Nonetheless, Louis VI managed to reinfor ce his power considerably and became one of the first strong kings of F rance since the division of the Carolingian Empire.

|
| 27866 | The first of the family in this country, and the pioneer ancestor, lived but a few years after coming to New England, and we know very little about him. He was one of the residents of Boston to whom land was granted at Mount Wollaston, which was afterwards the town of Braintree, now the city of Quincy. The record shows that he was granted twenty acres and that there were five in his family, indicating that he had three children. February 24, 1639. His homestead was located about two miles east of the railroad station of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad (formerly the Old Colony Railroad) at Quincy. It is the site of the present Fore River shipyards. In the early records the name is often spelled Poffer. The Widow Puffer died at Braintree, February 18, 1676. He was born as early as 1600, died at Braintree, Sept. 27, 1639, (See Pother in records.) (J.W. Porter, Bangor, Me., 1882.) (ED NOTE: I can find no listing of him or his supposed wife (Elizabeth Sedley) or her family on any manifests of ships arriving in the general area of Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1620-1640. Since he was married in the Massachusetts Colony and his son Matthias was born in 1635 there, it is assumed he arrived before that time. One possibility is that he came over in the "Higginson Fleet" so called, ca 1629. Some 350 men, women and children arrived in that fleet, but I am unable to find lists of passengers at this date 5/6/13.) (Ed. Note: A cousin has, supposedly, found the ship that George and his family came over on. "The Recovery" of London, 1633/34. It sailed from London and arrived in Dorchester, MA. Captain Gabriel Cornish. There is a "George Puffer" listed in the The Topographical Dictionary of 2885 English Emigrants to New England, 1620-1650 on page 233. However, there is no further information about him. 12/21/17 DMC) There is no evidence whatsoever that George was married to Elizabeth Sedley. I include her here as a possibility, not a certainty. He had sons James and Matthias. The records show that Matthias married Rachel Farnsworth. According to the Farnsworth genealogy and public records, Ruth Farnsworth, born June 3, 1642, married William Puffer. In his account of the Puffer family, Mr. Appleton, finds no further trace of William Puffer, and the compiler of this work has also failed. A Thomas Puttne of R.I. died in Wrentham, July 11, 1702. This name was printed "Puffer" in the Register, owning to an error in transcribing. Mary Puffer, who died at Braintree, July 22, 1700, was probably the widow of James. It may still be questioned whether George had a son William. | PUFFER, George (I6050)
|
| 27867 | The following abstract is from a newspaper obituary. He died at the residence of Jon Frody. "He had made his home with John Frody and the elder Frody during the greater part of the time for several years. The remainder of his time had been spent mostly on his farm in Wyacondah township, six miles southwest of Bloomfield. His disease was cancer. He had been afflicted with it a great many years, but concealed the fact from his friends until it has so completely mastered him that he was compelled to call on the aid of physicians, when it was too late. *** His strength and balance of mind enabled him to bear his suffering with remarkable fortitude and equanimity, never murmuring and never finding fault with those who attended him. *** He received an academic education in his native state. About 1834 he came as far west as Indiana, and shortly afterward returned to NH. A few years later he determined to settle in the West and, talking of this period in his like, in his last days, he remarked that NH was a good place to be born in , but should be left early. "He started on his long journey, as he said, on foot with eight dollars in his pocket and with no companion but the ague. About 1839 he settled in the American bottom in IL near St. Louis. In 1840 he visited Missouri and returned. He removed to Missouri in 1842, remaining several years in Boone and Howard counties. In 1849 he came to Davis County, Iowa, where he spent the remainder of his life. From the time he left New Hampshire until several years after he came to Iowa his