ARKANSAS

CENSUS REPORTS

1830 - 1930

UPDATED NOVEMBER 20, 2011

Arkansas was included in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and settlers first began coming into the area. Much land was opened up as bounty lands for service in the War of 1812 and many more people, including many Putmans, took advantage of the low land prices to settle in the area. Arkansas was separated from Missouri and became a Territory in 1819. It then included all of Oklahoma. On June 15, 1836 Arkansas became the 25th state. It seceded from the Union in 1861 and was readmitted in 1868.

The following is a listing of Putman and Putnam families that are found in the Arkansas Census Reports from 1830 to 1920. There was no census taken prior to 1830 and that was a territorial one, the first Federal State census was taken in 1840.

In the 1830 and 1840 census both males and females are listed 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, etc. From 1850 on names, ages and states of birth are shown.

ARKANSAS 1830 CENSUS

In 1830 there was only one Putman/Putnam family listed. That was:

SAMUEL PUTNAM Crawford County

He is from the New England branch. He is a son of Nathan Putnam and Dorothy Whitney from Sudbury, Massachusetts. Samuel was born in Sudbury on June 19, 1781. He married Mary Whitman there on August 15, 1806. He served in the War of 1812 in Washington County New York. He then seems to have moved with his father, Nathan, to Lexington, Kentucky right after the War, and then was in Missouri (of which Arkansas was a part then) around 1814-1816 and in 1819 was given a land grant in Arkansas for his service in the 1812 fighting. He arrived in Arkansas in 1819 while it was just a territory, but was there earlier (the 1814-16 date). It is stated that he was in Missouri, but prior to 1819 all of Arkansas was Arkansas County Missouri. Samuel and Mary will remain near Fort Smith for the rest of their lives. Mary Whitman Putnam died there in 1846 and Samuel Putnam died there in 1847. His line goes back Samuel > Nathan > John > Samuel > John > Nathaniel > John Putnam from England.

ARKANSAS 1840 CENSUS

In the 1840 census both males and females are listed 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, etc.

SAMUEL PUTNAM Upper Township, Crawford County

The various state tax lists from 1830 to 1840 indicated both a Samuel junior and a Samuel Senior, living in Upper Township. Sam junior died in 1837, Sam Senior will die in 1847. This listing is 01110001 – 0020001. Their kids will be here in 1850.

REDING PUTMAN Prairie Township, Washington County

The listing is 0111001 – 000000011. He’s my great great grandfather. Reading was born in South Carolina on April 20, 1792. He was a son of Daniel Putman and Prudence Skelton. The older woman is his mother Prudence. He moved with the family to Kentucky, and then Indiana where his dad died in 1816. He married Stacy Combs and moved to Illinois. He fought in the Black Hawk War there, and got ‘Bounty Lands’ in Arkansas for his service. Stacy died in 1827. He then married a widow, Phebe Marsh Stelle, in 1829. She is with him now. They first appeared in the 1837 tax list along with his brother William, but were here about 1836. Reding will be here till he dies in 1865. Phebe will hang in till 1884 when she is 84 years old. This line goes back Reding > Daniel > Barnet > Thomas > Zachariah > Thomas > Thomas >Thomas Putnam from England.

WILLIAM PUTMAN West Fork Township, Washington County

The listing is 2121101 – 0011001. Reding's older brother William and his family. William was born in Anderson, South Carolina March 15, 1796. He married Alla Bridges in Gibson County Indiana in 1817. They went to Illinois in 1823 with Reding and then down here in 1836. He is a school teacher as he was in Illinois and Indiana. William will die here June 16, 1862. Alla will go with a daughter to Indiana and then to Kansas where she will die August 12, 1887. This line is the same as Reding’s.

