The Wafer family were United Empire Loyalists from Vermont who settled in Pittsburgh Township, about nine miles from Kingston, at the end of the revolutionary war. Francis Moses, son of Peter Wafer, was born in 1830. He was accepted by Queen's Medical Faculty in 1861, completed his second year of studies and then enlisted in the Union forces at Albany, serving to the end of the American Civil War. He returned to Queen's in 1865 and graduated with an M.D. in 1867. Having contracted tuberculosis during the war, Wafer was too ill to engage in medical practice upon graduation. A year later, having regained strength, he was appointed Demonstrator in Anatomy at Queen's and set up a private practice with Dr. Michael Sullivan. In 1875 he was appointed Professor of Medical Jurisprudence in the Medical Faculty but died the following year, aged forty-five.