occupation was teaching school. He taught his first school in Bartholomew County, Indiana; his last in Darnell schoolhouse, Union Township, Davis County, s omewhere from 1850 to 1855. Mr Puffer accumulated considerable money b teaching and loaning money. He bought his Wyacondah farm in 1860 and at the time of this death had several thousand dollars in money and notes. *** He was a very liberal man in his dealings. He loaned only where he thought the loan would of real benefit to the recipient. *** Mr. Puffer was a man of fine mind, delicate tastes and studious habits. He possessed a considerable store of classical and scientific knowledge and a large fund of general information. During the middle and latter part of his life, he devoted a large share of his attention to scientific studies. Mathematics, astronomy, botany and geology were his favorite studies, particularly the last. In his journeys he was in the habit of studying the geological formations. Of late years his farm occupied the larger share of his attention in the growing season. He planted and reared an orchard in which he took great delight. He applied his scientific knowledge to its culture. It is now one of the finest orchards in southern Iowa. It contains 150 varieties carefully selected and adapted to the climate and the soil. He delighted also in shrubs and flowers, with which his premises were planted in great profusion and variety. Friends who visited him were always welcome to everything that his grounds and orchard afforded." Interment in Odd Fellows cemetery. Mr. Puffer never married. He bequeathed his property to his brother Jabez and the children of his brothers, Charles, Jabez and Moses Puffer. | PUFFER, Nathan (I22427)
|
| 27868 | The following account of his life was read at a special communication of Prince of Orange Lodge, No. 16, F. & A.M. in the Masonic Temple, NYC, July 9 1875 by the Wor. Bro. Stephen M. Wright: "Brother Puffer was born in Boston, MA, February 26, 1837, where he received a liberal education at the High School, and at an early age developed a love for literary pursuits. "In 1856, at the age of nineteen, he came to New York, where he soon engaged in mercantile life, traveling extensively through the Southern States as a representative of the dry goods and silk trade of this city; during this time he found opportunities to indulge in his literary labors, contributing articles of interest to many popular periodicals, those to the Atlantic Monthly being the most frequent. "In the early part of 1862 he received an appointment from the New York Herald as War Correspondent, and was assigned to accompany General Butler's expedition to New Orleans. His abilities and gentlemanly deportment so attracted the attention of the General that he invited him to accept a position on his personal staff, first with the rank of Lieutenant, and afterwards as Captain, and thus he continued with the General till the close of the war, occupying many positions of confidence and trust. He then engaged in business at Mobile, but the commercial interests of that city not reviving as he had anticipated his venture proved unsuccessful. Returning to New York, he was appointed Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue for the 32 District, which position he held until 1870, when he received an appointment as entry clerk in the Custom House, and in October, 1873, he was selected by Collector Chester A. Arthur as one of his deputies. "Brother Puffer connected himself with the Masonic Fraternity in 1867, being initiated March 7, passed June 7, and raised June 20 of that year, in this lodge. His abilities were soon recognized; he was elected Senior Deacon in 1869, and Junior Warden in 1870. In 1872 and the two succeeding years he was elected Secretary, he declined a re-election this year as his public duties were of such a character as to prevent his accepting the position for another term. The Lodge records for those years are referred to with satisfaction as elegant in style and complete in character. "In conclusion, I desire to add my tribute to his worth, and I know that I feebly reflect your own thoughts in saying that I cannot but feel that his record was pure and untarnished; that he was a courteous gentle man, ever affable and genial, noble minded, generous and forgiving -- a lways faithful to life's duties; he was an honest man, a good