ARKANSAS 1850 CENSUS

JOHN PUTNAM Upper Township, Crawford County

John Whitman Putnam is listed as 30 years old, born in Missouri (in what is now Arkansas, but was in Missouri then). John is a son of Samuel Putnam and Mary Whitman from here and Massachusetts before that. Also here is his brother Nathan 25 AR, Mary Oliphant 14 AR (daughter of his sister Caroline Oliphant), Susan Richardson 28 AR (his widowed sister), and the following Richardson kids, James 12 AR, Sarah 10 AR, Henry 8 AR, Jonah 6 AR, David 3 AR, and a son 6 months. There is Elizabeth McDonald 34 KY and three kids: Samuel 13 AR, John 11 AR and Lucy 8/12 AR. Elizabeth McDonald is another of John’s sisters. She married Alan McDonald. Then, shortly John will marry Elizabeth Gould Richardson, and they are here in 1860. He will die in 1862 and Elizabeth will marry for the third time and be here with some kids and her husband August Smith.

EMILY PUTNAM Upper Township, Crawford County

There is a blank line above Emily's name. Nathan should have been listed here and not above with his brother. Emily Meeks was his wife. Emily 17 MO, William T. 5 months AR, Safron Oliphant 8 AR (niece) and two laborers William Walker and William Hazen both from KY. Nathan is John's brother. Nathan and Emily will be heading out to California soon, and be in Los Angeles in the 1852 State Census. They will remain there. Then in the next listing is a Barrington family. Jane Barrington is another child of Samuel Putnam and Mary Whitman. The listing is James C. Barrington 23 KY, Jane 35 KY and she has 5 Thayer kids from her first marriage to Benjamin Thayer, Margaret 15 AR, Mary 13 AR, John W. 9 AR, Nathan 7 AR and Susan F. 4 TX.

NANCY PUTMAN Mulberry Township, Franklin County

Nancy is listed as 43 born in KY. With her is a group of children: John 16 AR, Mary J. 14 AR, Jasper H. 11 AR, Ally F. 7 AR. All of the children are listed as Bourlands and not Putmans. Also there is William Reeves 56. Franklin County lies between Crawford and Johnson Counties. I do not know who her deceased husband was. She will be here still in 1860 and Ally is then called a Putman, and also here in 1870 and 1880. Nancy is Nancy Hardwick and she married John Bacon Bourland in 1824 and he died in 1840. She must have married a Putman or Putnam after that as Alley was born after John died. Only really available one in the area would have been Sam junior from Crawford County. He was around in 1840, but not in 1850. Best guess is that he was a second husband, except I have him dying unmarried in 1837. She also went under the name Nancy Merriman in the 1840s. Very confusing.

BERRY BARTON PUTMAN Horsehead Township, Johnson County

Berry is 30 GA, wife Martha Frances Tate his wife 25 GA, Adolphus 6 GA and Mary Ann 1 GA. Berry is a son of Thomas Putman and Mary Barton from the Pendleton District in South Carolina. Thomas was a brother of my ggggrandfather Daniel. Both were sons of Barnet and Sarah Putman. When Barnet and Daniel’s kids went to Kentucky in 1804, Thomas went too, but then about 1817 moved to Hall County Georgia where Berry was born in 1820. Barry married Martha Tate there November 28, 1843 and came here about 1848. They will be here a year or so, then move to Franklin County Arkansas. They will stay there till 1856 and go to Grayson County Texas for a year and return to Sebastian County Arkansas below Fort Smith and stay there for the rest of their lives. His line is Berry >Thomas > Barnet > Thomas > Zachariah > Thomas > Thomas > Thomas Putnam of Virginia and England before that.

WILLIAM PUTMAN Prairie Township, Washington County

William is listed as 50 SC with his wife Alla Bridges 48 KY, Solomon 20 IL, George 14 IL, Joseph 12 IL, Prudence 9 AR. They were in West Fork. William was born in Anderson, South Carolina March 15, 1796. He married Alla Bridges in Gibson County Indiana in 1817. They went to Illinois in 1823 with Reding and then down here in 1836. He is a school teacher as he was in Illinois and Indiana. William will die here June 16, 1862. Alla will go with a daughter to Indiana and then to Kansas where she will die August 12, 1887

REDING PUTMAN Prairie Township, Washington County

Reding is listed in Prairie township as 58 SC, Phoebe Marsh Stelle 62 NC (should be NJ) and Reding junior 20 IL. He’s my great great grandfather. Reading was born in South Carolina on April 20, 1792. He was a son of Daniel Putman and Prudence Skelton. The older woman is his mother Prudence. He moved with the family to Kentucky, and then Indiana where his dad died in 1816. He married Stacy Combs and moved to Illinois. He fought in the Black Hawk War there, and got ‘Bounty Lands’ in Arkansas for his service. Stacy died in 1827. He then married a widow, Phebe Marsh Stelle, in 1829. She is with him now. They first appeared in the 1837 tax list along with his brother William, but were here about 1836. Reding will be here till he dies in 1865. Phebe will hang in till 1884 when she is 84 years old.

