He migrated to New England about 1639 and settled in Braintree, Massachusetts. He was accompanied by his wife and three children; this is indicated by the fact that the land grant he received in Braintree was for five heads.
According to Charles Nutt
George Puffer, the first of the family in this country and the pioneer ancestor, lived but a few years after coming to New England, and we know very little about him. He was one of the residents of Boston to whom land was granted at Mount Wollaston, which was afterwards the town of Braintree, now the city of Quincy. The record shows that he was granted twenty acres and that there were five in his family, indicating that he had three children, February 24, 1639. His homestead was located about two miles east of the railroad station of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad (formerly the Old Colony Railroad) at Quincy. It is the site of the present Fore River shipyards. In the early records the name is often spelled Poffer.
