• Notes

  He lived for a time at Roxbury and Concord. Dr. Lee's History of Concord says of him (page 144): "Now there was at Concord at ye time a man named Jonathan Puffer who had much Low Cunning of the (sort) best calculated to make division and Breed confusions and bring on trouble, that I ever knew, indeed he was the most compleat sophisticator and mischiefmaker in ye town or county. This mighty Christian was driving about among people until he got a bare majority to petition the town and court to set them back again and it was done, 1739." Jonathan Puffer of Roxbury bought of Prudence Thompson, widow, land in Roxbury, Aug 13, 1722 (S. D. 36-94) and a house and 1/4 acre of same grantor Oct 3, 1722 (S.D. 36-131). Jonathan Puffer of Punchapaugg sold to Josiah Bacon of Boston house and land Jan. 30, 1722 (S.D. 36-194).
