He settled in Westminster about the time of the incorporation, 1759, on Lot No 62, in the south part of the town, on the farm lately owned by Cephas W. Bush. In early youth he lost a thumb by the explosion of a gun in his hands and was disqualified for military service. When he enlisted, it is said that he passed the examination by wearing gloves of which the thumb of one was filled with wood. He was in the French War, as the following letter to his father at Sudbury shows:

"Halfway Brook, July ye 23, 1758.

He was an active, influential citizen, of good judgment, able and upright. He was a Representative to the General Court in 1787, 1790, and 1791. He was the best educated man in town, except perhaps the minister. He retained his health to the day of his death. He mowed an acre of heavy grass the day before he died, and, indeed, died in the hayfield next day, while making his hay, pitchfork in hand, and was found dead by a neighbor. He deeded land to his son Samuel in 1805 (W.D. 163, 452). His will was dated Jan. 10, 1806. The 1790 census shows he was living in Westminster, head of a family of nine.

Notes:

Mr. Puffer gives a pen picture of the Josiah Puffer homestead in Westminster: "Situated on a rising ground, separated from a lofty eminence only by a valley that modern engineering might bridge and in distinct view the bold Wachusett reared its lofty head; often hid in the clouds, the wind roaring it is forests, the precursor of the coming storm; or, when milder weather prevailed, far up its green slopes might be seen flocks and herds peacefully grazing upon its sides, the first light of morning gilding it and the party rays of sunset playing upon its summit; from whose top could be seen rivers and lakes, mountains and meadows giddy heights and gloomy hollows; villages and valleys, field and forests, farms and firesides; towns built for purposes of trade, and temples erected to t he worship of the Most High. Also in full view and at the foot of Wachusett could be seen a placid lake of the same name, better known, perhaps, as Foskett's 'Pork Barrel.' This was stocked with fish of various kinds, horn pouts predominating. These as you know are induced to come in schools to the shore by building fires near the water, and thus become easy prey to the angler. Here on fish forever fresh, near groves forever green, lived Daniel Foskett, and he was a good man and a Baptist, or as he expressed it, 'a burning and shining light in that part of the town, a candle of the Lord'. An unregenerate neighbor of his who lived on the opposite side of the lake said of him in connection with his burning and striking light, that he was so in pout-time, and as to his being a candle of the Lord: 'I suppose that he might be called a dipt candle.'"

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). DMC 12-4-22
