  • Notes 
    • No record of his birth has been found. It is assumed that he was the son of Matthias, from the fact that he was associated with other children of Matthias. In 1792, John, Jacob, and Matthias Puffer were in Society (near Francestown), NH. Jacob lived at Society and was one of the petitioners to have his land added to Francestown, December, 1791. Solomon Pilsbury, who married Prudence Puffer, lived on the adjoining farm. Jacob was a blacksmith. In the history of Antrim, N.H. he is mentioned as a settler about 1788. It is stated there that he is believed to have gone in 1799 to some town on the Hudson River.
