Greetings Jane, As a subscriber to this list for other family lines I get most all the stuff. Having gotten your message on "PUFFER" I addressed my large Aldrich data base as the name had an earl "ring". I am not following the Puffer line. Took the stub as was available and moved on. For your info what this stub is follows:-- James Puffer and wf. Mary Ludden had a daughter Jane Puffer, b. abt 1665; d. 17 Dec 1749 Smithfield, RI (prob). This Jane Puffer married Samuel Aldrich Sr. b 1665 Brainstree, Norfolk, MA. He being the Son of Joseph Aldrich and Patience Osborne. Samuel and Jane Puffer had 8 children;- Samuel Jr. b. 1681, Peter b. 1683, James b. 1685, Mary b. 1687, Richard b.1689, Ruth b. 1691, Abigail b. 1693, and John b. 1695. This according to 1) BOOK: Geo. Aldrich Genealogy by A. James Aldrich Vol 1, ref 10 pg. 41; 2) LETTER: Robyn Olivya Trickel Dowd, Santa Clarita, CA, 1 Nov 1995; 3)MANUSCRIPT: Aldrich Family Gen. by Ralph & Pearl Aldrich, with NAA Historian Robert Criswell at <RLC8551@cs.com>; As I have said I'm not pursuing this line.
