died January 25, 1899. He married ELIZA STONE January 14,
1836, daughter of ELI STONE and ELIZA WILLIAMS.
Notes for CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS PUTNAM, SR.:
In 1815 Bradstreet
Baldwin of Londonderry, Vermont, built a sawmill on the river at what is now
the village of Putnamville, taking advantage of the fall of thirty-two
feet. The mill had a capacity for
sawing 100,000 feet of lumber per annum.
Christopher Columbus
Putnam, Sr. bought the mill in 1845.
Nine years from that date he torn down the old mill and erected a large
double gang mill on the opposite side of the river, together with a gristmill
on and machinery for dressing lumber.
The mill was consumed by fire in 1862.
The same year a new mill was built on the same site with a capacity of
2,000,000 feet of dressed lumber per year.
"In 1865, after
his return from the war, his son Christopher C. Putnam, Jr., was taken into
partnership and the firm name changed to C.C. Putnam & Son. In 1871 the firm purchased the Templeton and
Vail mill in Worcester, in 1885, built a large steam Dressing mill at
Putnamville, and in 1890 a steam sawmill in Elmore, increasing their business
from 100,000 feet per year in 1845 to 6,000,000 feet in 1898.
"Mr. Putnam
possessed good common sense and the ability to carry out whatever he
undertook. Receiving only a common
school education, he labored all his life to extend his field of learning, and
by reading and close application acquired a large fund of general
information. Although never an
office-seeker, yet he held nearly all the offices which his town could give
him. In early life he was an old-time
Whig, an admirer of Clay, Webster, Sumner, and Lincoln, voting for General
Harrison in 1840 and for his grandson in 1888.
"A sturdy,
genuine old Vermonter, who loved his family, respected the rights of those in
his employ, and called every man his friend."
-Vermont paper.
He has held various
local offices, and in 1864 was representative.

1838 in Windsor, Canada. He married ELEANOR DYGERT February
25, 1816, daughter of SYLVANUS DYGERT.
Notes for WILLIAM PUTNAM:
William Putnam and his
brothers, Joshua and Thomas, were associated together in business in early
life. They had inherited property from
their father, and by well applied efforts had increased their stake in the
country. At the time of the
"Rebellion" the Putnams were well-to-do farmers and lumbermen. The year 1837 had seen the virtual crushing
out of the rebellion in Lower Canada, and it was during the period following
the successes of the government party in which happened the incidents which led
to the first arrest of William Putnam.
The second rebellion is said to have broken out on the third of
November, 1838. On the ninth occured
the battle of Odeltown, and on the following day the "Patriots" were
successful at Beauharnois, and at the same time the windmill at Prescott was
forified by a band of "Patriots."
This post was held till the arrival of regulars with artillery. At Prescott the loss of the British troops
was 13 killed, 67 wounded. The
"Patriots" lost about 40 killed, and 110 surrendered. William Putnam was not engaged in any of
these encounters. Dr. W.E. Putnam of
Bennington, a nephew of William Putnam, states that his father, Thomas Putnam,
had told him that William Putnam was convinced of the futility of the proposed
attack on Windsor, and strongly urged delay until the temper of the inhabitants
was better known. His prudent cousel
was overrulled and, as he never lacked courage, he led the party as had been
arranged. The narrative which now
follows is very nearly as written. The
manuscript was hurriedly written, and evidently had not been revised, and
therefore it has been found necessary to change in a slight degree the wording
of the story.
THE NARRATIVE OF
WARNER HERKIMER PUTNAM
"My father was
only four years old when he landed in the forest, and grew up with the freedom
of the deer. He had but six weeks
schooling in his boyhood. He was a man
of great strength and of an iron will.
