• Notes

  He resided on the old Amasa Kendall farm in Framingham. About 1767 he removed to Dublin, NH. He was a taxpayer in 1773. In 1790 he was living in Dublin and had three children then living in his family. He was very poor. In 1786 the town built a house for him (Lot 10, range 4). "Jabez Puffer was reckoned as one of the Revolutionary soldiers of Dublin. His name is not discovered in the Revo- lutionary Rolls. This may be due to a loss of some of the old records, or to a defect in the index. The indexes to the Rolls are far from complete. Jabez Puffer came to Dublin from Fram- ingham, Mass., and married a daughter of Capt. Thomas Morse. He had a large family of children, several of whom were feeble-minded and eventually supported by the town. We have found no record of his death. He lived at first on the tenth lot of the eighth range, and later on the eleventh lot of that range, on the Milliken place." History of Dublin, Centennial Celebration, 17 Jun 1852.
