CHARLES PUTMAN Ponca, Dixon County
Charles
Franklin is listed as 34 VT, a farmer.
His wife, Isabel Lacy, is 23 IA. Their son, Isaac, is 8 months NE. Also in the household are four Carnell
male children: E. H. 12 IA, W.C. 11 IA, P. W. 9 IA, and O. H. 5 IA. An entry in
FTW states he was born in Cavendish, Vermont, but no reference to his folks. I
hit on a descendent who said his full name was Charles Franklin Putnam. Bingo.
In 1840 Franklin Putnam of Cavendish, Windsor County Vermont had a 5 year old
son. In 1850 he was gone from the state. The descendent stated Charles moved to
Massachusetts in 1845 and to Nebraska in 1854. Perfect. She also remembers the
name Ezra popping up which was his grandfather’s name. Look in the Vermont Section
to find out all about Ezra, and his sons including Franklin. This line goes
back Charles > Franklin > Ezra > Phineas > Stephen > Benjamin
> Nathaniel > John.

Rogers and was born in Chautauqua County New York. They were in Wabasha County
