  • Notes 
    • 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
      (See The Red Letter Edition, Identity in Doubt or Unknown section to connect him to Samuel)
