My Foremother was Elizabeth Cady Puffer. She was bn 1753 probably Coventry, Conn. She was the d/o Ebenezer and Prudence (Palmer) Cady. She is not found in the Cady book as one of their children, and I can't document that she is, but common sense says she is. She announced her intentions to marry Timothy Puffer in Dalton, Mass. They were married 11-25-1779 in Shaftsbury Vt. Both events are documented in those places. Children bn in Shaftsbury were my forefather, Ira John bn 6-19-1780/mar Mary VanWormer d/o Peter and Rachel (VanHoesen) VanWormer, and 2nd wife was Charity Pangborn d/o Richard and Catalyntjie (VanEtten) Pangborn. Their 2nd child was Clark bn11-6-1781/mar Charlotte Frees, widow of John and probably a Howe. Clark and his father helped to establish the town of Junius, Seneca Co., NY. 3rd child was David bn 7-29-1783 and mar Sarah Wilbur. They lived in Glenville, Schenectady Co., NY and died w/o issue. 4th child was Tammatha bn 9-15-1785 and mar Lemeuel Bullman, 5th child was Clarissa bn 12-24-1787 and mar Adonijah Chamberlain. 6th child was Elias bn @1789 in Ballston, Saratoga Co., NY. 7th child was Pamela bn @1792 and mar Pardon Davis. Her full name was probably "Elizabeth Pamela". 8th child was Arvilla bn @ 1794 and mar Lewis Groat. Another child, Timothy may have died in infancy. He is mentioned in the Puffer book, but there has been no evidence found on him. Timothy Puffer became a doctor and practiced medicine in many counties in NY. Elizabeth died 5-14-1796 and is buried on the old Puffer Farm in Glenville, NY. Timothy remarried a woman known only as Mary and they lived in Paris, Onieda Co., before moving to Junius. Timothy died and left his will which is recorded in Seneca, CO. He left everything to wife and his children. He died prob. 3-1827. His widow, Mary died 9-27-1841 in Junius. Her will is recorded there too. Her executor tried to locate the children of "Waterman Cady" who was deceased at the time of the execution of her will. I know Elisha and Ruth (Waterman) Cady had a son named Waterman Cady, and I have always wondered if this referred to Ruth and her children. Ruth died just prior to Mary. the executor was unable to locate this family and everything went in portion to each of Timothy's children mentioned above, as Mary had to living relatives. If anyone can add to this I would appreciate hearing from you, and if this helps anyone, I am glad to have shared. June
