• Notes

  Civil War soldier, Private, with Co. C, 1st Artillery Black River Artillery Btn. Then he served as a Private in Co. M, the 10th Artillery. He, most likely, took part in the Battle of Petersburg, VA, for it was there he was mustered out, on the 23rd of Jun, 1865. Daniel is put here as he is the only Daniel Puffer that fits approx. birth date. His military record shows someone named "Pamelia" associated with him. This too points to his being son to Daniel Turner Puffer and "Pamela". Although records sometimes show the name to be "Pamelia", the gravestone I uncovered clearly shows "Pamela". DMC 2-18-16 Originally I thought the "Pamelia" associated with him was a person, but it is actually the town he was from in Jefferson County, NY (upstate). This fact puts in doubt my previous comments about his family. However I am going to leave him here and do some further research. DMC 8-27-19 Further research suggests he is the son of Asa and Eliza Beebe Puffer, as he is shown with them in 1850 Federal Census and also the NY State Census of 1855 (D. Puffer).
