They were all there in the 1881 Canadian Census. The family must have come down in the later 1880s or 1890s as Elizabeth was widowed here in the State 1895 census. This is a Dutch line going back into New York State. John will die here in the next few years and Josephine is widowed here in 1930.

They were in Vernon County, Missouri before coming to Kansas in 1885. They have been in Fort Scott, Bourbon County up till now and are there again by 1930. No idea what they are doing here unless they are getting Gladys settled. Gladys by the way will be at home widowed in 1930. This is the Southern family that was just late comers as best I can figure. I can only get them back to Virginia in the 1700s a hundred years after my Thomas Putnam came there.

Jess is a son of William Boyd Putnam and Mary Elizabeth Smith. He was born September 20, 1883 and will die in Arkansas City September 5, 1969. I got this off a group sheet, but no info on the parents of William Boyd Putnam who was born in Iowa May 15, 1855. They are here in 1930.
He is 37 KS, his wife Edna 38 KS and they have Audrey L. 4 KS and Phyllis E. 1 KS. He is a son of William P. Putman and Amanda Louise Davis from Norton County.

He is a son of David Thomas Putnam and Sarah Margaret Hensley. He was born March 26, 1883 in Spencer, McCook County South Dakota, and has been here in Cowley County since the 1890s. Dutch family originally from New York. Now, a bit of confusion. I have been listing his wife as Beadie Fredericks and she always says she was born in Kansas. But I have found 6 family group sheets (all based on same one though it looks like) that say she is Beadie Smith Born June 22, 1883 in Boone County Indiana and died in Burbank, Los Angeles County California October 11, 1965. It also say Fred died there November 24, 1966. Her age jibes and the kids listed on the sheet are same as the ones here in the censuses. So I am not really certain what her name is, but she was born in Kansas and not in Indiana.
