|
| 28429 | Was born about 1635. He lived in Mendon (Braintree) until after the birth of his second son. About 1666, he made his home in Mendon, Worcester County, MA. Matthias Puffer was one of the thirteen persons ordered to be settled in the plantation of Nipmug, later called Mendon, in September, 1663, and in 1671-2 he was a selectman of Mendon. He was one of a committee "Deputed by the towns of Dedham and Mendon to Run the Lyne between them" in 1669. At a town meeting Oct. 18, 1674, the town of Mendon chose Puffer "to goe to Natick to fech Asnawaket up for to shew us the bounds of the land that he sold to Moses Paine and Peter Brackett and all so gave him full power to act in the behalf of the Town as if themselves were present." "A tract of land eight miles square was purchased for L24, and a deed of April 22, 1662, was signed by Anawassanauk, Quashamait, Nanconet and Upanboquin. Matthias Puffer had a thirty acre lot, on its northeast corner being "A greate Rocke with A Springe running from under it into Muddy Brooke." (The Deadham Historical Register, Vols 13-14) At a general town meeting May 6,1675, the town sold to Matthias Puffer a tract of land lying between John Bartlett's house lot and the mill, and also twenty acres of land in some other place where he shall choose, "and for the said tracts of Land Mathias pufer doth Ingage to care one and to manigge the work of the towne In settelling the bounds and preambulations of the said town att the generall Court or Courts as ned may Require untill it be seteled unto us by the honered Court and all so to pay and bare all the Charges that may be demanded or mabe nedfull or necessary upon the said town from all dewes or demand upon the said Acount." "Granted to Mathyas Puffer Tenn Acores of land and twenty five more of a cores on the south side of the runlett that Runs downe at the End of his house lott on the right hand or side of the old fotte path." His home lot was about one mile south of the present post office in Mendon. On what part of it his building stood no records or reliable traditions indicate. It is positively certain, however, that the Swandale Cemetary is situated on what was once part of the Puffer house lot. As the valuable and attractive spring, now or lately owned by W.S. Wilcox, was near by, it is quite possible that the Puffer house stood on a spot now included in the cemetery. Dr. Metcalf thought that the locations of the Puffer house was marked by an old cellar hole, which had be pointed out to him forty years before he published his book. But Dr. Loring Puffer and others who have studied the matter since then are satisfied that this was not the location, though it is a spot of historic interest, for it is now understood to be the place where the first murder was committed in Mendon. The victim was Mrs. Thomas Sanford and the house stood in the pasture now or lately owned by Willard S. Wilcox a little southeast of the Daniel Thurber house, now or lately occupied by C. Austin Fletcher. Thomas Sanford formerly owned the Austin A. Taft place, buying it about 1713 of Deacon Peter Holbrook, but he sold it for a long time before the murder and bought the place first mentioned. Puffer was built on this site. The first house was destroyed by the Indians at the beginning of King Philip's War. M.M.A. writes in the Milford Journal, Aug. 19, 1901: "Mr. Puffer's house-lot extended from the now Providence and Worcester road to this spring (on the Wilcox place) and as no other house-lot extended farther than Muddy Brook and the Puffer house-lot only in a narrow strip of land just to reach the spring, it would seem that the object of Mr. Puffer in asking to have this special piece of land set off to him as that he might enjoy this beautiful spring of running water for his family use. This would not be convenient if his house was at the west end of this house-lot across Muddy Brook with a third of a mile to travel and a swelling brook to ford. Our records, so far as found, make mention of Matthias Puffer's house in two different places. In both it is more probable that its location was at or near the spring than at the extreme west end of his house-lot, where, evidently, his second house was built, he perhaps not feeling that he could again locate where the blood of his wife and son had been so ruthlessly spillied. "That Matthias Puffer did return to Mendon after King Philip's War is shown by an agreement made by him with the town of Mendon Jan. 9, 1684, to rebuild the Benjamin Albee corn mill (which stood near where Lewis B. Gaskill now lives) and maintain said mill and provide it with a miller for the term of twenty years." The first victims of King Philip's war in MA were the wife and son of Matthias Puffer, killed by Indians at Mendon July 10 or 14, 1675. The event has been commemorated by a suitable monument at Mendon, inscribed with a list of the victims. After this massacre the inhabitants returned to Braintree, Weymouth and other older towns the Indians burned, Mendon the following winter. After the war, about 1780 (sic 1680 ), when some of the inhabitants had returned to the desolate village, a complaint was made to the General Court because Puffer had not returned to help built up the settlement again. To the Court he made answer: "To the Honored Counsil Now Sittinge in Boston, The humble petition of Matthias Puffer Humbly sheweth That whereas your petitioner hath been Complained of for being absent from Mendon to ye discourgement of those that remaine, my answer is that I at first departed with ye consent of the Town, provided I carried away the Widow Gurney (whose husband is thought to have another victim of the massacre) at my own charge which I accordingly performed and since the Majors warrant to summon me and the rest thither againe I have returned thither againe and have ben helpful t o them by procuring them ammunition and otherwise. Indeed I have been forced to return to Braintree to take care of my children that are left. "My wife was slaine by the barbarous Indians and my eldest son; several of the best of my cattell killed; to maintain the garrison many more of them, I have left; my estate lost; my condition is desolate and I am not in ye capacity that others are whose families are not broken, I humbly beseech the Honored Councill to consider my case & not expose my poore children to ruin for I have not estate to maintain my children without my labour and care, to him that is in affliction pitty should be showed. "I think my case is the case of the widow if not worse. My humble petition is that I may be suffered to remaine at Braintree that I may be a succor to my children which else will be exposed to ruin and your petitioner shall ever pray, Matthias Puffer." After living at Dedham for a time, he finally settled in Dorchester. His farm was in that part of town afterwards incorporated as Stoughton. He was surveyor of highways at Dorchester in 1702 and tyhingman in 1705. He joined the church at Milton Nov. 12, 1693. He deeded 120 acres of the 340 acres that he bought in 1696 of James Foster to his son John. His house was the next north of the Doty tavern. It was enlarged and repaired about 1810 by John Davenport. In 1879 it was the oldest house in Canton. He deeded it to his son Jonathan Puffer. He died at Dorchester, May 9, 1717. His will was dated April 23, 1714, proved June 24, 1717. He left to his wife Mary a third of the real estate and ten pounds in money and bequeathed also to his sons John, James, Jonathan and Eleazar and daughters Hester Sumner and Abigail Crane. Jonathan was executor. In the will the name is spelled Puffar. He signed by mark, which was an old English or Geman capital "M". Will "In the Name of God Amen April the Twenty Third One Thousand Seven hundred and fourteen I Matthias Puffar of Dorchester in the County of Suffolk in Her Majesty's Province of MA Bay in New England yeoman having by the Goodness and patience of God lived to Old age-but being in perfect mind and memory thanks to be god for it, therefore calling to mind the Mortality of Body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to dye Doe make this my Last Will and Testament That is to Say Principally and first of all I Give and recommend my Soul into the hands of God that give it and my Body I recommend to the Earth to be buried in Decent and Christian manner at the Discretion of the Executor nothing Doubting but at the General Ressurection I shall receive the same again by the Almighty Power of God, and as touching such worldly Estate wherewith I hath pleased God for to Bless me in this life I Give Demise and Dispose of the Same in the following manner & form Imprimis I Give and bequeath to Mary Puffar my dealy beloved wife after my Decease the income of one Third of my Estate and Ten pounds in money to be paid to her by my Executors out of my moveable Estate Item I have and bequeath unto my well beloved son John Puffar one halfe of my Meadow lying in the foul meadows and no more because he has sufficient portion already.

