Name: John Buffam
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 28 Feb 1635
Baptism Place: Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England
Father: Robert Buffam
Mother: Thomasin
FHL Film Number: 1526327

I've just looked at the above image, Emma and it is definitely John. He was however baptised in the Ecclesiastical Year 1 Apr 1634 to 31 Mar 1635 so that would mean he was baptised in 1636.

If you would like the image I can send it to you later?

Have looked at other trees and as you say no John
mentioned.
His mother Thomasine Ward married a John Thomson
in 1632, wonder if they had a son called John.

Seems that the surname has been researched a few times.
