    Notes:

    He began to preach in 1822, was admitted to New England Conference in 1823, and preached for 44 years. He had pastorates in Hingham in 1823 and North Cohasset, Hull and other towns in this section. During the time he was settled in No. Cohasset, and the society among which he labored being poor and weak, he supplemented his church work by some kind of manual labor, the receipts from which thus enabled him to live among people he loved. He had a very strong feeling of attachment for the people of the Hingham society, which he was largely instrumental in establishing, and after his death in 1882 his widow gave the First Methodist Episcopal Society $1,000 for the purpose of building them a parsonage. It is nearly half a century since Mr Puffer preached in the ancient town of Hingham, yet the aroma of his work is fragrant to this day. He and wife Sally deeded his share of the estate of Jonas to his brother James Puffer in 1824 (W.D. 313-547). He was then of Westminster. His will dated April 23, 1867, at Westminster, bequeathed to his brother James, sisters Lucy and Mary.

    According to William S. Heywood’s 1893 History of Westminster, “About the year 1816 the early military division of the town into two sections, each having its respective company, was virtually abandoned, and a more general system was adopted. In place of the old organizations, a Rifle Company was formed, which, though originally composed of men from the northern section of the territory, at length drew its members from all directions, representing in its own field the entire community. It was in existence some twenty or more years, attaining a high standing and an enviable reputation in military circles abroad, while at home it was regarded with much pride by those interested in the profession of arms." James Puffer was one of the charter members in this Rifle Company. The charter was surrendered about 1837.
