MAY 10, 2011
Initially
I will list the entries by Town and County. I have then listed by the way they
come up in the actual census to show proximity to each other. This will give a
better idea who lives near one another, and should help in determining family
groups. If possible, I have included the person’s ‘number’ based on the various
books by Eben Putnam on the Putnam Family.
CONNECTICUT
1790 CENSUS
In the
1790 census, the columns in the report are for males over 16, males under 16
and females of all ages. If a 4th number is listed, it is a listing
for ‘all other whites’ which generally meant an unrelated servant.
Listing
is 1-3-3. He is number 936, a son of Jonathan Putnam (359) and Sarah Perley of
Salem Village (now Danvers), Massachusetts. He was born there September 6,
1756. He married Olive Osborne (I believe here in Connecticut) in about 1880.
He served in the Connecticut Militia in the Revolution. He will be here in
1800, and then die, and Olive and the kids (Nathan and Jeremiah) will be off to
New York State. Olive was a daughter of Daniel and Sarah Osborne and was born
in Ridgefield, Connecticut July 4, 1756 (a ‘few’ years before it became a HolidayJ). This line is Aaron (936) > Jonathan > Jonathan >
Jonathan > John > John Putnam.
Listing
is 1-1-1. He is not in the line of John Putnam of Salem, Mass. He was born in Yorkshire
in the north of England in about 1760, but seems to have been in Gloucester in
Southwest England prior to sailing over here. He came to Hartford in about
1785-86 with his brother Thomas, who continued up to Vermont. John married
Hannah Dillings of Newington here in Wethersfield September 11, 1788. So far
they have one child, John junior born in 1789. They are listed in Hartford in
1800 and 1810. John will die October 3, 1816, and Hannah will be here until she
dies July 9, 1857.
Listing
is 3-0-1. He is a son of Cornelius Putnam (339) and Elizabeth Perkins of
Stafford, Tolland County. He was born in Royalston, Massachusetts September 21,
1765. Cornelius and his family were the only ones in this neck of the woods at
that time. He has just married Miriam Pease of Somers, Tolland County on May
15, 1788. The two other men must be brothers (probably John and Reuben, not
sure where they were in 1790) or boarders. They will be in Oneida County New
York by the 1800 census.
The
listing is 1-2-1. He is number 906E, a son of Cornelius Putnam (339) and
Elizabeth Perkins. He is married to Ruth Davis. The sons are Cornelius and
Stephen. They will be off to New York State soon.

November 18, 1759 and will die here April 30, 1831. He married Catherine
Hutchinson in Boston on September 2, 1782. He will be a farmer here the rest of
his life.

Putnam and his new wife Lucy Frink and family. Peter and Lucy were married July
9, 1785. The general will die here May 29, 1790. His son Israel (241) has left
his family here while setting up a new home in Belpre, Ohio. He had gone there
with his cousin Rufus and the Ohio Company. He is returning home this summer to
pick up his family and take them to Ohio. He may or may not be included here.
But everyone is out of here this year.
Listing
is 1-5-1. He is number 537, a son of Nehemiah Putnam number 204 and Sarah
Manning of Sutton. Reuben was born in Sutton April 9, 1757, and married
Elizabeth Mason in Sutton November 7, 1780. He is only here a year or two, and
then will return to Sutton. He
lives right along with all the others here in Brooklyn.

Rebecca Putnam of North Reading, Massachusetts. He was born there December 15,
1733. He married Rebecca Hall of Sutton, Massachusetts October 23, 1760. She
died from a carriage accident in 1773. Aaron then married Elizabeth Avery of
Brooklyn in May 1777. They are here in Brooklyn in 1800. He will be here until
he dies in 1813. Their son Aaron is a minister like his dad. After dad dies, he
and mom and some sisters will go to Cherry Valley, New York where he will die

In
the 1800 census both males and females are broken into 0-9, 10- 15, 16-25,

21 NY, a machinist. He lives in a boarding house. He is a son of Benjamin and
Mary Putnam. He was shown at home in Seneca, Ontario County New York in 1850.
His father, Benjamin, was born here in Connecticut in 1806-07. Not sure who he
is though.
He is
32 CT, Mary 5 CT. They are in a boarding house. Don’t find him in 1850, and the
last name may or may not be Putnam.
He is
26 NJ and a merchant. Indexed as Edmund, but he is number 2830, a son of Andrew
Wilkins Putnam (1273) and Rachel Smiley of Somerset County New Jersey. He was
born in Plainfield, New Jersey December 11, 1834, and was shown at home in
1850. His dad was a woolen worker, Ed’s probably out selling sweaters for dad.
He married Cornelia Van Deren in Newark, New Jersey February 20, 1860. She must
be back home, though not listed in the 1860 New Jersey census. In 1870, Edwin,
Cornelia and some kids will all be in Newark. Cornelia will be widowed by the
1900 census.
She is
50 CT and in a boarding house. She lists her occupation as ‘Lady.’ She is an
unwed daughter of William and Mary Putnam from Windham County. She was home
with mom in 1850.
He is
18 CT and a seaman. In 1850 he was living with Parkerson and Mary Hadley. Mary
is his mommy. There is a marriage record of John M. Putnam marrying Mary Ann
Packer (Parker?) in Groton on July 8, 1841. They are his folks. Then there is
another marriage record where Mary Ann Putnam married William Parkinson Hadley
of Groton on April 20, 1845. So John died or something and Mary Ann remarried.
This John will enlist in the 21st Connecticut Infantry Company C as
a Private on August 13, 1862. He will be killed July 1, 1864 and brought back
and buried in Jordan Cemetery here in Waterford. His dad should be John Miller
Putnam born June 22, 1815, a son of Calvin Putnam and Chloe Chapman. Got this
info from Rand Putnam, but we don’t have a birthplace or much else. Calvin was
from New Hampshire and married Chloe in Heath, Massachusetts. They went briefly
to Connecticut and were in Cortland County New York by the 1820.
He is
now 64 MA, Lucy Dean 47 CT and Emma E. 15 CT. Emma seems to be his
granddaughter. She was listed in 1850 with his son Benjamin as Eunice E. age 5
then.
He is
28 MA, a wheelwright, and boarding. He is a son of Russell Putnam (2156) and
Adeline Bass from Charlton, Worcester County. He was home there in 1850. He’ll
be married here in 1870 and 1880.
He is

