CENSUS RETURNS

1820 - 1930

UPDATED JUNE 18, 2010

Georgia claimed a great portion of Mississippi in the late 1700s and many early settlers came from there. It became a Territory in 1798 and included most of what is now Alabama. In 1817, Mississippi became the 20th State, and Alabama was split off into a separate Territory. The first Federal Census was taken in 1820.

In the 1820 census males are broken down 0-9, 10-15, 16-18, 19-25, 26-44, 45 and older. Females are divided 0-9, 10-15, 16-25, 26-44, 45 and over.

In the 1830 and 1840 census both males and females are listed 0-4, 5-9, 10- 14, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, etc.

From 1850 on ages and states of birth are shown. In 1880 places of birth are listed for the person, their father and their mother. In the 1880 Soundex only families with children under 10 are listed. In the 1900 and later Soundex, all families are listed.

Elias is a son of Willis Putman and Elizabeth Fannin from Cleveland County, North Carolina. He is 25 NC living with Charles and Lucretia Morgan both from South Carolina.

LORENZO D. PUTMAN Chickasaw County

Lorenzo Dow Putman is Elias' brother and another of Willis' sons. He is 22 NC and living with Joseph and Selina Stevens.

ISAAC PUTMAN Choctaw County

He is 21 SC living with Seaborn and Mary PUTMAN Garrett from South Carolina. Mary is a Putman, a daughter of William Putman and Mary Mitchell from Laurens County, South Carolina. Her sister Francis PUTMAN married Osborn Garrett and is also living in the area. His full name is William Isaac Putman, and is probably a son of James Putman and Elizabeth Hughes from South Carolina. Others of that family will be here shortly. James and Mary were siblings.

MELISSA PUTMAN DeSoto County

She is 18 TN and living with William (42 NC) and Elizabeth (35 TN) Huddleston. According to the mortality schedule, it seems her brother was David G. Putnam born in Tennessee and died of Typhus. I don't know who he was. David had a brother, James W. Putman who was mayor of Hernando here in the 1840s. James died in 1843 at age 34, David October 20, 1849 at age 24. According to a descendant James was married to Eliza Patterson of Tennessee. See the listing in 1850 for Eliza in Marshall County, Tennessee.

John Murdock Putman 28 DC is another son of Charles Caleb Putnam. His wife Sophronia Fearn is 20 AL and living with them is his brother JAMES RUSSELL PUTNAM 24 TN. Another son of Charles, SAMUEL PUTNAM 18 TN lives nearby. Sam will be with his brother Bruce in Vicksburg, Madison County in 1860, but will also be married in Warren County as well.

WILLIAM PUTNAM Hinds County

He is 24 TN, but I do not have him listed as a son of Charles, so I am not certain who he is. If the age is 14 TN, then he would be Charles son, William Myatt. That William is with his folks, but might be visiting his kin over here in Hines County.

JOHN PUTMAN Marshall County

He is listed as a physician 38 from Virginia. He is widowed with 2 small children, Catherine 9 and Warren 7 both born in Mississippi. The Melissa Putman in next door DeSoto County may be his daughter as well. It appears the next two guys, Andrew and William may be his brothers. The states they were born in follows the pattern of the Putman family from Virginia that went to Guilford County, North Carolina and then into Jefferson County, Tennessee.

ANDREW PUTMAN Marshall County

He is 35 TN and a tailor. He lives with the next William who is possibly a brother.

WILLIAM PUTMAN Marshall County

William is 26 or 36 NC. He too is a tailor. If these are brothers, it is confusing.

J. E. PUTMAN Scott County

This is Jeremiah Putman 48 SC and his wife Elizabeth Smith 41 KY. The children, all born in Mississippi, were: Sarah Jane 19 MS, Miranda 16 MS, Cassa 15 MS, Martha A. 12 MS, William J. 10 MS, Andrew J. 8 MS, Albert B. 5 MS, Dudley N. 2 MS and Milton 1 MS.

Bruce will be in Vicksburg in 1860 with his brother Samuel who is in Hinds County now.

His dad is widowed or at least alone here in 1860. John will be in Prairie County, Arkansas in 1900 and back here by 1910.

JOSEPH PUTNAM Canton, Madison County

He is 24 ME and a teacher. He’ll be in Hancock County in 1880. He is Joseph Watson Putnam, a son of George Putnam and Clarissa Watson from Charlestown, New Hampshire. George went to Maine it looks like, but in 1880 Joe stated that New Hampshire was his home, which makes a lot more sense. His father George was a newspaper editor, and brought the family here. George died, but Joseph will be here a while and then off to California. He became an orator on behalf of Abolition. He traveled all over the South. This line goes back from Joseph to George (number 1113 in Eben Putnam’s books to Seth Putnam and Dolly Holden of Charlestown > Ebenezer > Seth > Thomas > Thomas > John Putnam the first to America.
