    Notes:

    This family appears in the 1875 Kansas State Census and nowhere else. The State Census records shows the family came to Kansas from Missouri, where two of the children were born. He is put here with the Samuel Puffer family as they are the only Puffers that fit in date/time. It's possible their last name is Peiffer or some derivative and not connected to Samuel. More research is needed.

    William is a shoemaker in 1875, KS
    (See The Red Letter Edition, Identity in Doubt or Unknown section to connect him to Samuel)

    Birth:
    The 1875 Kansas State Census shows his birth place is Tennessee (as well as his wife and children.) However they lived in Missouri first before coming to TN.

    • Residence: 1836, Wilson County, TN
    • Residence: 1838, Wilson County, TN

    Notes:

    Samuel is put here with Benjamin and Abigail because he fits into the time period according to the earliest Federal Censuses. There is no proof he was their son.

    This family has plagued me for years.  I have Samuel as son of Benjamin and Abigail Tucker because they are the only family that fit the time period and location for him.  He was unconnected to parents for years.  His 'parents' never appear in TN, so it is assumed he made the journey before 1820, where we first see him in the census records of Maury County, TN (Maury County TN Census, then the 1820 Fed Census).  I have a marriage date to Susan Eagan (to further confuse the issue she is clearly written as "Susan Agree" in the marriage records for Maury County (TN Marriages 1780-2002).  It's also curious that there is no record of the solemnizing of the marriage, just the license.  Were they ever married?  Who can tell.  It's possible that Samuel and Susan were never really married and had 3 children in as many years.  Something happened to cause them to split and Samuel married Elizabeth Duff and had Edwin and Susan. It's also possible that he was married to both (we're talking Tennessee here) :)


    The Wilshier children: The 1860 Federal Census shows them living with John and Martha Gray Puffer.  It's unknown if they were adopted or were foster-children.  I've included them as a possible adoption after 1860.

    Residence:
    The 1820 Federal Census shows 1 male 26-44 (he is single)

    Samuel married EAGAN, Susan on 18 Sep 1820 in Maury County, TN. Susan (daughter of EAGAN, Barnaby D. III and GRAY, Sarah Catherine) was born in 1804 in Wilson County, TN; died in 1831 in Wilson County, TN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
