26007 His early academic course was one of disappointed hopes. After struggles in various fields of commercial life, he took a collegiate course in Lindsay, Ont., and matriculated into Victoria College, Coburg, Ontario in 1887. After a year's theological work, he joined the Central Illinois Conference and completed his theological studies on the field, receiving New Boston, IL as his first appointment. In the year 1902, after a career that promised to be one of intense usefulness, he was accidentally killed at Decatur, IL. He was a preacher of unusual ability and his personality attracted many friends.

After their marriage they migrated to the USA around 1885 - 1890 with other family members. They first settled around the Lovejoy, Iroquois County, area in Illinois. But had to have spent sometime in Mercer County as both Isaac and their young son T. Clement are both listed as being buried in the New Boston Cemetery.

26009 His father was living on Beacon Hill, Boston when he was born. He was educated in the public schools and at the Friends School, Providence, where he was a student for three years. but early in life began to work for his father learning the trade of brass finisher in his father's factory. He was admitted to partnership by his father. He inherited the mechanical gifts of his father and was for many years in charge of the manufacturing plant of A.D. Puffer's Sons Manufacturing Company. He continued in the firm and contributed his share to the success of the business until 1891, when it was amalgamated in the American Soda Fountain Company. Since then he has followed farming most of the time. He lived for a few years at Oak Grove, Malden, removing to Medford in 1892. Afterward he owned a farm at Lexington. He bought a large farm at Concord, MA, and moved there to the house he has since occupied. The farm is now in charge of his son Willis. Mr. Puffer has a shop equipped with a large variety of machinery and spends much of his time in experimental work .

26012 His first name is Bolin, as shown on his Probate Records CHITWOOD, Bolin Green (I39254)
 
26013 His full name was probably Rowland Barnes French. This family tradition is passed from Uncle to nephew. From this supposition it is likely that he is descended from Barnes French, a soldier in the 3rd NH Regiment during the War of 1812. I've included him in the line as a strong possibility. FRENCH, Rowland (I37206)
 
26014 His funeral was held on the 14th of May 1891, at the United Presbyterian Church, Mason Street, San Francisco (between Eddy and Ellis Street). SHUTE, Daniel Stanwood (I33070)
 
26015 His general education was acquired in common and private schools, which he attended until he reached the age of eighteen years, and he graduated from the Boston Dental College March 17, 1870. From 18 to 25 years of age he was engaged in machine shop work and the manufacturing of pegging awls, but ill health obliged him to change his occupation and the three years following were devoted to the study of medicine and dentistry. He began the practice of dentistry in 1854, and for nearly fifty-five years followed the profession actively, mainly in North Bridgewater, which afterwards became Brocton. Since 1858 he has been engaged in life and fire insurance business, and now (1915) represents a number of the old-line companies of England and America. This business in connection real estate in time almost entirely replaces this profession. Dr. Puffer is a great reader, and for over sixty years has devoted and average of five hours in twenty-four to reading.
Quite early in life Dr. Puffer became a copious correspondent for various newspapers, and later was editor of the Brockton Advance for one year, and editor and proprietor of the Brocton Eagle in 1885-85. Other literary work, especially in historical and biographical lines, has widened his reputation. In 1871-72 he was adjunct professor of operative and clinical dentistry in the Boston Dental College, and professor in the institute of the Old Colony Dental Association and was a frequent essayist at its meetings. He has at two periods during his residence in North Bridgewater, or Brockton, been a member of the school committee (1875 -1885); and for over a third of the century he has been one of the trustees of the public library, of which he is known as the "father" having served as president of the board. He was one of the number of citizens who originally purchased the library, and some years later gave it to the town. He was appointed a justice of the peace in 1885, and is now holding a commission, one of the oldest in the State; in 1883 he was appointed a notary public, and also holds a commission to perform marriages in Brockton. Since its incorporation he has been a trustee of the Brock ton Savings Bank.

Originally and anti-slavery man, he was among the first to help from the Republican party, and has been steadfastly devoted to its cause. Outspoken and frank with tongue and pen, he is counted one the most efficient, honorable and successful political workers in MA. He has been on the Republican city committee of Brockton for many years, and has served as chairman.

The Brocton Eagle is given credit for presenting Benjamin Harrison as a candidate for president in a very appreciative article, Feb. 6, 1885, when Dr. Puffer was the editor. This article was reprinted in an IA newspaper, the editor of which was afterward appointed private secretary by President Harrison.
Dr. Puffer had a personal friendship through political and lyceum work with Lowell, Whittier, Sumner, John D. Long, and cherishes many interest ng letters from famous men of his acquaintance.