Mason, and as such we deplore his loss, not only to our Lodge and the Fraternity, the business and social community in which he moved." The lodge adopted the following: "Resolved, That in his death this Lodge has lost one of its foremost and most valued members, whose skill and untiring energies were devoted to its welfare and prosperity, and whose deportment and character gave dignity to our professions and marked a "perfect ashlar" in our Masonic edifice." He left military service in 1865 to work for the Internal Revenue. At the time of his death he worked at the New York Custom House. In that capacity he corresponded with Susan B. Anthony over a small amount of tax she owed on the sale of pamphlets of suffrage she printed. She paid the tax under protest and scolded Mr. Puffer and the IRS for taxing her without the benefit of her being represented in Congress. He left a widow and two children. | PUFFER, Capt. Alfred Ferdinand (I34131)

| 27869 | The following was written by L.O. Shattuck on the death of Sarah A. Lloyd, aged 11 years, 15 days. Air, Greenville: "Swiftly have our schooldays hasted, Parting time at length has come; Joys and sorrows that we've tasted, All have fled ne'er to return. Daily we have met together Seeking each to knowledge gain, And we hope that each endeavor Has not been entirely vain. One has gone who here met with us; God has called her home above. There in the presence of her Jesus, She now sings redeeming love. May we all be reunited In our Father's house to dwell, Where our hopes will ne'er be blighted, And we ne'er shall say farewell." | LLOYD, Sarah Ann (I17947)

| 27873 | The Freemans (and Clarkes) set sail from Yarmouth, Isle of Wright, on 8 Apr 1630. They were aboard the "Arbella", flagship of the 11 ship Winthrop Fleet and the first ship to depart Yarmouth. They were part of the "landed gentry class" and found the 2 month journey hard in unsanitary, cramped quarters, with meager food and no bathing or washing of clothes. They arrived at Salem on 12 Jun 1630. When William Clarke became enamored with Apphia Quicke is not known, but it culminated in a court decree that William would keep his distance from Mrs. Freeman, his sister-in-law. (A modern day restraining order). The court fined him and stated that ".. there is a strong suspicion of incontinency (lacking sexual constraint/unchaste)." Samuel and Apphia's marriage ended in divorce by 1644, a rare event for that time. Evidently her reputation was unscathed as she remarried Gov. Thomas Prence, as his 3rd wife in 1646. | FREEMAN, Samuel (I20216)

| 27882 | The Herald-Press January 21, 1974 Colorful Ex-Prosecutor, SJ Lawyer "Fighting Joe" Killian is Dead Joseph E. Killian, 63, probably the most colorful Berrien county prosecutor in the post-World War II era and long an aggressive courtroom lawyer, died at 3:45pm Sunday in the University of MI hospital, Ann Arbor. Ill for the past four months, he entered St. Joseph Memorial hospital last fall and about a month ago was transferred to the Ann Arbor hospital. His home was at 4150 Ridge road, Stevensville. Mr. Killian came to the Twin Cities in 1933 direct from law school, and practice law here ever since, with the exception of service as a naval intelligence office(r) during World War II aboard aircraft carriers in the Pacific. Mr. Killian was elected to four terms as Berrien county prosecutor. His eight years in office, 1947 to 1955, are longer than any other Berrien prosecutor. Mr. Killian also wielded more influence in the courthouse than any other prosecutor, and he was a power in county and state Republican politics. He was prosecutor during the strike-troubled times of post World War II and won a reputation for successfully prosecuting union officials for riotous conduct. Mr. Killian was known as "Fighting Joe" for aggressive prosecution and political rhetorical battles. In 1956, he literally lived up to the name by socking a dog warden in a comic case instigated by a friend's prank and mistaken identity. He also paid a $19 fine. In private practice, Mr. Killian was an ace on condemnation cases. A municipal official once said: "It's better to pay a higher fee to Joe Killian and have him on your side than have him against you." Mr. Killian was born March 4,(8,) 1910, in Leadville, Colorado, the son o f Edward and Ida Killian. The family moved to Allegan in 1920 where the senior Killian was