Barrett Putman, and was in Ellisburg, Jefferson County, New York in 1850 and
1860. His wife Lavinia Truesdell died back in Jefferson County, New York in

NY, Lavina 22 MI, Lucy 19 MI, Mary 15 MI, Eliza 11 MI, and Eva 8 MI. There is a Maria Putman, 82 NY, in the
household also. Maria would be Simeon's mother Alida. It gets a bit confusing
when you also look at the upcoming listing for Maria here in Bowne. Look at
that listing too.
MARIA PUTMAN Bowne Township, Kent County
Sort
of a duplicate listing for the Hanna listed above. This is Hannah Maria, Simeon's
widow. She is 47 KY, Mary 16 MI, Eva 8 MI. There are more kids listed along
with these in the Hannah Putman listing. Also there again is Maria 82 NY who
was Simeon's mom (I believe).

Milan will be in Washtenaw County by the 1900.
LIBBIE PUTNAM Milan, Madison County
She
is 16 NY and still is living with Harriet Wilcox. She was here in 1860 listed
as Elizabeth 6 NY. Harriet is probably her mom, but have no clue as to
Harriet’s husband. John (above) didn’t have any other sons, so she is not
connected to that family. At any rate she will marry Woodruff W. Clark here on
March 12, 1873.
NATHAN PUTNAM Milan, Monroe County
He is
30 NY, Hannah Maria Bunce his wife 26 MI, Alfred 4 MI and Alice 2 MI. He lives

They will be in Fulton County Ohio in 1880 and then back here in Michigan in
Eaton County in 1900. Nancy’s death certificate in Wayne County in 1906 states
her dad was Melvin Stewart, so I am not sure what her name is. I would guess
she had previously been married to a Collins guy. She is older than Hank.

Abraham
is 48 NY NY NY, Mary Blazier his wife 44 NY NY NY, and William 14 MI. They have
been here since the 1860. I don’t find them in 1900. In 1910, their daughter
Eva is in Buchanan County Iowa and has her mom with her. Mary is then listed as
Mary Platt 74 NY NY NY, so Abraham died and Mary married a Pond guy and was
widowed a second time by 1910. The son William will be in Wisconsin by 1900 and
Minnesota by 1920. His death certificate when he died in Spokane Washington in

married name for her.

of John and Laurissa Putnam of Windham County, Vermont. He was home there up
till the 1870. But he is also listed back there and married to a Martha. And
will be there with her and Laurissa in 1900. So I am not exactly positive on
this guy here or the one back in Vermont. May be the same guy just out here on
business. Keep guessing.
She
is widowed, 43 NY NY PA and lives with Sidney Johnson. Have no proof as to her
husband, but her maiden name is Drake. She was born in 1835 and will die here
in Jackson County in 1895. Looks like she was married to George Putnam in

was a son of Peter and Amelia Putman. His folks were both born in NY but went
to Canada around 1852 to join his dad who was already there. So Peter may have
assumed his folks were from Canada as that’s where he grew up. If so, this is a