D. T. (DANIEL THOMAS) PUTMAN West Fork, Washington County

Listed as Pulman. This is Daniel Thomas Putman, son of William Putman and Alla Bridges. He is listed as 32 IN, wife Rachel Musgrove 31 TN, Francis 7 AR, Rebecca 4 AR, and William 1 AR. Rachel's mother, Nancy Musgrove lives two farms away. He is listed as Thomas Putman in 1860.

ARKANSAS 1860 CENSUS

JAMES PUTMAN Mount Vernon Township, Benton County

He is age 38 TN, with his wife Marinda Patterson 33 TN, John 8 AR, Sarah 7 AR, Margaret 5 AR and Elviry 4 AR. This is James Pervine Putman born in Tennessee January 8, 1822 to Jahu Putman and Rachel Bond. Jahu was a son of Joseph and Millie Putman from South Carolina. He married Marinda January 8, 1845. They were in Williamson County Tennessee in 1850 and here shortly afterwards. Marinda will die here in 1863, and James will marry Mary Newcome in 1865. He will be a State Legislator in the 1870s and die in Rogers, Arkansas July 31, 1882. This line is James > Jahu > Joseph > James > Zachariah > Zachariah > Thomas >Thomas > Thomas Putnam from England.

JOHN B. (BOND) PUTMAN Prairie Grove Township, Benton County

He is age 30 TN, wife Matilda Bond 27 TN, Mary 7 AR, John 3 AR, Lisett 1 AR. This is John Bond Putman another of Jahu and Rachel's children. He was born March 18, 1829 in Tennessee and married Matilda Jane Bond in Wilson County on January 4, 1850. He came here with his brother James here around 1852. He will die in the Civil War in 1862, and Matilda must have died in the 60s as well, as the kids are all with her mother Martha Bond by the 1870.

GEORGE P. PUTMAN Prairie Grove Township, Benton County

Listed in Prairie Grove with his brother John. He is 26 TN, wife Mary Caroline Brown 27 NC, William 6 AR. One more of Jahu's kids. He was born in Tennessee July 18, 1833. They will be here through the 1880, but not make it till 1900. They just had the one son, William James Putman.

A. V. PUTMAN Monticello, Drew County

He is 20 GA a cabinet maker living with several other cabinet makers.

J. S. PUTMAN Ozark, Franklin County

Listed in town of Ozark as a carpenter 30 TN, wife Sarah A. 22 IL, Francis 4 IL, Mary J. 2 IL. Best guess is he is James L. Putnam who was with his mother Elizabeth in Jefferson County Tennessee in 1850.

NANCY PUTMAN Pleasant Hill, Franklin County

Still living in Pleasant Hill age 51 KY with her daughter Alley 16 AR. Alley is now listed Putman. I believe that Nancy is Samuel Putman Junior's widow. Nancy is Nancy Hardwick and she married John Bacon Bourland in 1824 and he died in 1840. She must have married a Putman or Putnam after that as Alley was born after John died.

JACOB PUTMAN Mountain Township, Pike County

Listed as being 49 and widowed since his wife Sarah Johnson died back in Georgia in 1853. He has a son C. (Clinton) E. Putman 14, GA. This is the Jacob Putman who was a son of Ezekiel Putman born in Hall County Georgia March 13, 1810. They were in Walker County Georgia in 1840, and in DeKalb County Alabama in 1850. He had a son Clinton E. age 4 and Richard age 1 then. He will die here before 1870. This line goes back Jacob > Ezekiel > Barnet > Thomas > Zachariah > Thomas > Thomas > Thomas Putnam.

