• Notes

  Removed to Berkshire County, and later to Shaftsbury, VT., and finally settled in New York state. He was a soldier in the Revolution in Capt Samuel Law's company, Col. Benjamin Simonds's regiment (Berkshire Co.) 1777, at St. Croix; also in Capt. William Clark's company, Col. Benj. Simonds's regiment; marched from Gatesborogh to reinforce the army under Gen. Gates at Pawlet. In 1790 a Timothy Puffer was living in Ballstown, NY according to the federal census, and had nine in his family. Probably went to Swansey, NH. (A Timothy d. at Canterbury in 1805. Gravestone.) "Nearly across the road from the Cassabone farm, on the east side of West Line Road in a small field, is the grave of the wife of Timothy Puffer, the Innkeeper. This farm is now known as the Bull Farm. Puffer's Tavern had to be over into the town of Glenville as Puffer did not appear on the 1797 Excise tax-roll as receiving a license to dispense liquor beverages. Timothy Puffer had to be an affluent man as he was mentioned several times as holding many farms in the Blue Corners area in those days."