He married, third, at Milton, May 14, 1697, Mary Crehore, probably thew idow of Teague Crehore of Milton. From Canton Mass. Historical Society, Canton Bicentennial Book, Chapter 1 "Looking east from the bridge over 128, we can make out the Davenport House over the southeast edge of the highway's cloverleaf. Built in 1711 , this is the oldest house still standing in Canton (the Fenno House was the oldest until its relocation to Sturbridge Village in the 1940's). Jonathan Puffer erected the house with the assistance of the Ponkapoag Indians using cedar from the Ponkapoag bogs. (Ed note. Puffer Genealogy states that Matthias was the builder, not Jonathan, his son. DMC) John Davenport purchased the house in 1717. The house would remain in his family for 183 years until 1900. It then passed to their relatives, the Farringtons, who occupied the home until 1924 when they moved to a new house up on Route 138. The house was sold to the Homans family who greatly enlarged it. The wing which is visible from Route 128, is such an expansion and is known as the ballroom. The house is unique in that many of its original features are still intact, including a fireplace with beehive oven." From Daniel T.V. Huntoon's "History of The Town of Canton, Massachusetts (1893) John Davenport appears as a lessee on the Indian land, May 30, 1705, in connection with Peter Lyon. There is no evidence that he ever resided on his land. He was a Milton man, and lived in the old house in the rear of the mansion of Isaac Davenport, which was occupied by Samuel, father of Nance, until his death, Dec. 6, 1793. John died there in 1725. His son John was born in 1695, and purchased his estate from Jonathan Puffer in 1 717. The house, situated down the lane running easterly on Cherry Hill, has ever since been owned and occupied by the Davenport family. Tradition asserts that the Indians greatly helped in the building of this house . It probably was erected about 1711, for that year Jonathan Puffer was " allowed liberty to get one load of clapboards and two loads of cedar bolts from the common swamps." -- MERGED NOTE ------------ Was born about 1635.