J. R. (JACOB RICHARD) PUTMAN Mountain Township, Pike County

This is Richard Jacob Putman. Living near his father Jacob Putman with the Patton family. He is shown as 11 born in AL (should be GA). His mom Narcisa Patton 32 TN, Bradford 7 AL and Florence 3 AR. Jacob had a son Richard who would have been 11 in 1860. Narcisa was the common law wife of sorts of Jacob Putman. She is using her maiden name, because she probably was never married. Narcissa later will refer to herself as the ‘widow of Jacob Putman’ in a document later in this decade. Richard will be here living with another family in 1870.

E. C. (ELIJAH COVINGTON) PUTMAN Pike County

This is Elijah Covington Putman and his second wife Malinda White. He is 34 GA and a blacksmith. She is 22 TN. There are no children listed. Kids do appear in the 1870 and 1880 census, all were born in AR. Elijah was married earlier back in Georgia to Mary Ellen Dodd, and they had several children. It seems Elijah abandoned them with their Dodd grandparents and took off to Arkansas on his own. Those kids, John, Rebecca and Henrietta all are still in Georgia and never will join up with Elijah again. Elijah is a son of Elias and Libby Putman who was a son of Ezekiel Putman and Hannah Brazelton of Hall County Georgia. His lineage is Elijah > Elias > Ezekiel > Barnet > Thomas > Zachariah > Thomas > Thomas >Thomas Putnam.

BERRY BARTON PUTMAN Bate Township, Sebastian County

He appears again with Martha and some new kids. He was in Johnson County in 1850. Berry is 40 GA, Martha Tate, his wife, 33 GA, (Thomas) Adolphus 15 GA, Mary 11 AR, George 8 AR, Nancy 4 AR and Eliza 1 AR. Berry is a son of Thomas Putman and Mary Barton from the Pendleton District in South Carolina. Thomas was a son of Barnet and Sarah Putman from South Carolina. When Barnet and Daniel’s kids went to Kentucky in 1804, Thomas went too, but then about 1817 moved to Hall County Georgia where Berry was born in 1820. Barry married Martha Tate there November 28, 1843 and came here about 1848. Martha will die in 1864 and he will marry a widow, Sally Cardin in 1865. They will be here in 1870.

He appears in Fort Smith, Upper Township and is 40 born in MO, wife Elizabeth 30 AL, Jane 14 AR, Mary 13 AR, Susan 7 AR, Sarah 4 AR, Lucy 3 AR and John 2 AR. He was here in 1850, but it was part of Crawford County at that time. John is a son of Samuel Putnam and Mary Whitman from here and Massachusetts before that. He has married Elizabeth Gould who was previously married to a Robertson. The two older kids are hers and are Richardsons. The three young ones are Putnams. John will die in 1862, and his Elizabeth will remarry to August Smith and be here with the three kids in 1870.

ANDERSON PUTMAN Greenville, Sevier County

He is in Greenville, Saline township and is 36 AL. His wife Henrietta A. Turrentine is 29 AL, J.T. (John Turrentine) 4 AL and Bettie S. 2 AR.

Rhoda will be around till she dies in 1909 at age 96.

SARAH E. PUTMAN Greenville, Sevier County

She is the widow of William Putman, another son of John and Lucy Putman. She is 24 AL and living in the next house as head of the household. Living with her are a woman M. L. Turrentine 22 AL, Harrison Turrentine 19 AL, Oscar Love 26 and probably his wife Catherine Love 21 SC, William Love 32 VA and brother T. R. Love 24 VA. Sarah is probably a Turrentine as well. William was born in Morgan County Alabama in 1824, and probably died shortly after arriving here.

REDING PUTMAN Fayetteville, Washington County

Reding senior 66 SC, his second wife Phebe Marsh Stelle 69 NJ and a cousin Jane Stelle 15 AR. When the Civil War began, Reding was supportive of the Union that he had fought for so many times in the past. As a result, Rebels burned his house to the ground in 1862, and Reding and Phebe moved to their son’s home in Fayetteville. He will die there at age 73 on September 9, 1865. Phebe will be there till she dies in 1884. Also in the house is Wilson Risley 25 AR and Mary his wife 23 TN. Now Wilson was a son of John Risley and Delilah Putman who was Reding Senior’s daughter. Wilson’s wife is Tennessee Reed who is the sister of Reding Junior’s wife Elizabeth Reed. Families got along okay.

