He was an early settler in Canton, receiving from his father in 1691 the deed of 120 acres of land, bounded northeast by what is now the Milton line and northwest by the Great Blue Hills. This farm was in that part of Dorcester incorporated as Stoughton in 1726 and later as Canton. He was lieutenant of the military company; served on the committee to seat the meeting house, Nov 15 1717; was assessor in 1719. In 1705 he was constable at Ponkapoag. John Puffer and Benjamin Blackman took the deed of the oldest cemetery in Canton, March 7,1741, of Thomas Shepard. " Old Lieutenant Puffer" died Jan 16, 1750-1. The Canton history describes his headstone as "in sad condition"; it is broken so as to be almost illegible and some kind hand has set it up against the wall. It reads: " --ried the --uffer who die-- (1) 750 aged 85 -- --onths and 6 days."

(Ed Note: This cemetery is commonly called "Propietor's Lot", being the first place the original settler's of Canton buried their children. It is off Washington Street, Canton, MA and I expect to visit and photograph this cemetery DMC)
