Jerylin -- I have Wes Cochran's book of Lewis County Marriages 1817-1880 which shows a marriage on 5/15/1879 between Joseph Losh and Betsy A. Puffinbarger. No other references to Puffenbarger or Oates. The best source of information for all of Central WV is Hacker's Creek Pioneer Descendants. Their site is http://www.rootsweb.com/~hcpd/ Good luck.