REDING PUTMAN (JR.) Fayetteville, Washington County

Young Reding is 29 IL, his wife Elizabeth Reed 24 TN, Ann 4 AR, Robert 2 AR and Mary 1 AR are living next door to his father. Also there is David Evans 11 AR who I have no clues about. Reding Putman Jr. was born on September 12, 1830 in Putman Township, Fulton County Illinois. On May 10, 1855, Reding married Elizabeth Reed in Prairie Township, Washington County. Elizabeth and her family had moved there from Georgia three years earlier. Elizabeth was the daughter of Robert Reed and Elizabeth Fagala. She was born south of Knoxville, Tennessee in Sevier County on June 14, 1835. Reding junior is now a physician in Fayetteville. They will be here all their lives.

WILLIAM PUTMAN West Fork, Washington County

Reding's brother William 65 SC, Alla Bridges 59 SC, and children Joseph 20 AR and Prudence 17 AR. His children William, Calvin, Hazeal and Elizabeth had married and moved on by 1860. William was born in Anderson, South Carolina March 15, 1796. He married Alla Bridges in Gibson County Indiana in 1817. They went to Illinois in 1823 with Reding and then down here in 1836. He is a schoolteacher as he was in Illinois and Indiana. William will die here June 16, 1862. Alla will go with a daughter to Indiana and then to Kansas where she will die August 12, 1887.

(DANIEL) THOMAS PUTMAN West Fork, Washington County

This is William and Alla's eldest son, Daniel Thomas Putman 41 IN and his wife Rachel Musgrove 40 TN and their children Sarah 17, Thomas 14, Lucinda 10, Malinda 7, Lavinia 4 and Emily 1. All the children were born in Arkansas.

His folks were Solomon Putman and Harriett Woodson from Union County South Carolina. His wife is Martha Overton. They were married in Carroll County Tennessee in November 1852. They are living in Jackson Township in the middle portion of Arkansas. I do not find him in Arkansas in 1870. I assume he died in the Civil War like so many others. This line goes back William > Solomon > John > Thomas > Zachariah > Thomas > Thomas > Thomas Putnam.

JAMES C. PUTMAN Dardanelle, Yell County

James 27 TN and wife Eleanor 25 TN. He will die in the very late1860s and Eleanor or Eleanea will remarry to a Charles Lewis on December 19, 1869. In the 1870 listing will be his two children. The children appear through 1900. I am not certain who he is or who his folks were. Then there is a marriage record of a James Putman marring Catherine Harrison here August 8, 1867. And another of a Mrs. M. C. Putman marrying David Farrell here November 5, 1876. So … maybe he and Eleanea split and each grabbed another spouse before 1870. Just not sure.

WILLIAM J. (JAMES) PUTMAN Riley, Yell County

This is the son of William and Allie Putman in Washington County. William 31 IL is shown with his wife Lucinda Sims 32 IN and their children James W. 10 MO and Julia A. 10 MO. He was living in Lawrence County Missouri in the 1850 census. I believe it is he that is in Red River County Texas in 1870 with his son James.

ARKANSAS 1870 CENSUS

JAMES (MONROE) PUTNAM Old River, Arkansas County

He is a farmer 28 AL, Sarah Elizabeth Poe 18 TN and John H. 9/12 TN. He is a son of Howard Mercer Putman and Sarah Burch, and was born in Benton County Alabama on March 21, 1842.

JAMES PUTMAN Osage, Benton County

James Pervine Putman 48 TN and second wife Mary Newcombe is 32 TN with kids John 18 AR, Sarah 17 AR, Josephine (Margaret) 15 AR, Sophronia (Elviry) 14 AR, Mary 9 AR and William 8 AR.

John Bond Putman was born March 18, 1829. He married Matilda Jane Bond on January 4, 1850. John had died 1862 and it seems that his wife had died in the 1860s as well. Martha is their grand mother.

