This is the first census that lists the folks by name, age, and the state they were born in. Not always that easy to identify them, but now we know the characters. This listing will be by county. Once again, if possible, I will give the number that Eben Putnam assigned. This census was pretty much put together by Rand Putnam of California, who sorted it out and assigned the numbers where possible. Many thanks, Rand.
He is 45 MA, Sally 50 MA and Joel 48 MA. They are boarding with an O. S. Winfield 49 MA. These three are unwed children of Joel and Sally Putnam who were here from the early 1800.

William B. was the son of John Putnam and Hannah Dillings from Hartford Connecticut. This is part of the ‘Other’ family from Yorkshire England that came to Connecticut in the late 1700s.

He was born there in 1811. Jonas Senior was a son of Jonathan Putnam and Lucy Lane of Bedford and then Rindge, New Hampshire. Jonathan, we feel, was a son of Israel Putnam and Sarah Hutchinson of Bedford. This line has been VERY tricky to track back past Jonathan.

ALLEN PUTNAM Charlestown, Middlesex County
He is indexed as Aaron 40 NC a cabinet maker, Margaret 38 NC. They will be here in 1860, but he will be listed as Allen 50 NH, and she as Martha 48 NH. Know that guy. So this listing should read Allen 40 NH, Martha (Foss) 38 NH. Allen is a son of Gideon Putnam (1877) and Sarah Barnes of Alstead, Cheshire County, NH. He was born there August 3, 1809. He married Martha Foss in Reading August 2, 1835 and were there in the 1840 census.

He was here in 1830 as well as 1840, so I have no idea where he was in New Hampshire in the 1830s. The son William will be in Hillsborough County NH in the 1880 census. Charles will be in Minnesota in the 1860.
CYNTHIA L. PUTNAM Groton, Middlesex County

Also there is a Warren F. Putnam (?) 78 MA. What I think is this is just sloppy recording. The son Alfred is 7 and Warren 3 and the Lucy is Lucy Harris 27 MA. These ages would tie in perfectly in 1860. Anyway, Perry had married Clarissa Maria Brocklebank on November 25, 1841 in Ipswich. She died here in Lowell May 21, 1849. He then married Lucy Harris, and will be here with her in 1860 through 1880. Lucy had married Joseph Bean in Andover in 1844, and Warren born in 1846 was their child. He changed his name to Putnam.
