25933 In February, 2002 Eugene Cole Zubrinsky posted the following on the Bliss board of GenForum:

Given the ease with which genealogical inaccuracies take on a life of their own, robustly surviving in the face of corrections, I hope that by posting this online, it might have a chance of supplanting the error with which it competes.

JONATHAN2 BLISS (1626-1687) was the son of Thomas1 and Dorothy (Wheatlie) Bliss of Braintree and Rehoboth, Mass. The oft-repeated claim that h is wife was MIRIAM HARMON is false. She was, in fact, neither a Miriam nor a Harmon; there is no record of a Miriam Harmon in New England during this period. Jonathan2 Bliss's wife was almost certainly a daughter of George PUFFER of Braintree, Mass., probably named RACHEL. For a complete discussion of the factors that led to this misidentification and the evidence supporting its correction, see NEHGR 151(1997):32-37.

Eugene is a respected and reliable genealogist and his article in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register presents a pretty thorough look at this matter.

25934 In filing for spousal benefits, the testimony of Susan, his wife, her first husband, Richard, was already married to Sarah Wilder (whom he left in Keene, NH). She didn't find out until 2 years later of this marriage. The marriage ceremony of Susan Beasley to Richard Puffer is established by recorded evidence, and no competent evidence has been secured to show that Richard Puffer did not have the legal capacity to contract in this marriage.

No divorce of Susan Beasley and Richard Puffer has been discovered in any records. A Richard Puffer was granted land in Dubuque, IA on 10 Nov 1859 and in Cass County, NE on 6 Dec 1860.

There were wides pread rumors that Henry had not only made Alys his mistress, but that s he had borne him a child. Henry died in 1189. Richard married Berengari a of Navarre on 12 May 1191 while still officially engaged to Alys. Alys Countess of The Vexin Princess of France (I1737)

25984 Isaac Allerton was born in England about 1583-1586, but his parentage has not been identified. He may be related to Mayflower passenger John Allerton, but no relationship between them has been documented. Isaac Allerton is found in several Leyden records, and his sister Sarah married Degory Priest there on the same day as Issac's marriage to Mary Norris. A John Allerton and a Robert Allerton can also be found in Leyden records. On 18 June 1618 in Leyden, Isaac Allerton, tailor, made a sworn statement for Nicholas Claverly, witnessed by Degory Priest. On 9 January 1619, Isaac Allerton made agreement with Alice Gallant, widow of John Hooke and current wife of Henry Gallant, to apprentice her twelve-year old son John Hooke to Isaac Allerton, to learn the tailor trade. John Hooke came with Isaac on the Mayflower, but died the first winter. William Bradford, c1650, included in his passenger list of the Mayflower: "Mr Isaack Allerton, and Mary his wife; with .3. children Bartholomew, Remember, and Mary. and a servant boy, John Hooke." He later wrote " Mr. Allerton his wife died with the first, and his servant John Hooke. His son Bartle is married in England but I know not how many children he hath. His daughter Remember is married at Salem and hath three or four children living. And his daughter Mary is married here and hath four children. Himself married again with the daughter of Mr. Brewster and hath one son living by her, but she is long since dead. And he is married again and hath left this place long ago. So I account his increase to be eight, besides his sons in England." On September 26, 1636 Isaac made a deposition in Boston stating he was aged about 53 years. Isaac Allerton has a relatively small number of descendants compared to other Mayflower passengers, but is an ancestor to Presidents Zachary Taylor and Franklin D. Roosevelt. ALLERTON, Isaac MAYFLOWER (I4703)
 
25985 Isaac and his wife, Irene Smith, and his first six children moved from Ashfield, Franklin Co. MA to a small settlement called Western, in Oneida Co.

He later built a mill on Fish Creek which became the business center of the settlement. Being a lumberman, he sailed down the St Lawrence River in 1811, just before the outbreak of war of 1812 with Great Britain, with a load of lumber. He was captured and imprisoned by British troops. He steadfastly refused to swear to the oath of allegiance and was deported to England where he remained in prison for 9 years.