MARY PUTMAN Lower Township, Franklin County

This is Mary Freeman Putman, widow of Thomas Whitney Putman from Georgia. She is 35 GA with William 16 GA, Celestia 12 GA, Ella 10 GA and Thomas 7 GA. They are living in Lower Township, Ozark, Arkansas. Thomas was a son of David Putman and Lecy Castlebury from Hall County Georgia and a grandson of Thomas Putman and Mary Barton from South Carolina and then Georgia. Thomas Whitney was born in 1831 in Cherokee County. He married Mary Freeman there on July 21, 1853. In the 1860 census he is listed as a merchant and they had two children.

The kids are all in Sebastian County near Fort Smith by 1880.

NANCY PUTMAN Mullberry, Franklin County

Still here at age 62 TN (changes every year was AL, KY, TN). With her is Jesse Milton 4 AR, a grandchild. Nancy is Nancy Hardwick and she married John Bacon Bourland in 1824 and he died in 1840. She must have married a Putman or Putnam after that as Alley was born after John died. Only really available one in the area would have been Sam junior from Crawford County. He was around in 1840, but not in 1850. Best guess is that he was a second husband, except I have him dying unmarried in 1837. She also went under the name Nancy Merriman in the 1840s. Very confusing. She was here in the 1840s and will be in 1880.

JOHN PUTMAN White Oak, Franklin County

He is John Augustus Putman, a son of William Jacob Putman and Martha Hampton from DeKalb County Alabama. William was a son of Ezekiel Putman from Georgia. John is 27 AL and Elizabeth Brown 27 TN and children William 3 GA and Joseph 3 months AR. They are living in a household headed by Thomas McBride 42 NC and Agnes McBride 30 NC.

In 1880 the family will be in Parker County Texas, and then back here in Sebastian County Arkansas by 1900. John will die there October 28, 1904.

WILLIAM PUTMAN White Oak, Franklin County

He is William J. Putman, Junior 22 AL, John Augustus Putman's brother. He is living with a Monroe Burch 34 TN and Mary 36 TN and their family next door to the above John in White Oak Township. This listing is interesting. Forrester Putman married Ayrie Burch in Alabama, and his brother married Sally Burch, so Monroe is kinfolk. He will be in Tarrant County Texas in 1880 and 1900 and married to Bettie Ann Farmer. His widowed mother Martha will be with him in 1880.

ALEX PUTNAM Talladega, Jefferson County

He is 21 TN and works on a farm with Henry Nicks. Best guess is he is a son of Martin and Juda Putman from McNairy County Tennessee. He was listed in 1850 as William 1, and in 1860 as William A. 10. Only guy that fits.

SELESTE & ELLA PUTNAM Clark, Johnson County

Celeste is 12 GA, Ella 10 GA. They are at school and living with a Freeman family. The Eliza 35 GA is their mom. She is Mary Elizabeth Freeman, now the widow of Thomas Whitney Putman who died in the Civil War. They were in Cherokee County Georgia in 1860.

JOHN W. PUTNAM Spadra, Johnson County

He is a farmer 28 AL, Sarah Poe his wife 18 TN, John 1 TN. He was listed earlier in Arkansas County. Just moving I guess. He is a son of Howard Mercer Putman and Sarah Burch, and was born in Benton County Alabama on March 21, 1842. He walked from his home in Alabama to Nashville to join the 3^rd Tennessee Infantry. He was injured in the battle of Chattanooga. He moved up to Hamilton County Tennessee and married Sarah there September 25, 1867. He and the family will be in Bledsoe County Tennessee by 1880.

He is 21 AL, his wife Phebe A. Farmer 23 TN, Almeda 11 AL, Anna 2 AR, and Martha J. 7/12 AR. He is Robert Martin Putman son of Wilson Putman junior and Rebecca Flemming. The father had died in Alabama and three sons and two daughters moved to Carroll County in the 60s. Phebe will die and he and the kids will be in Carroll County themselves in 1880. He will be remarried, the kids will be with Phebe’s folks then. His line is Robert > Wilson > Wilson > Benjamin > Thomas > Zachariah > Thomas > Thomas > Thomas Putnam.