His temperament was cheerful and lively, and , withal, he was possessed
of good business ability. He was
associated with his brothers in business. As each of the younger boys married
their share was set off to them. Throughout the country they were known as the
Putnam Brothers, and acquired considerable property in the shape of land,
mills, and public houses. When the war
of 1812 broke out William and Joshua were drafted into the Canadian service and
served at the battles of Lundy's Lane and Queenstown Heights. For gallant services, William was
commissioned a captain of militia of the city of London, and held that position
for many years, until the growth of party feeling led him to resign in
1836. The native and American born
inhabitants were antagonistic to those settlers who were new comers from Great
Britian. The jealousy felt by each
party for the other was intensified by the action of government in creating
land monopolies and exempting large grants from taxation. The Clergy-Reserve was especially distasteful
to many, for although set aside for the benefit of the Protestant religion it
was beneficiaal only to the English Church.
Local and profitable positions were given to friends of the party in
power without regard for local prejudices.
In 1836 the speaker* of the House of Parliament visited England to lay
the grievances of the people before the home government, but although he
remained there a year he was not accorded a hearing. On his return the native party felt that but two alternatives
were left to them, to submit to the oppression which bore so hardly upon their
temper or to appeal to arms. Without considering the consequences of such an
act, the latter alternative was adopted.
William Putnam had resigned his commission in 1836; he was not willing
to oppose his party friends, and foresaw that trouble was coming. During the short struggle which followed he
remained quietly at home. His friends
in arms were defeated and scattered.
The officers of the victorious faction were mainly old friends and
acquaintance of my father, and invited him to join with them in a jollification
at the hotel in Delaware, where he was then living. Not wishing to make enemies, he joined the party, all of whom
knew his principles. During the
evening, as usual on such occasions, heavy drinking was indulged in. Toasts were offered. That to the Queen and royal family were
participated in by all present. Then
the health of the Governor-General was proposed, and Mr. Putnam hesitated and
finally set his glass down untouched.
His exception was noticed by a rude and burly Englishman, a captain, the
very one who had succeeded Putnam in command of his former company, who
demanded that he drink the toast, and used insulting language as well as
denouncing him as a traitor. Mr. Putnam
gave his reason in a few words. He then
took exceptions at the officer's remarks, and slapped his face, at the same
time challenging him to apologize or fight, or be denounced as a coward. Friends attempted to interpose, but Putnam
insisted that he was a loyal citizen of Canada, and would have an apology. He then returned to his home, put his weapon
in order and again visited the tavern, and in this calmer mood repeated the
challenge, which he left open to any gentleman who dared question his loyalty
to the crown.
"On the evening
of the 25th of Dec,. 1837, our house was surrounded by a troop of cavalry, the
officer in command remarking, `We shall have trouble here.' The door being open, father walked out saying
`You will have no trouble here; what are your demands?' The officer requested him to walk over to
the hotel, which he did, and was there placed under arrest, bound hands and
feet, and placed in the botton of a lumber wagon without straw or blankets. They immediately started for London. It was a cold, wet night, and although the
guards twice stopped for refreshments and warmth, the prisoner, tightly bound,
was left to withstand the effects of the weather unsheltered. His request to loosen his bonds, which were
so tightly bound as to cause great suffering, was met with a prick of the
bayonet and surly order to lie still.
The party arrived in London on the 26th Dec., at four o'clock in the
morning, and the prisoner was placed in jail.
There he was kept for five months.
Bribery was freely employed to procure evidence to sustain the charge of
high treason against him, but failed, and in June, without a trail, he was set
free. In the meantime, in January, the family moved from the house in Delaware,
back to the farm, but on the 4th of February the buildings were totally
destroyed by fire, the work of an incendiary.
The family barely escaped with their lives, and were left destitute and
obliged to seek refuge with friends.
"A week after
father's release, while we were in hopes that further persecution would be
abandoned, father received a letter from Col. Burwell, commanding the western
forces, and an old friend, conveying the information that he was about to be
rearrested and counselling him to fly.
