  • Notes 
    • He settled at Canterbury, CT. The grave of Timothy is not marked. In one old graveyard, where tradition says Puffers were buried, there are perhaps twenty graves with common field stones at the head and foot, unmarked, and only four stones inscribed, two of these being illegible. Miss Hannah B. Baldwin states that Timothy died in 1781, and is buried at Shaftsbury, VT, where he was living with his son Timothy.

      Timothy Puffer was one of the original proprietors of Upper Ashuelot (Keene) (NH) in Sept 1734. He had lot 22. He was an assessor in Feb, 1738; on a committee on the town line in 1739. He was last mentioned at Keene in town records in 1742.