Most of the early Federal Census records show a male in this family that fits his birth year. Also his (supposed) grandson was Rowland Barnes French, a naming tradition in this French family. Of course all of this is conjecture at this time. 10/29/19 DMC FRENCH, Barnes (I51937)
 
25997 It is not known what her surname actually was. RAYNELL\REYNOLD, Margaret (I6810)
 
25998 It is not proven he is the son of Henry Marion and Alice Toner Puffer. He is put here as they are the only Puffer's in OK that fit. More research is needed to prove his lineage. PUFFER, John A. (I43391)
 
25999 It is not proven he is the son of Thomas and Mary Gload Puffer.
He is living at the same residence as Warren Puffer in 1853 and 1856. A brother?
Living in the same town (Concord, NH) as Warren Puffer in 1840, with a son 5-10 yrs; a daughter 5-10, and a wife 30-40. 
PUFFER, George O. (I41891)
 
26000 It is not proven she is a daughter of Simeon and Fanny. It can be certain that she was, at least, raised by them.
In 1845 Cornelius (her brother) attempted to claim unpaid war pensions for his father, Simeon. He lists the surviving children of Simeon as himself, Benjamin, Sally, Harriet and Hannah. Since Lucretia is still alive in 1845 it's unlikely Cornelius would forget his sister. In 1810 NY State Census for Coeymans, NY lists 2 girls under the age of 10 in Simeons household. The two older girls, Sally and Harriet, are over 10. Hannah is the only daughter under 10. Yet the census shows two. The 2nd is Lucretia, perhaps she's a granddaughter or niece. 
PUFFER, Lucretia (I34789)
 
26001 It is not proven she is the daughter of Alvin and Evelyn Blodgett Puffer. Her dates fit theirs. More research is needed. PUFFER, Madeline (I57134)
 
26002 It is not proven she is the daughter of Jonathan and Abigail. The dates are not correct (being born out of wedlock). More research is needed. PUFFER, Mary (I17782)
 
26003 It is not proven she was married to Thomas Tracy Family: TRACY, Lt. Thomas / CONWAY, Mary (F7547)
 
26004 It is not proven that she is the daughter of Josiah and Roxanna Alger Puffer. She is put here because no instance of her birth parents can be found in records, and these are the closest people in age and place as parents. More research is needed. PUFFER, Lydia Ann (I13895)
 
26005 It is not proven that this is the "Hannah Warren" that John Hale Puffer intended to marry in 1799. However, she is the only Hannah Warren that fits the dates and area (Boxborough, MA). WARREN, Hannah (I21002)
 
26006 It is possible that he is "Henry Samuel Puffer" as their dates are so close and no record of him is found after 1860. PUFFER, Harvey (I36046)
 
26007 It is recorded that Thomas was the first settler of Freshwater Brook, now Thompsonville, Enfield, CT. In 1668 he resided in Westfield, MA, where he was a selectman (legislator). In March 1680 he sold his property and moved back to Enfield, CT. BANCROFT, Lt. Thomas (I15563)
 
26008 It is said that he went to Monckton, VT. He afterward settled in Freedom, Portage County, OH, and died there at a ripe old age.

Served from April 12 to April 21, 1814 in Capt. Eseck Sprague's Company, Sumner's Regt

26009 It is said that she was the best educated woman in town in her day. WOOD, Mary (I19257)
 
26010 It is thought Emma and Ellis were either separated or divorced as the lived most of their lives apart. LOTTRIDGE, Emma Loduska (I18437)
 
26011 it is unclear which cemetery she is buried in. Her stone is in Talmage, NE, however, she has a record of burial in Riverside, CA CLARK, Hiley (I36111)
 
26012 It is unknown if Adalind is truly Richbod's mother. Richbod (I1431)
 
26013 It is unknown if he is the son or grandson of John and Sylvina Nash. He appears in the 1870 Federal Census in Columbia, ME. NASH, William (I57613)
 
26014 It is unknown if she was adopted or just a ward of the Puffers. Did she take their last name? More research is needed. PUFFER, Matilda Brown (I37867)
 
26015 It is unknown if this is the same Joanna. She is definitely recorded as the daughter of James Bowdoin and Persis Puffer, and her dates are clear also. Joanna Eames Puffer lived past infancy the records show. PUFFER, Joanna (I41900)
 
26016 It is unknown why he didn't take his father's name unless he was born to Annie Naomi and some other man prior to her marriage to John Colby. PUFFER, George Alfred (I3287)
 
26017 It is unlikely that Abigail Baily and Abel Titus, Sr. were married, although they had three children, all of whom carried his surname:
Sarah "Sally" Titus
Hannah Titus
Abel Elon Titus, Jr.