RICHARD PUTMAN Mountain Township, Pike County

He is Richard Jacob Putman 21 GA and living with Robert Coffman and family. He is a son of Jacob Putman and Narcissa Patton. Narcissa was the common law wife of sorts of Jacob Putman. She is using her maiden name, because she was never married. Narcissa later will refer to herself as the ‘widow of Jacob Putman’ in a document later in this decade. He never seemed to have lived with his father Jacob. However in a letter his father Jacob wrote in 1863, he was listed as a son.

He and Mary Newcomb his second wife are still alive, 58 TN and 42 TN. They have Mary 19 AR and William 17 AR at home. Jahu, his father is listed as John 86 SC SC SC, but a line was then drawn through the name and marked deceased. Jahu died January 17, 1881 and the census was taken a few months earlier. I guess the recorder scratched out his name when he was making the final tabulations. James Putman will die in Rogers, Arkansas on July 31, 1882 of typhoid fever.

He came down from Oregon County Missouri and will be in Eastland County Texas in time for the 1900 census. There also is a 6 year old James Putman living in the County with a Mickins family, but he is listed as a nephew born in AR but father born in NY and mother in PA so not certain of the relationship here. Think he is a son of James brother William Putman.

NANCY PUTMAN Mulberry, Franklin County

She is 74 AL AL AL, and lives with Hume and Adaline Bourland. Nancy is Nancy Hardwick and she married John Bacon Bourland in 1824 and he died in 1840. She must have married a Putman or Putnam after that as Alley was born after John died. Only really available one in the area would have been Sam junior from Crawford County. He was around in 1840, but not in 1850. Best guess is that he was a second husband. She also went under the name Nancy Merriman in the 1840s. She’s been here since the 1840s.

Berry is now 60 GA, and lists himself as widowed. Daughters Nancy 23 AR and Eliza 21 AR are still at home as is a niece Ella Putman 20 GA. Sally or Sarah Carden his second wife is alive and does appear in this census in Washington County with her Carden Kids and their daughter Millie Putman 14. I assume they divorced.

With them are her three children by a prior marriage: Mollie Null 11 AR, Jennie Null 10 AR and Minnie Null 6 AR. Also with them is Mary Taylor 61 IN KY TN listed as mother in law. This leads me to believe Sarah was a Taylor who married a Null who had died.

SARAH PUTMAN Fayetteville, Washington County

She is or was the second wife of Berry Barton Putman. She is 55 NC and with her son Ed Carden 25 AR, who is an Insurance Agent in Fayetteville and daughter Mallie J. Carden is 23 AR. Then there is the only daughter she and Barry had, Millie F. Putman 14 AR. Sarah died August 19, 1881. Her obituary stated she had been living in Fayetteville for 4-5 years, so she must have been divorced or separated. She lists herself as being married, Barry states he is widowed. Guess the second marriage just didn't work out as hoped.

There are also some 16 boarders who were studying at the new University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. They put up students for years. They had a big house. Also of the first 6 students at what is now University of Arkansas 2 were kids of Reding and Elizabeth. I remember back in the 1970s, my folk went back to Fayetteville and were honored as descendants of the first year of students on the 100^th Anniversary of the school.

JOSEPH PUTMAN Lower LaFave, Yell County

Joseph Henry Putman is 11 AR AR AR and listed as a son of John and Sarah (Braton) Lackey of Lower Lefarve Township. I have no idea to whom he is related, but I think it is to William J. Putman, son of Daniel Thomas Putman. A relative states that Joseph was illegitimate and while his father was a Putman, his mother was a Brown. Now to further confuse you. I have spoken with a Peggy Lackey in Arkansas, and she says her husband is a stepson of Emma Putman (a daughter of Daniel Thomas Putman) who married John Gallagher in Washington County in 1877. Must be a connection here. See 1900 for his family.

WILLIAM PUTMAN Riley, Yell County

William 10 AR TN AR is listed as a nephew living with William and Rebecca Ray. William Ray is 26 TN and Rebecca is 20 AR GA AR. She may be a Putman. I believe that William Putman might be a brother of the above Joseph. William is a son of William James Putman and Malinda Harrison. They were married here, he was born here, but they were in Red River County Texas in 1870. Something happened as he is suddenly back here with relatives. See 1900 Yell County for his family.
