Notes:

He was an early settler at Keene, NH. He was called Richard "Jr." As he was younger than Richard, son of William, there can be no doubt that he was the son of Richard. The other Richard could not have been called " Jr."

He sold the Puffer farm in Franklin, MA to Elisha and Eli Richardson in 1770.

Richard married ALBEE, Jemima on 11 Apr 1751 in Wrentham, MA. Jemima (daughter of ALBEE, Benjamin and TAFT, Mary) was born on 7 Oct 1731 in Mendon, MA; died on 7 Oct 1782 in Medway, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The Puffer Genealogy states that he had two wives, Amy and Anna Hawes. I believe this is incorrect in that they are both the same woman. The dates do not match for a wife who was 'appointed admx. in 1758.
