Notes - He removed to Leominster when a young man and served an apprenticeship under Bezaleel Gibson, and afterward engaged in business as a comb manufacturer at the old tavern stand on the corner of Exchange and West streets. Afterward he was in the wholesale peddling business. Subsequently he was a traveling salesman for various Boston firms. He returned to Leominster and in partnership with his son, under the firm name of J. Puffer & Co., was in business for a number of years, dealing in horn used by comb manufacturers. He was a staunch temperance advocate and a strong anti-slavery man. He and wife Dorothy deeded land to Gibson in 1832; he and wife Martha deeded land to Jacob, Jr., Bezaleel Gibson and Jacob, Jr., 1836-7 (W.D. 325-365; 339-351).
