the record is pretty clear LONG, Catherine (I24005)
 
28070 There is some confusion about her parentage. Some records show her as the daughter of Jacob and Hannah Haynes Puffer, who married Joseph Conant. Although the dates and places are similar I don’t believe they are the same person. PUFFER, Nancy (I15245)
 
28071 There is some confusion as to a 2nd marriage for Lucy. The Puffer Genealogy book doesn't show a marriage to Otis Stearns. It shows that she did marry a Coggswell with no children (Page 60).  No other marriages are shown for her.

Another Lucy Wilder born 6 Feb 1792, to Joel and Lucy Wilder makes it all the more confusing.

The case for her marriage to Otis Strearns isn't great.  And with another Lucy in the area with the same date minus the year, it is probably not this Lucy that married Otis Stearns.  Plus Lucy Wilder and Otis Stearns have a son named Joel Wilder Stearns, so that, to me, is pretty compelling it's this Lucy who is the wife of Otis Stearns. 
WILDER, Lucy (I19898)
 
28072 There is some confusion on his birth place. Some records show 'Epping, NH', some show 'Epping, ME'. His daughter's death certificate shows his birth place at Wolfesboro, NH. "Early Pleasant Families" shows Exeter, NH FRENCH, Sewell Worcester (I36918)
 
28073 There is some controversy over whether Garrett H. and Jared Isaac Puffer are the same person. The 1851 Federal Census seems to indicate that they are. There is no conclusive proof (yet) that this is so. I have continued to separate them (mainly due to the name of wives and birth dates). PUFFER, Garrett H. (I32684)
 
28074 There is some controversy over whether Garrett H. and Jared Isaac Puffer are the same person. The 1851 Federal Census seems to indicate that they are. There is no conclusive proof (yet) that this is so. I have continued to separate them (mainly due to the name of wives and birth dates). PUFFER, Jared Isaac (I37965)
 
28075 There is some disagreement on his death date/place. Some families have him dying and buried in Oregon. However, these records are for a William S. Keene son of Alfred Carter and Nancy Neal Keene, who came to Oregon in 1844. This is not the same man. KEENE, William Soule (I53572)
 
28076 There is some discrepancy in his birth dates PUFFER, Benjamin Wilson (I15985)
 
28077 There is some mystery about this Walter L. Puffer. He is found in the 1940 Federal Census as the 'son' of Roscoe H. and Emma M. Puffer. However there's another Walter L. (Lester) Puffer, born 1921-22, who appears to be different. The WWII draft records show this Walter Lester as related to Roscoe Puffer. But the Roscoe Puffer shown on the form is really this Walter's uncle, Harry Roscoe Puffer.
More research needs to be done. 8/10/23 DMC 
PUFFER, Walter L. (I6893)
 
28078 There is some mystery regarding Sewell and his family. The Family French Association has Barnes French as his father and other sources show a Freeman French as his father and Eunice Worcester as his mother. Places of birth are also confusing as some family members state he was born in Epping, NH and others (and himself) in Columbia, ME. To further complicate matters there is a section of Columbia, ME called "Epping". I have done extensive research on Sewell and have no conclusions as to his true parentage. (DMC 10/24/2022)
UPDATE: Apr 23, 2023 I found an old "Rememberance" book for his daughter, Ursual. This book was given to her in Epping New Hampshire in Apr 1839 and is proof that it was Epping, NH, not Epping, ME that the family is from. (DMC)

According to the 1840 Federal Census, he was a living in Turner, Maine and had a wife, one son 15-19 (Rowland?), one son 5-9 (Talbot?), one son under 5 (Freeman?).

On Sept. 18, 1843 he bought 300+- acres for $250 from Elijah L. Hamlin, Isaac Farrow, Abner Coburn, and Arnold F. Wells. (David M. Caranci has the original deed.)

According to the 1850 census, he was a laborer and born in New Hampshire. (Ed. Note: I've been unable to locate Sewell French in NH or his ancestry!)

On July 7, 1851 he bought about 1/2 acre for $120 from Lucy S. and Roger W.E. Brown. (David M. Caranci has the original deed.)

On Sept. 27, 1851 he bought ten acres of land for $100 from Joseph Crandon of Columbia, Me. (David M. Caranci has the original deed).

On Oct 12 1854 he sold one pair of brown and white, two year old steers for $50. (David M. Caranci has the original deed.)

