her dad, John Moffat 60 also from County Antrim in Northern Ireland. She is the
ex-wife of John Putnam of Birmingham, Allegheny County. In 1870 she was listed

DEWITT

purpose, as his middle name is Clinton like the county (and like the famous New
York fella). He is a son of James Putman and Julia Mellon (I think the same
Mellon family that now owns most of Pittsburgh) from over in Tioga County. He

son is 53 NY NY NY, Nancy Philips his second wife is 44 PA, Minnie 12 PA,
Mertie 11 PA, Alta 7 PA and Clara 3 PA. Also there is Ransom's mother Sallie 73

Westfield, Chautauqua County, New York. He was born there September 12, 1849,

Bennington County, Vermont. This line goes back Burton > George > Jacob

> John.
Joanna
Russell is the widow of Joseph Putnam who died here in 1867. She is now 79 NY
and has her granddaughter Ella 15 PA with her. Ella may belong to her son

they had three children: Mary, Gustavus, and Emily. Now, in 1880, Emily and Gus

if he moved here in the early 1870s and started fresh. His brother Cyrus never
married.
He
is a telegraph operator, 23 PA and boarding. He looks like a son of George and
Rebecca. They were here in 1860, the whole county got overlooked in 1870, so

first wife was Maria Kooser. In the last ten years, it seems he has lost two

two possibles. John age 3 PA son of Charles and Christina Putnam both from
England, and an Elijah 4 PA son of John and Nancy Putnam, again both from
England (Nancy actually from Northern Ireland). If Arthur was a middle or even
first name, one of these might be him. If Arthur is his only name, we are in
trouble here as there were no Arthurs in the state in 1880.
