COLORADO
The present state of Colorado became part of the United States in 1848, and the first town, San Luis, was established in 1851. Colorado became a Territory in 1861 and a State in 1876. There is a census of sorts for 1850. In 1860, Colorado was a part of Kansas, lumped together as Arapahoe County, Kansas. In 1870 there was a Territorial Census. From 1880 on there was a Federal Census taken for the State.

COLORADO 1860
CENSUS
In 1860, Colorado was carried as a part of Arapahoe County, Kansas. These folks are also listed in my Kansas Census Report for 1860.
CHARLES PUTNAM Denver, Arapahoe County
He is from VT but no age is recorded. He is a laborer with James J. Runion. He is probably 24 VT and is the son of Franklin Putnam and Mary Reed from Cavendish, Vermont. His dad died in 1840, and in 1850 he was living with a family in Massachusetts. Kinda been all on his own his whole life.
D. T. PUTNAM South Park, Arapahoe County
He is 26 NY, a miner living with Henry Dinga. He looks like David Putman, a son of Henry Putman and Elizabeth Emhoff of Theresa, Jefferson County, New York. He was home there in 1850. Dutch family
E. PUTMAN South Park, Arapahoe County
He is 39 MO a miner living with L. C. Cotterell. His brother W. O. Putman lives next door. Considering that the only Putmans listed in Missouri in the 1820 census were John Putman and his family, they must be part of it. If so, they are our folks as I feel that John was the one from Greenup County, Kentucky and a son of Zachariah.
R. PUTNAM South Park, Arapahoe County
He is 37 KY, a miner with E. Needham. He also probably is one of ours as only our folks and one New Englander, Nathan Putnam, were in KY in the 1820s.
SAMUEL PUTNAM South Park, Arapahoe County
He is 45 NY and a trader living alone, probably in the woods somewhere.
W. O. PUTMAN South Park, Arapahoe County
He is a miner, 37 MO living with J. O'Neal next door to the E. Putman listed earlier.
COLORADO 1870
TERRITORIAL CENSUS
THOMAS G.
PUTNAM Denver, Arapahoe County
He is 32 NY and a lawyer living as a boarder. Looks like Thomas Garret Putman, a son of William Garrison Putman from Genesee County, New York. He will marry an Ella who is here in 1880, and both are here in 1900. According to his cemetery index he was born January 24, 1840, but doesn’t give date of death.
PETER PUTNAM Georgetown, Cleer Creek County
He is a miner, 27 ENG (which could well be Canada as that's how it was often listed). There is a Peter Putnam in Greeley in 1920 at age 77 WI. Might be him, but haven’t found him in between these reports.
PAULINA PUTNAM Central City, Gilpin County

She will be with her son Marvin in Alameda County, California in 1900, in Los Angeles in 1910 and in Seattle, Washington in 1920 at age 78. Okay, interesting stuff Ed Putnam dug up. Isaac Edgerton is a son of Pliney Putnam and Flora Edgerton from Chautauqua County New York and New England before that. The family was in Winona County Minnesota in 1857 and 1860, though Isaac wasn’t there then. He then became a doctor and was in Pocahontas Arkansas in a confederate hospital. Sarah was the one who nursed him back to health. Previously she was a spy for the Confederate Army. I guess Isaac was thankful and pleased and so he married Sarah and their son Marvin was born there. They will go back to Madison County Missouri and he will die there February 5, 1877. Sarah and the kids will be in Madison County, Missouri in 1880. She will be with her son Marvin in Alameda County, California in 1900, in Los Angeles in 1910 and in Seattle, Washington in 1920 at age 78. Marvin will be back in Los Angeles in the 1930 census running a hotel at that point.

In 1910 he was here in Denver married to a Lucia from Missouri. This listing has him as 45 OK, Clara 40 OK, Hamilton 17 OK, Catherine 11 OK and Clara 9 OK. This is wrong, all the kids were born in Colorado wife Clara is same as Lucia back in 1910.

This is right. He is listed 50 WI, Lucia C. (Clara) 45 MO, Hamilton W. 14 CO, Katherine R. 11 CO, Clara M. 9 CO. See, like different folks.