Huntoon's "History of The Town of Canton, Massachusetts (1893) John Davenport appears as a lessee on the Indian land, May 30, 1705, in connection with Peter Lyon. There is no evidence that he ever resided on his land. He was a Milton man, and lived in the old house in the rear of the mansion of Isaac Davenport, which was occupied by Samuel, father of Nance, until his death, Dec. 6, 1793. John died there in 1725. His son John was born in 1695, and purchased his estate from Jonathan Puffer in 1 717. The house, situated down the lane running easterly on Cherry Hill, has ever since been owned and occupied by the Davenport family. Tradition asserts that the Indians greatly helped in the building of this house . It probably was erected about 1711, for that year Jonathan Puffer was " allowed liberty to get one load of clapboards and two loads of cedar bolts from the common swamps." | PUFFER, Matthias (I13969)

They named Martha the Indian name of Winona for the first girl child; just as later they named her brother Ed, Chuskee for the first boy child's name. Ingebord was tiny and pretty and the Indians liked to watch her work and take care of her little white baby. They would stand in clusters by the windows to peek in. They spread their heavy shawls over the windows in order to be able to see inside better. Ingebord would finally have to motion them away because they shut off so much light and darkened the room. | SIVERTSEN, Martha (I24353)

He enrolled August 3, 1846 a t Keytesville, Missouri, and was mustered into service August 9, 1846 a t Fort Leavenworth as a private, 2nd Regiment, MTD Rifleman. He was hon orably discharged on September 25, 1847, at Fort Leavenworth, but no mo re is known. Transportation was slow and communication was poor. Eviden tly he was unable to come home to St. Joseph for some time. Perhaps Houston was so sick and injured that he was not able to get hom e to St. Joseph for a long time. Although Houston was released from the A rmy on September 25, l847, Thirsa didn't know it. Thirsa said she thoug ht he was dead. She married another, Elisha Brown, on October 15, 1847. N o one knows exactly how long it was until Houston came back to St. Jose ph to find her married, or about to be married.

| 28473 | While in Leiden, Francis and Hester were members of the Walloon church. In 1606, they left Leiden briefly for Norwich, England, where they joined another Walloon church, returning to Leiden in 1607, possibly for religious reasons. Between 1611 and 1618, the Cookes were members of the Pilgrim Separatist congregation in Leiden. The Pilgrim church was not established in Leiden until 1609, so Francis was living there long before their arrival and must have met up with and joined them afterwards. The two ships began the voyage on August 5, 1620, but the Speedwell "leaked badly" and had to return to Dartmouth to be refitted at great expense and time. On the second attempt, the two ships sailed about 100 leagues beyond Land's End in Cornwall, but the Speedwell was again found to be leaky. Both vessels returned to Plymouth where the Speedwell was sold. It would later be revealed that there was in fact nothing wrong with the ship. The crew had sabotaged it in order to escape the year long commitment of their contract. Eleven people from the Speedwell (including Francis and John Cooke) boarded the Mayflower, leaving 20 people (including Robert Cushman and Philippe de Lannoy) to return to London while a combined company of 103 continued the voyage. For a third time, the Mayflower "headed for the New World". She left Plymouth on September 6, 1620 and entered Cape Cod Harbor on November 11, 1620. The Fortune eventually followed, arriving at Plymouth Colony one year later on November 9, 1621. | COOKE, Francis MAYFLOWER (I2016)