In 1856 he became an active member of the Plymouth County Agricultural Society; was trustee for many years, and has been vice-president. In 1860 Dr. Puffer built the first greenhouse ever constructed in North Bridgewater; and from that date to the present he has been an ardent horticulturist, florist and frequent contributor to agricultural, horticultural and floricultural publications. Dr. Puffer was one of the active originators of the Brockton Agricultural Society founded in 1874, which was a success from the start. Its opening exhibition, held in a tent for ten days, received an income of $7,400; and now it's annual income exceeds $100,000.

He is also a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society; of the Natural History Society of Boston; of the Old Bridgewater Historical Society, of which he has served as president, and now president-emeritus; of the Stoughton Historical Society, of which he is a trustee; of the Old Colony Historical Society (honorary member), of Taunton; and of the MA and Suburban Press Association; and a charter member of Paul Revere Lodge, A.F.&A.M. and of Satucket Chapter, R.A.M. of Brockton.

A Plymouth County editor wrote: "Loring W. Puffer's long life has been one of useful activity along many lines. As a town and city official he instituted reforms and progressive ideas in the health and school departments and public library. As a write on political and civic subjects h e has been vigorous and outspoken. Always a busy worker upon whom his private concerns mad large demands he never hesitated to give his time and talents freely to further any community cause that appealed to him as being right and worthy. A keen and kindly observer, his periods of recreation or travel have been made to add to his knowledge of men, matters and manners. His remarkable memory, has been a storehouse of things worth while, and a wide acquaintance among people of note and achievement has be fostered by his fondness for the now too uncommon art of personal correspondence. Rich in historical and genealogical lore, he has been a recognized authority, a voluminous writer and a frequent public speaker along these lines, and his estimates of his fellowmen have be en characterized by a spirit of broad charity and of appreciation of the best that was in them.

While never hesitating to let it be known where he stood on any public issue, to assail a worn or champion a right in plain and unmistakable English, Dr. Puffer has loved friendships, flowers and all the finer things of life that blossom and bloom in the sunshine of the passing years. " A.J.H.R.

26094 In "Richard Wright of Rehoboth and some of his relatives", Betty Davis c oncludes that there are two or more Richard Wrights living in early New E ngland: Richard Wright the Millwright Of Rehoboth and Richard Wright th e tailor of Plymouth. This prevalence bears careful watch in researchin g the two families. It is uncertain when our Richard Wright came to America since Richard W right is a common in England but it is believed that our Richard Wright c ame from Stepney. Middlesex, England. In Rev Richard Wright's, father o f our Capt Richard Wright, will dated 1 Apr 1633. he left his home to h is wife, Frances, for life an thento his son, Richard "if be in England ." This would imply that at that time time Richard Wright was either pl anning to leave England or had already absent himself to America. It is b elieved that Richard left in 1630 in theWinthrop Fleet from Stephey, Mi ddlesex, England with three daughters, Elinor, Abigail, and Elizabeth w ith a Margaret Wright. Boston church records dated 27 Aug 1630 show Ric hard Wright and Margaret Wright as members. WRIGHT, Captain Richard (I19688)

"Roy Puffer, Classed As Deserter, Gave Life for Country and Will Be Buried Here By Legion

Classed as a deserter by the War department, yet he gave his life for his country in France, the body of Roy F. Puffer will be buried by The Archie Lackshire Post of the American Legion in Bayside cemetery some day next week. The body will arrive in New York from France Aug. 2 and will be forwarded here at once for burial in the family plot in Bayside.

Twelve years ago Roy Puffer taught school in Door county and lived here with his mother. Shortly after leaving here he enlisted in the army but tired of the service. He was no "peace time" soldier, so he "bunched it" or "went over the hill" as soldiers express it.

He deserted in San Francisco and successfully eluding the authorities lived in the West for a number of years. Finally the United States got into a real war when every available man was needed and men who had been trained were needed at once. Roy crossed the continent and enlisted in New York, being in the first contingents to reach France.

When he enlisted he took his mother's maiden name, Lee, and it was as Sergeant Roy F. Lee that he died and was buried there, and as Sergeant Roy F. Lee that the body is being consigned to relatives here. While not a peace time soldier he title of sergeant shows that he made good when his country was really in need. He was about 32 years old.

His body will rest after honorable burial beside that of his mother, Mrs. Minnie Puffer, in Bayside. He leaves a brother and sister. The brother is George Puffer, principal and manager of the Fountain City Business College of Fond du Lac. The sister is Miss May Puffer, who lived with Dr. and Mrs. G. F. Hilton at the People's hospital a number of years.

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.