superintendent of schools for 20 years. He took undergraduate work at Kalamazoo college and University of Michigan. He was graduated from George Washington University Law School, Washington, D.C., in 1933, and started practice in St. Joseph the same year as an associate of Charles W. Stratton. In 1938, Atty. Killian made the first of two unsuccessful bids for the R epublican nomination as prosecutor, the office for which he later set t he longevity record. He also married Miss Alice Merson of South Haven, Southwestern MI's Blossom Queen of 1937. Atty. Killian enlisted in the Navy in World War II, serving as an intelligence officer on aircraft carriers in Pacific combat. In 1946, he entered a law partnership with Atty. Williard J. Banyon in the firm of Killian and Banyon. Atty. Killian's first year as prosecutor in 1947 was marked by trouble in the strike wave that was hitting the nation. He vigorously prosecute d labor officials who were accused of inciting riotous conditions during strikes at Remington Rand and New Products. The Rand strike also produced a clash between the prosecutor and state police as Mr. Killian charged the troopers were restrained by their high command from preserving order. Mr. Killian won a felony conviction of Thomas Flynn, a UAW field organizer for malicious destruction of property during a 1948 strike at Nylen Products. Flynn's prison sentence was later commuted by Gov. G. Mennen Williams. In 1949, Mr. Killian took on the United Electrical Worker union, which then represented Whirlpool workers with a charge that union leadership was communist dominated. This produced no litigation, but did wind up in a celebrated radio debate between Mr. Killian and a UE organizer. After retiring from the prosecutor's office, Atty. Killian withdrew from active politics to concentrate on his private practice. Friends had urged him to make a run for Congress on retirement of Clare Hoffman, but Mr. Killian declined. In private practice, Atty. Kilian's law Firm began acquiring new partners until it became the biggest in Berrien county in 1970 with the formation of Killian, Spelman, Taglia, Meek, Lagoni and Burdick. Atty. Carl Burdick struck off on his own in 1972 and the firm was dissolved in January, 1973, when Attys John Spelman, Paul Taglia, Stuart Meek and William Lagoni formed a new firm. At the beginning of this year, two young attorneys, Roccy M. DeFrancesco and Thomas H. Adams, Jr., joined him in a new partnership, known as Killian, Adams, and DeFrancesco. Survivors are his wife, Alice; two sons, Joseph Jr. who is a captain in the U.S. Air Force stationed near London, and Bill of Cleveland, O.; two daughters, Miss Carol Killian of San Francisco and Miss Mary Kay Killian of Ludington; his mother, Mrs. Ida Killian of South Haven, and two (three) grandchildren. His father died about ten years ago. A memorial service will be conducted at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in St. Joseph at 2 p .m. Wednesday. the Rev. Robert F. Andrews, pastor, will officiate. The body will be cremated. Friends may call at the Fairplain chapel of the Florin funeral home.

The lead shroud had a crude shape of a crown at the head. The vault was closed then until the walls of the new abbey were completed (1819) and then opened again so a proper scientific review of the coffin could be accomplished. The skeleton was intact and removed and examined, and found to be in good condition. A plaster cast of the skull was made (there are several copies extant). The man was between 5'11 and 6'. The sternum was sawn down the middle (presumably to remove the heart). The decision was made to display the skeleton to the public and some pieces of the skeleton were not returned when it came time to re-lead his remains. Then 1500 lbs of hot pitch were poured over them sealing the coffin forever. The location of the coffin is just below the pulpit of the new abbey and a modern brass effigy is inlaid in the red marble covering. | BRUCE, Robert I King of Scotland (I49249)

| 27970 | There are two marriage dates in the Town Records of Stow, MA, 1 an 1801 is the other one. Perhaps the 1800 one is an intention of marriage date. The records aren't clear. | Family: MORSE, Joseph / PUFFER, Eunice (F7955)
|