In December 1841 Abigail Bailey and her three children – Sarah "Sally" Titus, Hannah (Titus) Coombs, and Abel Titus - submitted claims to the Probate Court for moneys that were owed to them for services and labor on behalf of Abel Titus. Their claims were disallowed.
In April 1842, the Court found that Abigail Bailey was "insane and incapable of taking care of herself" and a guardian was appointed for her.
On 6 January 1845, Eugene S. Parker, the administrator of the estate, maintained that daughters Naomi (wife of Jonathan Parker) and Eunice (wife of Rufus Parker) were the only legitimate heirs to the estate. And the Court agreed. The probate was concluded. 
BAILEY, Abigail (I62958)
 
26018 It is unproven if Elizabeth Sedley was the wife of George Puffer. Some modern genealogies put her here and I have included her just on that possibility. There is some speculation that her husband George may have been an indentured servant of her father, James Sedley. Again, there is no historical proof that this is so. In fact, there are no records at all of any Sedley's arriving in the colonies from 1620-1640.
We do know that the wife of George Puffer "died at Braintree, February 18, 1676". DMC 
Elizabeth (I6049)
 
26019 It is unproven if these are Mary's parents. The Puffer Genealogy book, by Nutt, says her parents are Jacob and Experience Read. READ, Mary (I34322)
 
26020 It is unproven that she is the wife of John Clark and buried with him. JEWELL, Eunice (I45909)
 
26021 It isn't proven that he was the husb of Adah Cory, however he's the only Puffer that fits the age and location. Family: PUFFER, Glenn David / CORY, Adah Odella (F16403)
 
26022 It isn't proven that this is Omer Plante, but all the dates and locations fit. He originally signed his name "Omer Plante" in two places, then added the "George Joseph". PLANTE, Omer (I45933)
 
26023 It unproven she's a twin of Constance or the same girl. They never appear separately. GILL, Faith Josephine (I49272)
 
26024 It was this fact that started me on my genealogical journey (1985). I saw a mention of this historical event in the writings of my grandfather's cousin. A trip to the library confirmed the historic accuracy and the name of my ancestor. The die was cast from that moment on. DMC FARNSWORTH, Rachel (I9430)

26028 It was undetermined if his death was a result of murder or suicide. An autopsy was unable to determine the cause of death with certainty. His death was caused by a blow to the head with a long handled axe, and although the wound was severe, he actually bled to death as his brain was unaffected.
Puffer was erratic in his behavior, addicted to alcohol, and want to suspect that people were following him, according to neighbors.
He lived in a shack on the banks of the Cole's river, Wilbur Avenue, South Swansea, MA. There was no sign of a struggle in his room. 
PUFFER, Frank A. (I32816)
 
26029 It's curious that he has a (supposed) half-brother also named Edward (Edgar) born out of wedlock with another woman around the same time. (See Edward Ovitt (Eldred). OVITT, Edward Daniel (I51746)
 
26030 It's likely he is the son of Benjamin and a first wife as there is a 9 year difference in age with his sister, Mariah. PUFFER, Henry (I61378)
 
26031 It's not certain if this is a male or female (Frances). Cemetery records indicate "Frances". PUFFER, Francis (I22399)
 
26032 It's not clear from records if her name is Mary or Melissa/Malissa. She is found in the 1870 and 1880 Federal Censuses, with her daughter Florence, in Burke, NY under "Malissa/Melissa". PUFFER, Mary (I40274)