a couple of years), Eliza Day 45 CT, Harriet 26 CT, Mary 25 CT, John B. 23 CT,
Sarah 21 CT, William 17 CT, Catherine B. 12 CT and a bunch of farm hands out in

Riverius Camp 49 CT. She is Mary Spaulding, widow of William Putnam (686). She
will still be here in 1880 at age 94. Not bad!
He is
number 1635, a son of William (686) and Mary Putnam. He was born July 16, 1820.
He married Sarah Elizabeth Wilber in Plainfield, Connecticut March 25, 1851. He
is now 40 CT, Sarah Elizabeth 30 CT, Abby Wilbur 8 CT, Israel P. 4 CT, Mary 3
CT and George Brinley 2 CT. They will be in Canterbury, Connecticut in the next
year and have two more kids. He will die there July 30, 1868. Sarah is gonna
hang in there in Canterbury till September 1, 1870.
She is
67 MA and lives with David Hall 68 MA and his wife Nancy 55 MA. She is number
2733, a spinster daughter of Archelaus Putnam (1220) and Phoebe Hicks of
Sutton, Massachusetts. She was born there May 22, 1793. Nancy is her sister,
number 2736. Nancy was born February 17, 1805. She married Simon Tenney of
Sutton in 1828, who died in 1856. She then married David Hall a physician.
He is
14 CT and working on the Blackman farm. Zara Blackman is 58, Mary 51. Henry is
a son of Austin and Mary Putnam of Sturbridge, Mass. He was home there in 1850.
He will soon marry Mary Blackman and be in Gloucester, Rhode Island in 1870 and
back here by 1880. In 1880, he will have a daughter living here with Zora and
Mary Blackman and they are listed as grandparents. Rand and I think the Mary
Blackman here is his mother who divorced Austin in the 1850s. The age is wrong
here, but is PERFECT in the 1880. See that listing, but don’t bet the family
farm.
He is
48 RI, living with a Cary family from Canada.
He is
17 CT and a laborer on a Fish family farm. He is a son of Willard and Lois and
was at home here in 1850. He will soon marry Jeanette Fish, one of the

not indexed correctly, but should be here and are in 1870.

40 VT, George A. 16 MA, Angeline 12 CT. Just an aside. There was a nice 1.7
mile sports car track here in the 1950s to mid 1970s. I got my SCCA Competition

Lucy 13 CT and Lydia S. (listed Sophia L. in 1850) 11 CT. Also he has a bunch

middle initial) and 1900, but with some stepchildren last name Phillips.
She is

She is
23 NJ and boarding. In 1860, there was a John Putnam (then age 40) from Ireland
living here in Stamford.
He is a
laborer 49 Ireland, his wife Mary is 48 Ireland. The kids are William 18 CT, Sarah
16 CT, Richard 13 CT, John 8 CT, Margaret 5 CT, Mary 3 CT and Jane 6/12 CT.
With this many kids no wonder there was a potato famine in Ireland. They
weren’t listed in the state in 1860, even though the kids seem to have been
born here.
He is
29 NY, Sarah E. Ives, his wife, is 25 CT and Charles 6/12 CT. Don’t find them
in 1880, but in 1900, he and Sarah are in Meriden, Connecticut, and Charles is
still at home. He is a son of David Putman and Nancy Dodds. Dutch family out of
West Charlton, Saratoga County NY. He was at home there in 1850.

September 17, 1872, and she will die there in 1881. Their son, Martin Truesdell
Putman, will be there in the 1900 census.
Abbott
is 9 OH, Israel 7 OH. They live with a John Cone or something like that. Abbott
will be here through the 1900 census. They are sons of Peter Radcliff Putnam
(3248) and Emily Mixer, and were born in Marietta, Ohio. Their dad died in
1863. Have no idea how or why they ended up back here in Connecticut. Then I
don’t see Israel again till 1910 when he is in Elmira New York with a wife and
a bunch of kids born here in Connecticut from the 1880s on.
She
is 19 MA, a domestic for John White.

would be Christina E. Putnam, daughter of Joseph Nealey Putnam and Sarah Ann
Thompson. She was at home in 1860 in Searsport, Maine.

that she is the daughter of Mervin Gideon Putnam (2979) of Saratoga Springs,

35 CT, Amelia Bosworth 29 CT, Charles 10 CT, Wallace 6 CT and George 4 CT. He

for Frances Hale who was married to Abbott Putnam. She was born in 1862 and he
in 1861, so this is him. She died August 19, 1888. So he returned to Ohio and

1870 and is now back home. He is widowed here in 1900.
Henry’s
daughter is also listed with her grandparents, Zara Blackman 74 CT and Mary