"The family was
called together, the letter read, and father said he thought the advice
good. He should leave us for awhile
and, in company with his brother Thomas, seek safety in the United Sates. Their course was by boat, by way of a branch
of the Thames, thence by the Thames to Lake St. Clair, and along its shore to
the head of the Detroit River, and so across the channel to the American
side. The Thames ran through London,
Kilworth, Delaware, where he had been arrested, Wardsville and Chatham. For years he had floated lumber down those
streams, and was well known throughout the territory, especially by the
settlers along the banks. On the
morning of the departure, it was Sunday, as the boat was passing under the
bridge, uncle and father in it, people going to church halted on the
bridge. Many were old friends, some
differed in political opinions. Father
stood up in the boat and said to them: `I am forced to leave my home, my
family, and my country, or submit to arrest again, which I would not suffer.' He would never be taken alive. He bade them a fareweel, and floated down
the river out of sight. He safely
arrived in Detroit. At Detroit he found
many acquaintances, among them one Captain Cary, who still held his commission
in the Canadian militia. Cary was an Englishman. Learning from father that he had left his family unsettled, and
of his desire to return home in order to settle them, Cary offered, if father
would visit his place at the forks of Bear River, about seventy miles from
Detroit and sixty from London, he would drive him to his house and stay with
him for a time, and said that he would protect him from disturbance. Father, with Uncle Thomas** and two others,
kept the rendezvous. The house stood
some way from the road, and father said he would go and see if all was
clear. While stopping at the well to
take a drink, Cary came out and shook hands with him. Then taking father's gun, said, `Let me have your gun.'
"Cary took hold
of the gun and drew it toward him.
Father said `Cary, let go of my gun." At that Cary placed his hands on him and said, `You are my
prisoner, in the King's name.' Father
stood facing the house. He saw the door
open and armed soldiers come out. He
realized that he was betrayed. Drawing
his pistol, he shot Cary and made for the fence, which he jumped under fire of
the soldiers. The country was aroused,
and $1000 reward offered for the body of William Putnam, dead or live.
"During the night
father came upon an Idian camp. He was
well known to the Indians, and spoke their language, and to them he told his
story. Knowing how impossible it would be to cross the lines, the Indians
conducted him to a hidingplace, where they faithfully protected and fed him for
thirty days. He was then taken to the
Banks of the Huron River, the door of an old barn wrenched off and he was soon
afloat. He safely effected the crossing
[of one mile] and was again safe on American soil, near the town of
Palmer. He soon went on to
Detroit. He knew that he was a ruined
man, and could not hope for pardon or toleration from the government. Cary lived three days, during which time he
confessed that he had been promised promotion if he could arrest Putnam and his
friends with arms in their hands, which indeed he very nearly accomplished by
his treacherous act.
"After the second
arrival at Detroit, father entered heartily into the plans of the `patriots,'
as they were termed. A secret camp was
arranged at Creet, west of Detroit, for the purpose of raising a force to cross
the river and gave battle, for it was thought if a stand could be made, they
would soon gain strength. Four hundred
men were enrolled and equiped. Putnam
was made commander. A steamboat was
chartered to cross the river, and on the fourth of December, in the evening,
they crossed and landed at the town of Windsor, opposite Detroit. As the steamer returned to the American
shore again there was no hope but to fight to the last. At Windsor the steamer Thames was burned at
the wharf, the militia routed, the barracks burned. Spies were in the party, and before the party crossed the river
word had been carried to the British troops at Post Malden, who were but illy
disciplined compared with regular troops.
They stood their ground for a time, but the struggle was short and
destructive. Many dead were left on the
field on both sides. My father was shot
through the brain.*** My two brothers
were with him, but escaped, the youngest recrossed the river on an ice cake
amid flying bullets, the other escaped to the woods. The wounded were bayoneted. The prisoners were placed on a fence
and shot. Many of the dead were buried
on the field, but my father's remains were allowed to be taken up and placed in
a coffin and buried in a friend's garden.
Thus ended the career of my father, in the prime of life, driven to
desperation through the fear and jealousy of those in power. His was a noble life, sacrificed to tyranny
and oppression. He was one of the
noblest of men, and an affectionate husband, a kind and indulgent father,
honorable and generous to a fault."
Here ends the
manuscript narrative.
Dr. Putnam writes:
"The rebels presented my uncle with a handsome sword on that night (the
night before the attack on Windsor), which weapon was found tightly clenched in
his hand when his dead body was found after the battle. Col. Prince (so notorious) obtained the
sword, and kept it as a souvenir, notwithstanding the effort my father made to
obtain it after the battle was over."