According to the 1860 census, he was a farmer and born in NH .

According to the 1870 census, he was a farmer.

According to the 1880 census he was a farmer; his father was born in MA, mother born in ME. He listed his occupation as 'farmer', and his wife as 'keeping house'.

FRENCH, Sewell Worcester (I36918)
 
28079 There is some question about this marriage. It's not found anywhere else in records and there's some type of crossout of the letter "M" and a strange symbol next to it. PUFFER, Lulu M. (I24322)
 
28080 There is some question as to her parentage. Some records show her as daughter to the Puffers, others show her last name as Williams, an adopted daughter of Roger S. and Felicia Henderson Williams PUFFER, Joy Ann (I42984)
 
28081 There is some recent speculation that George is the "real" monarch of England due to the supposed illegitimacy Edward IV, from whom the Windsor line descends. HASTINGS, Sir George 4th Earl of Huntingdon (I53369)
 
28082 There may be confusion between this couple and Joseph's nephew, also Joseph, who married Abigail Robinson 5 Aug 1712 at Dover,NH VARNEY, Joseph (I37441)
 
28083 There was a teacher in Chicago named Patsy Puffer (1938), could this be her? PUFFER, Patricia Dorthey (I36475)
 
28084 There's a descripancy with his birth day and the Puffer Genealogy book by Nutt. PUFFER, Josiah (I21302)
 
28085 There's a discrepancy between the date of birth in records and his stone. CROSSMAN, Zara Mann (I24203)
 
28086 They are first cousins Family: PUFFER, Stephen Haynes / HAYNES, Susan (F5125)
 
28087 They are not married yet. She lists her marital status as widowed but her husband, Charles, is still alive. Family: TAYLOR, William H. / PUFFER, Ada Effie (F21227)
 
28088 They both were attending University of Alberta at the time of their marriage. Family: PUFFER, Dr. Karel Thomas / SUTER, Dr. Frances Anita Ph.D. (F11213)
 
28089 They emigrated to OH 1820-25, settling with several other families at Keene, OH, naming it for the county seat of Cheshire County, NH. They later settled on their farm "Bonadel" four miles north of Keene, where the died. LAWRENCE, Jesse (I39705)
 
28090 They had 11 children RUGG, Abigail H. (I17020)

28114 This comrade was one of the choice men of Company G. To know him was to love him. His royal good fellowship, his overflowing good cheer, his pleasant address, won all his comrades. He combined marked business ability with intense activity which won him success. Few got on in life better than he. He was quick to help a comrade whose necessities were greater than his. He sought them out and relieved them. As a soldier whatever duty was assigned him he did well and at Gettysburg he won the admiration of all his comrades by his unflinching courage and zeal. Nobody could question his patriotism. When duty called he did not shrink at sacrifice. He left his wife and children and a business that demanded his presence to succeed and entered the ranks with no ambition beyond serving faithfully his country. He had however, no strong hope that the Union armies would succeed in crushing out the rebellion. He would often remark, "The rebellion will never be put down by fighting." His sister and his brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Wells of Hutchinson Kan., have furnished me the following facts. Charles F. Ovitt, son of Daniel Ovitt and Bazy Fox, was born in Fairfield, Vt. November 12th, 1828. He learned industry and economy and acquired steady habits on his father's farm. But the farm did not content him. With a good business education he entered the mercantile life and began business in Bakersfield before the war, January 1, 1854, he married Matilda E. Foster. The fruit of their happy marriage were three children, Charles L., Eddie D., and Wesley Ray. Eddie died in early childhood. On retiring from the war he resumed work as merchant in Bakers field. His army comrade, H. H. Wells, was for a time associated with him. After a few years he left Bakersfield and settled in West Enosburg. Here he kept a store and ran a grist mill. Here he spent the rest of his life and accumulated a handsome property. He died at his home June 20th, 1887, after a long and painful illness from a complication of diseases contracted while in the army, yet he never asked for a pension and often said there were many others that needed it more than he. His wife and two sons still survive him. His sons are every way worthy such a parentage and training as they enjoyed. They are successful and respected business men in Enosburg and worthy members of the church. Charles is owner and manager of the telephone at Enosburg Falls and lives there; Wesley has inherited the mill and store of his father; both are married. Mrs. Ovitt still resides at West Enosburg with and near her children, enjoying a serene old age, happy in the memory of "ideal husband and father, a perfect moral character and a devoted Christian." Our Comrade's life long friend, W. O. Brigham, says of him, "I am intimately acquainted with him and prized him very highly. I usually tented with him and marched in the same rank. He was fearless in battle, generous and kind to all in need of help, ready to divide the last crust with those in need, but he had no patience with those who sought to shirk duty." His keen sense of justice was illustrated in this incident: "In one of our regimental drills early in our service, we were thrown into confusion and our guns were not in line. The commanding officer became very angry and cursed and swore at us and declared "we hadn't brains enough to make a monkey of." Ovitt was very indignant at such treatment. He determined to beard the lion in his den. He sought out the officer and told him, "The soldiers were not accustomed to such treatment at home" and in strong terms expressed his disapproval. The officer saw his mistake and apologized. "On the third day when Pickett began his charge we were ordered to move forward and lie down behind some rail breastwork which we had previously built and in this protected place load and fire, lying down. Charles was the first to jump to his feet and said, 'Boys, we are here to whip the rebels, so let's go about it.' He stood erect, loading and firing. Inspired by his example the whole company without command sprang to their feet and poured a deadly fire into the enemy's flank." Comrade Wells gives this incident: "After the enemy had surrendered, Colonel Randall called on 20 volunteers from the regiment to go and take in the prisoners. This was dangerous work for after the charge of the enemy failed the rebels opened upon us with their artillery. Ovitt was the first to volunteer. I was second, and 12 of us went and gathered them up. Upon this the Colonel ordered the 2nd Company to guard the prisoners to the rear. Upon that Lieutenant Searles of Company I ordered his company to go. Then I said, 'Your company does not happen to be the 2nd Company to-day.' Then Lieutenant Searles asked the colonel which company, by letter, he meant. He replied, 'Company G are the ones that took the prisoners.' Finally the honors were shared by both companies." In early life Charles joined the Methodist Episcopal church and continued an active and constant member till his death. Thus far his children have followed his example.

