  • Notes 
    • Her birthday is correct in that she, along with 2 other siblings, were born years after their father died. Her mother simply listed her dead husband as the father. Her real paternity is unknown.

      With her siblings, she was raised by her aunt and uncle, Julia Nancy Puffer and George Olmstead. Some records show her with the Olmstead surname, but she's a Puffer, sort of.