| 27971 | There are two stones for George E. Puffer. The original headstone is for George and Eva Currier Puffer, in Woodlawn Cemetery, Canisteo, NY. After Eva's death, George remarried to Dorothy M. Sampson (1914-1990) in 1976. He died shortly thereafter and a new stone was erected for him and Dorothy, in Greenwood Cemetery, Greewood, NY. That is why there is no death date on the original stone for George. | PUFFER, George E. (I19866)
|
| 27972 | There is a discrepancy between Nutt and Cutter/Adams in his death date. His memorial stone agrees with Cutter/Adams. | MORSE, Samuel (I561)
|
| 27973 | There is a family tradition that John and his brother William were orphans and came to this country from South Wales about 1644 with their mother's brother, William Stillman, and first settled in the New Haven Colony. | GOODRICH, John (I15645)
|
| 27974 | There is no evidence found that her name was Eunice. However, a Eunice Puffer had a son with William Wetherell, Jr. whose name was Pliny Wetherell Puffer. Most likely Pliny was b. out of wedlock. Eunice's brother was Pliny Puffer so it makes sense that she named him after her brother and her son's father. This is conjecture but it's the only way to make sense of Pliny Wetherell Puffer's birth record in the Vital Records of Norton, MA. | PUFFER, Eunice (I42970)
|
| 27975 | There is no evidence of a marriage. I believe their child, Flora Etta, was born out of wedlock and took the name Puffer from her mother's husband. | GOULD, Ellis P. (I50862)
|
| 27976 | There is no marriage records for her and Fred Noyes. It is likely that their son was born out of wedlock, hence his Puffer surname. | PUFFER, Mary Elfleda (I16394)
|
| 27977 | there is no proof he is the some of Silas and Sarah Ann Levalley Puffer. This is the only family that fits the dates and places. More research is needed. | PUFFER, James Washington (I36208)
|
| 27978 | There is no proof he is the son of Floyd Arthur Puffer. More research needs to be done | PUFFER, Floyd Arthur Jr. (I44886)
|
| 27979 | There is no proof he is their son, however this is the only family that fits the dates. More research is needed. | PUFFER, Grover C. (I55460)
|
| 27980 | There is no proof he was the son of Jabez and Harried M. Field Puffer, he is only listed in two census's one Federal (1860) and one state (NH). The dates and places fit his existing records and he is placed here for those reasons. More research is needed. | PUFFER, Alonzo W. (I33051)
|
| 27981 | There is no proof he was the son of Silas and Sarah Ann Levalley. But this is the only family in the area that fits for date and places. There are no records of his marriage to Sally Deuel. Perhaps she was a common law wife? | PUFFER, Silas (I44496)
|
| 27982 | There is no proof she is the daughter of DeWillet Puffer. She's put here because of birth date and place. More research is needed | PUFFER, Helen Maryjane (I57424)
|
| 27983 | There is no proof that she is the daughter of Elon and Harried Parsons. She appears on the family oblisk headstone and the dates of birth correspond which is why I have placed her as their daughter. More research is needed. DMC 6/15/2020 | Family: PARSONS, Elon G. / ROGERS, Harriet Jane (F20517)
|
| 27984 | There is no proof that this is the Emma Puffer that married Julius Charier, 15 Mar 1876 in Casco, WI. But she is the only Emma that fits both time and place. | PUFFER, Emma Sherry (I64343)
|
| 27985 | There is no record of her parentage however, this is the only Puffer family in which she fits birth-wise. It is corroborated by the 1840 Federal Census for Readsboro, VT, where her husband, Ira Whitney, is listed and the dates for each category of household people fit. In addition her father, "T Puffer" (Tisdale), is listed right below Ira Whitney and those dates also fit. In conclusion Mary Ann doesn't fit with any other family and so she is put here. | PUFFER, Mary Ann (I21924)
|
| 27986 | There is no stone | PUFFER, Rosa Christine (I32845)
|
| 27987 | There is no town with that name in NY, yet the record is pretty clear | LONG, Catherine (I24005)
|
| 27988 | There is some confusion about her parentage. Some records show her as the daughter of Jacob and Hannah Haynes Puffer, who married Joseph Conant. Although the dates and places are similar I don’t believe they are the same person. | PUFFER, Nancy (I15245)
|