28115 This could be Canaan, NY. The 1850 Federal Census record is shown with what appears to be a "Y" over the "H" in NH. If so, could this be Pamela Puffer, wife of Daniel Turner Puffer? If so then why the two different grave stones? PUFFER, Pamelia (I36531)

28120 This family appears in the 1875 Kansas State Census and nowhere else. The State Census records shows the family came to Kansas from Missouri, where two of the children were born. He is put here with the Samuel Puffer family as they are the only Puffers that fit in date/time. It's possible their last name is Peiffer or some derivative and not connected to Samuel. More research is needed.

William is a shoemaker in 1875, KS

28191 This man was active in a humble way during the Revolutionary war and be fore. On the stirring night of Dec. 16, 1773, when a band of men disgu ised as Indians and armed with axes went aboard ships in Boston harbor a nd unloaded their cargoes of taxed tea into the salt water, William, th en sixteen, and a number of other young men, went along with the men an d participated in the exploit. At the age of 18, about the last of September 1775, William accompanied G eneral Arnold's expedition to Quebec during the Revolutionary war throu gh the Maine wilderness. Starting at Fort Western (now Augusta) and yo ung William Dorr and his pet dog were with the little army. About thre e miles below the starting point as the various detachments of the army c ame up, the men stopped to refresh themselves at a beautiful spring, wh ich bubbled from the hills by the banks of the Kennebec River. Among t he rest, William was very much fascinated with the spot, and in his ent husiasm declared to his comrades that when the war was over he was goin g back to Boston and get married, and bring his wife up to that spring a nd settle down. He did so and he and his wife Jane lived there while s ix of his nine children were born. The little city of Hallowell now st ands there. In 1788 he founded the town of Hallowell (a suburb of Augus ta, Maine) at a spot on the Kennebec River he had greatly admired on hi s earlier expedition to Canada. In terrible march starvation repeatedly stared them in the face. Their e xtremity became so great that William's dog was killed and eaten by his m ess. William himself kept a small bone from his faithful friend's leg a s a memento, and when his hunger became unbearable he would draw it fro m his pocket and hold it in his mouth, declaring that he drew strength f rom it. An aide to General Montgomery, he fought on the Plains of Abraham and w as subsequently captured and imprisoned on a ship in the St. Lawrence R iver, suffering many hardships.