This Col. Prince was
the British commander, and he it was who ordered the prisoners to be shot, as
he himself reports in his dispatch to his superiors. The number killed was twenty-one, "besides four brought in
just at the close, and immediately after the engagement, all of whom I ordered
to be shot on the spot, which was done accordingly." (Report of Colonel
Prince.)****
Lord Durham on hearing
of this arrocity exclaimed in the House of Lords, "he had no hesitation in
stating that Col. Prince was a murderer, and a disgrace to the name of a
British officer." Prince was
cashiered and dismissed the service.
Lord Durham, afterward became Governor- general of Canada, and was
entertained by Thomas Putnam at his home.
* Mr. Putnam names him as Dr. Charles
Duncombe, which seems to be an error.
However, Duncombe was one of the prominent "rebels." He owed his life to Thomas Putnam, for on
one occasion he was closely pursued, and after several says' wandering, during
which fed on berries and roots, he reached the house of Thomas Putnam, who
concealed him, and that night carried him to the home of Colonel Douglas, who
kepted him concealed for several months till he could get him across the
border, which Duncombe accomplished disguised in woman's apparel. Soldiers visited the Douglas house several
times while Duncombe was concealed there.
** Dr. Putnam informs Eben Putnam that Thomas
Putnam was not with his brother on this occasion, as he had returned home
immediatley his brother was safe on American territory.
*** The following account of Putnam's death was
given by Major McGuise, who stood by Putnam's side at the time: "After ordering his party to retreat,
he turned and faced the british, shook his sword in their faces, uttering a
curse of disappointment and rage. A
British soldier stepped forward and deliberately shot him through the
forehead."
**** Of the prisoners
taken in Upper Canada, one hundred and eighty were tried by court-martial in
the spring of 1889, and condemned to be hanged, all but twenty-four were
recommended to merciful consideration of the Government. A number were pardoned, ten were hanged, but
most were transported to Van Diemen's land, where numbers died.

Notes for THOMAS PUTNAM:
The early life of
Thomas Putnam was uneventful. He soon
showed evidence of a strong individuality, which developed later later into a
vigorous and sturdy manhood. He located
at Dorchester, Upper Canada, in the year 1825 and laid the foundation of an
entensive mercantile and lumbering business which proved very successful, Mr.
Putnam becoming one of the most prominent private citizens in western Ontario,
then Canada West. He and his brothers,
Joshua and Williams, were associated together in business in early life. They had inherited property from their
father, and by well applied efforts had increased their stake in the
country. At the time of the
"Rebellion" the Putnams were well-to-do farmers and lumbermen. As each of the younger boys married their
share was set off to them. Throughout
the country they were known as the Putnam Brothers, and acquired considerable
property in the shape of land, mills, and public houses.
About the year 1839,
the name of Dorchester was changed to Putnam in honor of the subject of this
sketch. During the troublous time
incident to the Canadian rebellion of 1837-38, Mr. Putnam sympathized with the
supporters of responsible government and thus became an object of suspicion to
the Tory party then in power, so much so in fact that he was obliged to remain
in concealment many weeks to save himself from imprisonment, and possibly a
worse fate. He had previously, in
anticipation of trouble, constructed a secret chamber in his house, entered
only by a concealed sliding panel. Here
he lay six weeks, during which time British Soldiers searched the house. This chamber is still to be seen in the old
mansion house. He greatly aided the
rebel cause with both money and influence.
His brother, William Putnam, was one of the leaders of the rebel forces
in Upper Canada, and commanded rebels at the battle of Winsdor, where he fell
at the head of his men.
Mr. Putnam was
appointed a magistrate by the Governor in 1838, an office he retained to the
time of his death, March 26, 1880. This
office is a life appointment in Canada.
He refused other public offices, which were frequently tendered
him. Mr. Putnam met with business
reverses late in life, which left him only a very moderate competence after
honorably satisfying the demands of every creditor in full, although not
compelled to do so by law at the time, his losses having been due to the
dishonesty of a partner whom he trusted.
