When James Puffer was born on August 17, 1625, in Earl Shilton, Leicestershire, England, his father, George, was 25 and his mother, Martha, was 21. He arrived in America in 1639. James served under the military command of Captain Nathaniel Blake in 1650. He succeeded to his Father's homestead in Braintree, MA. His farm was at Ship Cove, now called Quincy Neck. Though he followed farming, he was also described as a boatman . He loved the Sea. He died on July 25, 1692, in Braintree, Massachusetts, at the age of 66.
Son of George Puffer.
Married Mary Ludden 14 Feb 1654/5 in Braintree.
Child: Jane (Puffer) Aldrich.
Elizabeth Sedley (as Jame's mother) is total conjecture. No documentary proof exists that George was married to her or that she actually existed. Reviewing passenger lists of those arriving to the new world between 1620 -1700, there are no Sedley's found. No colony records exists of any Sedleys during that time either.