He also wro te "Of Plymouth Plantation", chronicling the history of the Plymouth co lony, and the events that led up to their leaving England for Holland, a nd later to New England. Family History: 217 Genealogy Books There is another very interesting paper included in Mr. DRAKE'S w ork, which may be briefly noticed. It consists of extracts from the mu nicipal records of Leyden, in Holland, made by the Hon. HENRY C. MURPHY . Many English families took refuge in Leyden, and the list referred t o is a register of the births, marriages, and deaths which occurred the re among the exiles. It was from Leyden that many of the first settler s in New England, popularly known as the Pilgrim Fathers, came, and emb arking from English ports, sailed on board the ships MAYFLOWER, FORTUNE, ANN, and LITTLE JAMES. Among other notices contained in this list, are the following:--- WILLIAM BRADFORD, of Austerfield, Eng., m. Nov. 30, 1613, DOROTHY MAY, of Witzbuts, Eng.* The place here mentioned may be traced as Wisbeach, in Cambridgeshire. A f amily of the name of MAY certainly lived at Wisbeach at the time referr ed to. The foregoing extracts sufficiently demonstrate the nature of the Leyde n records. Further notices are unnecessary, but the list of those who e mbarked in the before-mentioned ships is of sufficient value to entitle i ts insertion in this place,though it must be remembered that it is not a bsolutely official.It is taken from the interesting work of the Rev. As hbel Steele, A.M., entitled "Chief of the Pilgrims, or the Life and Tim es of William Brewster." Philadelphia, 1857, pp. 401-410. * Both Bradford and Winslow sailed in the MAYFLOWER. LIST OF PASSENGERS IN THE MAYFLOWER; Being the names of those who came over first, in the year 1620, and we re the founders of New Plymouth, which led to the planting of the other N ew England Colonies. This list of their "names" and families, was pres erved by Governor Bradford at the close of his History, and is here pre sented in the order in which he placed them. The value of such an accu rate list cannot be too highly estimated. JOHN HOWLAND; man servant, afterwards married the daughter of JOHN TI LLIE, and had ten children. Mr. WILLIAM BRADFORD; their second Governor, author of the history of the Plymouth Colony, lived to the year 1657. DOROTHY, his wife; who died soon after their arrival. Governor BRADFORD left a son in England to come afterwards---had four children by a second marriage. Mr. ISAAC ALLERTON; chosen first assistant to the Governor. MARY, his wife; who died in the fist sickness. BARTHOLOMEW; son, married in England. REMEMBER and MARY, daughters. RE- MEMBER married in Salem, had three or four children. MARY married in Plymouth, had four children. Capt. MYLES STANDISH; who lived to the year 1656; chief in military affairs. ROSE, his wife; died in the first sickness. Capt. STAN - DISH had four sons living in 1650, by a second marriage. Mr. WILLIAM MULLINS, his wife, JOSEPH, a son; these three died the first winter. PRISCILLA, a daughter; survived and married JOHN ALDEN. ROBERT CARTER, servant; died the first winter. Mr. RICHARD WARREN; his wife and five daughters were left, and came over afterwards. They also had two sons; and the daughters married here. JOHN TILLIE, and his wife; both died soon after they came on shore. ELIZABETH, their daughter; afterwards married JOHN HOWLAND. FRANCIS COOKE; who lived until after 1650; his wife and other childr en came afterwards; they had six or more children. JOHN, his son; afterwards married; had four children. The wife of D. PRIEST, and children, came afterwards, she being the sister of Mr. ALLERTON. JOHN ALDEN; "a hopeful young man," hired at Southampton, married PRISCILLA MULLENS, as mentioned, and had eleven children. Accordingly he says of the Mayflower company: "These being about a hu ndred souls, came over in the first ship." Afterwards he adds: "Of the se one hundred persons who came over in this first ship together, the greatest half di ed in the general mortality, and most of them in two or three months' t ime." Omitting those two hired sailors who returned, and counting the person t hat died and the child that was born while on the passage as one passen ger, we have the exact number---one hundred of the Pilgrim Company, "who came over in t he first ship." And, as fifty-one died the first season, this enumerat ion makes good those other words of the historian, that,"the greater ha lf died in the general mortality." Bradford, at the age of 18, joined with the group of Separatists that f led from England in fear of persecution, arriving in Amsterdam in 1608. A y ear later he migrated with the rest of the church to the town of Leiden , Holland, where they remained for eleven years. In Leiden, Bradford t ook up the trade of a silk weaver to make ends meet, and also was able t o recover some of the estate in England that he had been left by his fa ther, to support himself and his new wife in Leiden. They had a son, J ohn, born about 1615-1617. | BRADFORD, Gov. William MAYFLOWER (I4803)

| 28553 | World War II Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. Born in Jefferson, Iowa and served as a Captain, flight commander for the 394th Bomb Group's 585th Squadron, U.S. Army Air Corps. On August 9, 1944 he led a formation of 30 B-26s in a mission to destroy the strategic enemy-held L'lsle Adam railroad bridge over the Seine in occupied France. During the approach, his plane's right engine received a direct hit from enemy antiaircraft fire and burst into flames. He remained composed and piloted the plane over the target to complete his mission. He then gave the order for his crew to parachute to safety from the doomed aircraft, while he held the descending plane in a steady glide. Just as the man jumped to safety, the fuel tank exploded. The aircraft sheathed in fire, went into a steep dive and was seen to explode as it crashed. His widow Evelyn accepted his posthumously-awarded Medal of Honor in 1945. | LINDSEY, Darrell Robbins (I43834)