| 27989 | There is some confusion as to a 2nd marriage for Lucy. The Puffer Genealogy book doesn't show a marriage to Otis Stearns. It shows that she did marry a Coggswell with no children (Page 60). No other marriages are shown for her. Another Lucy Wilder born 6 Feb 1792, to Joel and Lucy Wilder makes it all the more confusing. The case for her marriage to Otis Strearns isn't great. And with another Lucy in the area with the same date minus the year, it is probably not this Lucy that married Otis Stearns. Plus Lucy Wilder and Otis Stearns have a son named Joel Wilder Stearns, so that, to me, is pretty compelling it's this Lucy who is the wife of Otis Stearns. | WILDER, Lucy (I19898)
|
| 27990 | There is some confusion on his birth place. Some records show 'Epping, NH', some show 'Epping, ME'. His daughter's death certificate shows his birth place at Wolfesboro, NH. "Early Pleasant Families" shows Exeter, NH | FRENCH, Sewell Worcester (I36918)
|
| 27991 | There is some controversy over whether Garrett H. and Jared Isaac Puffer are the same person. The 1851 Federal Census seems to indicate that they are. There is no conclusive proof (yet) that this is so. I have continued to separate them (mainly due to the name of wives and birth dates). | PUFFER, Garrett H. (I32684)

|
| 27993 | There is some disagreement on his death date/place. Some families have him dying and buried in Oregon. However, these records are for a William S. Keene son of Alfred Carter and Nancy Neal Keene, who came to Oregon in 1844. This is not the same man. | KEENE, William Soule (I53572)
|
| 27994 | There is some discrepancy in his birth dates | PUFFER, Benjamin Wilson (I15985)
|
| 27995 | There is some mystery about this Walter L. Puffer. He is found in the 1940 Federal Census as the 'son' of Roscoe H. and Emma M. Puffer. However there's another Walter L. (Lester) Puffer, born 1921-22, who appears to be different. The WWII draft records show this Walter Lester as related to Roscoe Puffer. But the Roscoe Puffer shown on the form is really this Walter's uncle, Harry Roscoe Puffer. More research needs to be done. 8/10/23 DMC | PUFFER, Walter L. (I6893)

| 27996 | There is some mystery regarding Sewell and his family. The Family French Association has Barnes French as his father and other sources show a Freeman French as his father and Eunice Worcester as his mother. Places of birth are also confusing as some family members state he was born in Epping, NH and others (and himself) in Columbia, ME. To further complicate matters there is a section of Columbia, ME called "Epping". I have done extensive research on Sewell and have no conclusions as to his true parentage. (DMC 10/24/2022) UPDATE: Apr 23, 2023 I found an old "Rememberance" book for his daughter, Ursual. This book was given to her in Epping New Hampshire in Apr 1839 and is proof that it was Epping, NH, not Epping, ME that the family is from. (DMC) According to the 1840 Federal Census, he was a living in Turner, Maine and had a wife, one son 15-19 (Rowland?), one son 5-9 (Talbot?), one son under 5 (Freeman?). On Sept. 18, 1843 he bought 300+- acres for $250 from Elijah L. Hamlin, Isaac Farrow, Abner Coburn, and Arnold F. Wells. (David M. Caranci has the original deed.) According to the 1850 census, he was a laborer and born in New Hampshire. (Ed. Note: I've been unable to locate Sewell French in NH or his ancestry!) On July 7, 1851 he bought about 1/2 acre for $120 from Lucy S. and Roger W.E. Brown. (David M. Caranci has the original deed.) On Sept. 27, 1851 he bought ten acres of land for $100 from Joseph Crandon of Columbia, Me. (David M. Caranci has the original deed). On Oct 12 1854 he sold one pair of brown and white, two year old steers for $50. (David M. Caranci has the original deed.) According to the 1860 census, he was a farmer and born in NH . According to the 1870 census, he was a farmer. According to the 1880 census he was a farmer; his father was born in MA, mother born in ME. He listed his occupation as 'farmer', and his wife as 'keeping house'. -- MERGED NOTE ------------ There is some mystery regarding Sewell and his family.

| 27997 | There is some question about this marriage. It's not found anywhere else in records and there's some type of crossout of the letter "M" and a strange symbol next to it. | PUFFER, Lulu M. (I24322)
|
| 27998 | There is some question as to her parentage. Some records show her as daughter to the Puffers, others show her last name as Williams, an adopted daughter of Roger S. and Felicia Henderson Williams | PUFFER, Joy Ann (I42984)