Early this morning set out for the head of Chaudiere river. This d ay we suffered greatly by our bateaux passing by us, for we had to wade w aist high through swamps and rivers and breaking ice before us. Here w e wandered around all day and came at night to the same place, we left i n the morning, where we found a small dry spot, where we made a fire, a nd we were obliged to stand up all night in order to dry ourselves and k eep from freezing. We continued so till next day when a bateaux came u p and took us across the river. 30th.

Here the Captain with the ablest men pushed forward, in order t o get provisions to send back for the sick. Nov 1st. This morning started very early and hungry and little satisfi ed with our night's rest. Traveled all day very briskly, and at night e ncamped in a miserable situation. Here we killed a dog and we made a g reat feast without either bread or salt, we have been 4 or 5 days witho ut any provisions, and we went to sleep that night, a little better sat isfied (Probably William Dorr's dog). Our distress was so great, that d ollars were offered for bits of bread, as big as the palm of one's hand . 2nd. This morning when we arose, many of us were so weak, that we coul d hardly stand, and we staggered about like drunken men. However we ma de shift to get our packs on, and marched off hoping to see some inhabi tants this night. A small stick across the road was sufficient to brin g the stoutest to the ground. In the evening we came in sight of the c attle coming up the riverside, which were sent by Col. Arnold, who got i n two days before. It was the joyous sight that ever I beheld, and som e could not refrain from crying for joy. We were told by the men, who c ame with the cattle, that we were twenty, miles from the nearest inhabi tants. Here we killed a creature, and we made a noble feast and some o f the men were so hungry, before the creature was dead, the hide and fl esh were on the fire broiling. 3rd. Marched this day 20 miles, wading several small rivers, some of t hem up to our middle and very cold. In the evening came in sight of a h ouse, the first we had seen for 41 days. 4th.

Took up our quarters along the riverside, until our troops behind c ould come up; here we stayed until the 13th. By this time all the men a live were coming up, several having perished with hunger in the woods. D uring our stay here, we took a midshipman, belonging to a frigate in th e harbor, who came on shore with others in a boat to carry away flour f rom a mill on our side of the river. The river is about one mile or so me better wide. At the city one 28 gun frigate and a sloop of war, wit h some merchantmen in the harbor. 13th. Crossed the river at night in long boats and canoes.

Marched up the river 20 miles to Point Aux Tremble, our ammuniti on being almost expended, and too scanty to attack the town with. Here w e joined by Gen. Montgomery with York forces from Montreal, who had tak en St. John's fort, Chambles and Montreal. In these places they took a g reat quantity of provisions, clothing, ammunition and cannon, with 950 p risoners. Remained here till 5th December, when we marched back to Que bec, and laid siege to the town. Continued the siege until the 29th, du ring which time we took several prisoners and cannonaded and bombarded e ach other both day and night. During these transactions the two men who h ad ever been left with Lt.

28192 This marriage date cannot be correct. I believe it to be a "1851" Family: PUFFER, Daniel Raymond / FARR, Susan L. (F5947)
 
28193 This marriage is confusing. According to the 1880 Federal Census he is married to Margarette Rebecca Brown (wid of Samuel Turner). Her children by her previous marriage are named as being step-children in the census. Earlier census records (1850-1870) show him married to Mary A. R. They have 6 children, the youngest born in 1852. So that would put his marriage to Mary A. R. ca 1850 and his marriage to Magarette Rebecca sometime after 1875. Family: PUFFER, George / BROWN, Maryann Rebecca (F18968)
 
28194 This marriage to a "Sally" is incorrect. There are no records of his marriage to anyone. Every census and death record shows he is single his whole life. I leave the marriage here until further research is done of his marriage, wife and child. DMC 10/1/2020 Family: PUFFER, Edwin / Sally (F2425)
 
28195 This name (or combinations) is not listed in normal Cherokee names listings, but is included here for further study SMITH, Sa-Wat-Chee (I47027)
 
28196 This name appears clearly in only one record, the birth record of his daughter Carrie L. Puffer. It shows clearly that it's spelled "Erving D.". However no other records of this name appear. And since his daughter Carrie L. has the exact same date of birth as the daughter of Alvin Davis Puffer, I merged these two individuals and their respective wives. PUFFER, Alvin Davis (I7995)
 
28197 This school was established in 1874 and was "to receive, care for, educate, and place whenever possible in family homes, all the dependant children of MI of sound mind and body, between the ages of two and twelve. In 1935 it was restricted to children with mild mental impairments. PUFFER, Lavere Evonne (I2668)