26036 It's not proven she is the daughter of Daniel and Susan Dingman Puffer. Her birth date preceeds their marriage date by 4 years. She could be a niece or sister-in-law, however she is listed in the 1861 Canada Census with the family. PUFFER, Sarah (I58713)
 
26037 It's not proven she is the daughter of Orlin G. however it is known that her mother was Catherine (1940 Fed Census). A housekeeper in a private home according to the 1940 Federal Census.
More research is necessary. 
PUFFER, Margaret (I42344)
 
26038 It's not proven she is the daughter of Samuel Puffer and Elizabeth C. Duff. In the 1850 Federal Census she is listed as Elizabeth Pupper, and is living with her half-sister Matilda Puffer, 27, and her husband George Wilcher (spelled Melcher in the census), 35; George Wilcher's mother Caroline Hedger, 70; and George and Matilda's daughter, Catherine, 1. PUFFER, Elizabeth (I45431)
 
26039 It's not proven she is their daughter. A 1900 Federal Census records shows her birth in Ireland, married to Darius Denison. STICKLE, Mary Ellis (I58593)

26044 It's shown on the marriage certificate for Sarah and William Van Atter, that a C. F. Puffer was a witness. The only C. F. Puffer that fits the age and place is Clarence Filmore Puffer (1862-1936) Family: VAN ATTER, William / JOHNSON, Sarah E. (F17220)
 
26045 Jacob is listed on the 1830 Stokes County, NC, Census with his wife. Jacob is also listed on the 1840 Stokes County, NC, Census with his wif e and 6 boys and 2 girls.

26048 James Haynes was born in Sudbury, MA on March 17, 1660/61. He was the eighth child of John Haynes and Dorothy Noyes, daughter of Peter Noyes, and grandson of Walter Haynes. James married, in Sudbury, Sarah Noyes of the same town. There are contradictory records of the date of the marriage, it was either November 21, 1689, or December 21, 1690. Sarah was born in Sudbury on September 28, 1669, the daughter of Joseph Noyes and Mary Darnell or Darvell. Sarah was not a descendant of the Peter Noyes who is so often linked with Walter Haynes in the history of Sudbury. Her father was of the Newbury Noyes clan, but a link between that family and the family of Peter Noyes, back in England, has been established.

James was a defender at the Haynes Garrison House during King Philip's War. He was a farmer, and a deacon in the church at Sudbury from 1706 to 1715. James contracted to build a new meeting house for Sudbury. He was to be paid in merchantable Indian corn, peas, beef, pork and malt. James and Sarah had seven children. James died in Sudbury on October 15, 1732, and is buried in the old cemetery, called the Revolutionary War Cemetery, at Sudbury. Sarah died on September 13, 1756, but her death is not recorded in Sudbury vital records.

26056 Johann George Willard's will was filed on October 10, 1818 in Stokes County, North Carolina. He listed his wife and fourteen (14) children. George appears to be the father of Johnathan and George Willard, Jr. These two sons are found living very close together in Stokes and Surry Counties, North Carolina throughout their lives. Both men are listed in George's will. (Document #12). Johnathan definitely belongs to this line of the Willard family. In the 1800 Federal Census of Stokes County, North Carolina, George is listed as above 45 yrs of age. His wife is listed as above 45 yrs of age. He has 2 sons under ten yrs of age; 1 son, 10-16 yrs. of age; 3 sons, 16-26 yrs. of age; 1 daughter under 10 yrs. of age; 1 daughter, 10-16 yrs. of age; 2 daughters, 16-26 yrs. of age. (Document #16). SPECIAL NOTE: No tax list entries were recorded for the "Willard" name in Surry County, North Carolina in 1790 and before. Also, no tax liste ntries were made under the name "Willard" in Surry County for tax year 1862. George was recorded on the Tax List for Stokes County, North Carolina, from 1790 - 1797. The 1820 Stokes County, NC, Census shows George Willard living close to several sons, Johnathan, Solomon, and Jacob. (source: 1820 Stokes County, NC Census). George or George Jr. is listed in the 1815 Stokes County, NC, tax list for Deep River District. Johann George is listed in the 1783 Moravian Minutes of North Carolina as preparing to marry a woman named Appel from Stinking Quarter. WILLIARD, Johann George (I912)

