Notes:

He was a jeweler by trade and a Methodist in religion. He married twice. Only one name is known, Charlotte Strickland, the mother of Isaac and James and probably some of the other children.

This is the only Puffer in the vicinity, at that time, who could possibly have fathered Fanny. Asa went through 3 wives before he died in 1841 in NY. Supposedly he fathered over 15 kids by those wives. No records of them exist.

Update: 3/12/2016.. upon further inspection I think the two Asa's who died in Le Ray, NY are the same. That brings Asa's wives to five.

Update: 1/13/2023.. taking another look at this family, the 1830 Federal Census in Watson, NY shows 11 people total in the Asa Puffer family who lives there. This fits the total # of people in the family but not the dates. For instance the Census record shows the oldest male (father) is 40-49. This Asa would be 62-63 years old. His wife, Eliza, would be 29-30 and she fits (just barely). Most sons and daughters don't fit either. More research..

Asa married WILDER, Lydia in CA 1835 in NY. Lydia was born in CA 1790 in MA; died before 1870 in NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