26075 Jonathan was born in 1646, in Saybrook, Connecticut. His parents were Thomas and Mary Conway Tracy. He was one of the founders of Preston, New London, Connecticut. The first recorded Town Meeting took place on 30 March 1687. The first order of business was to choose a Recorder [town clerk]. Jonathan Tracy was chosen for this position. No other officials were appointed at the first meeting. The business that followed dealt with the granting of land; thus the need for the Recorder being the first official chosen. The records of Preston say that Jonathan Tracy married Mary Griswold on July 11, 1672. Since the first recorded town meeting took place in 1687 and Jonathan was chosen to be town clerk, he might have decided to put the record of his own marriage in the records of Preston, even though it did not occur there. They were married in Lisbon, New London County, in the Newent Congregational Church. The births of their first five children also occured before 1687, but are also found in the records of Preston. Those children were probably also born in Lisbon.

Jonathan was Commissioned Lt. of the Preston militia, May 1690. Jonathan was Selectman of Preston in 1698, and served as Town Clerk until his death. Colony law required that every town have an 'ordinary'. This term was used very early but changed to the more familiar 'tavern'. Jonathan Tracy was the first Ordinary Keeper. From the town records, 1698 jenewary 25: Jonathan Tracy was chosen ordinary keeper. Jonathan and Mary had at least nine children. Three of their sons married daughters of John and Mary (Wattell) Parish: Christopher married Lydia Parish, David married Sarah Parish, and Francis married Elizabeth Parish. Jonathan's will, dated Nov. 1711, mentions wife Mary, sons David and Samuel of Preston, and daughter Mary, wife of Benjamin Parrish. Jonathan signed a deed on November 29 and his will was proved on December 24, 1711. His place of burial is unknown.

26080 Joseph Tucker, one of the earliest and most prominent citizens of moder n Canton, was a landowner in the original "Twelve Divisions" of Dorches ter. Purchased from the Indians, Tucker's property extended from the Ma ssapoag House south to the residence of Charles Endicott and was destin ed to eventually be bisected by Washington Street. Born at Milton on Ja nuary 11, 1679, Joseph Tucker was to gain a niche in the history of Can ton through his participation in politics, church and civic affairs. As e arly as 1711, he was appointed Surveyor of Highways. Among his accompli shments Mr. Tucker included service as the first Town Clerk in Stoughto n. At different times during his life, Joseph Tucker ran the old saw mill, m aintained one of the better farms in the area and kept an inn. For many y ears, after joining Mr. Morse's church with his first wife, Judith Clap p, in 1717, he held the office of Deacon. Unfortunately, his fondness f or the "bubbly" terminated that position in 1742. A widower, Mr. Tucker remarried in 1730, this time to a woman named Mar y Jordan. Deacon Tucker, like all men, suffered from human frailties. I t was during this second marriage that his tendency to imbibe occasiona lly cost him the position with the church. In 1742, word was spread that the good Deacon had publicly been "overco me and disguised with drink". The rumors further charged that his assoc iate and companion at the time was no less an individual than Parson Du nbar. Since such charges could only be determined by the church, the deacon a ppeared before members of the congregation on September 10, at which ti me he delivered a speech vehemently protesting his innocence. He attrib uted his behavior, which he admitted was similar to that of a drunken m an, to an injury suffered when his horse stumbled and fell. Following the testimony of witnesses, however, Mr. Tucker admitted that " On his last trip to Boston he took many drams and mixed drinks, perhaps m ore than he had realized". He was henceforth granted permission to part ake of Communion, but deprived of the deacon's title. Ten days later the former church officer took for his third wife, the f ormer Susanna Pelton. After three years of marriage Joseph Tucker was s ummoned by his Creator on September 25, 1745. Although his gravestone refers to "Deacon Joseph Tucker", the records k ept by Mr. Dunbar read, "once a deacon of this church". TUCKER, Deacon Joseph (I21468)
