We do know that Jokton Putnam from Charlton, Massachusetts was here back in the 1770s. There are just a few by 1790. The listings are males over 16, males under 16, and all females.
The listing is 4-1-7. The name is spelled Jockthan on the census. He’s been here a bit, see 1800. This town is just below the Massachusetts border in the northwestern corner of Rhode Island.
He has two listing in the same town, both are 1-1-1. Probably moving. This town is in the southern part of the State, down near the coast and not that far from Connecticut where John is probably from. He’s out-a-here before 1800.
In 1800 both males and females are broken into 0-9, 10- 15, 16-25, 26-44, 45 and over.
The listing is 00111 21111. He is number 528, a son of Elisha Putnam (202) and Lydia Chase of Grafton and Sutton, Massachusetts. Elisha died in Crown Point, New York in 1758 during the French and Indian war. Jokton was born in Sutton May 1, 1750. He moved a few miles across the border to this area of northwest Rhode Island. He married Anne Harris here April 7, 1770. He was the first Town Moderator of Burrillville, Rhode Island. The family will remain here until about 1809, and then will head to maple sugar country and settle in Billymead, Caledonia County, Vermont. He and his son Joseph will be there in 1810, but only Joseph in 1820. Rhode Island Vital Records spell him as Yacktan Putnam. Pronounces that way though J
Listing is 00010 00010. Current thinking is that he is number 989, a son of Fuller Putnam (391) and his first wife Mary Cummings of Sutton, Massachusetts. He was born there September 27, 1754, and married Elizabeth Harback. They moved to Maine in the late 1700s, and he operated a mill there which he sold ‘prior to 1806’ according to Eben. More than likely in the late 1790s and he came down here. They never had any children. He will be just over the line in Troy, Bristol County, Mass. in 1810.
In the 1810 census both males and females are listed as 0-9, 10- 15, 16-25, 26-44, 45 and over.
The listing is 00100-00000. Best idea here is that this is Jokton’s youngest son. Right now his dad and older brother Joseph are just outside St. Johnsbury in northeastern Vermont, and there are no other male kids with him. This William is number 1308, and was born in Glocester, Rhode Island February 26, 1874. That would make him 26 now. He’ll be here again in 1820 and in 1850. He was probably here in between, but just not indexed. There is a death record here f a Hannah Putnam wife of William dying February 18, 1809 at age 26.
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.
Nope, didn’t move, just a county border adjustment. The current listing is 200010-120100. He and his new wife Lucy are in their 30s now.
There are no Putnams listed, but obviously there were some here.
There are no Putnams listed. When you get to 1850, you will see that there had to be several Putnam families here in Rhode Island. But do keep in mind that the Taunton, Massachusetts area was originally a part of Rhode Island, and the area was in dispute. Some of these folks may have been there and in the Massachusetts reports. Also, we found a bunch of PITMAN families in Bristol and Newport Counties from 1810 on. Some were indexed as PUTMAN, but Matt Putnam tracked them all back and they were part of a large Pitman family all over southeast Rhode Island.
He is 34 CT, and has George E. 4 RI and Clara V. 2 RI. Then there are four other folks listed, and then there is Harriet Putnam 31 MA listed. She might be his wife, but it is hard to tell. At any rate he lists his occupation as “California Gold Digger.”
He is a scythe maker, 48 MA, Rebecca Church, his fourth wife, is 39 MA, Philander 16 MA and Cyrus 6 MA. There is also a Church family from Rhode Island living with them from Rebecca’s first marriage. He is number 2172, a son of Cyrus Putnam (921) and Lucinda Hathaway of Sutton, Mass. He was born there February 6, 1803. This family will be returning to Sutton shortly, but the son Philander will be back here in about 1858, and pretty much forever. There is another son who is missing here. He is Albro now age 6 CT. Albro is back in Sutton living with David’s brother Leander Putnam. Albro will be in Uxbridge, Mass. in 1860 and then in McLean County, Illinois in the 1870 and 1880 census. David himself will be there with Albro in 1880. This line goes David > Cyrus > David > Cornelius > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John.
He is a carpenter 26 MA, Matilda Leonard 16 CDN. They live in a rooming house. He is the same as the following guy. In 1860 Thomas J. Putnam who is back in Boston lists himself as a carpenter but is single at the time.
He is 25 MA, a mechanic, and is boarding. He has two listings in two separate boarding houses. In one he is married to a Mary 17 CAN. There is a record of him marrying Maria Matilda Leonard here October 14, 1849. This one is a son of Ephraim Putnam (1957) and Rachel Stoddard from Boston. He is back there with his widowed mother in the 1860 census.
Jokton’s son is still here at age 72 MA and is boarding.
Again, the state census folks just haven’t been doing their jobs very well. All these folks coming up here obviously have been here all their lives yet have never appeared in any reports before this one.
She is 17 MA and in a Seminary here.
She is 25 RI and a black servant.
She is 61 RI and in the Poor House. She’ll be here in 1870.
He is Albro Philander Putnam 27 CT (should be MA) and a blacksmith, Margaret 25 VT, Herbert 3 MA and Clara 1 RI. He was here in 1850 with his folks David and Rebecca Putnam. Then it looks as if they all went back to Sutton Massachusetts, and Philander just returned here about 2 years ago. He’ll be here forever after that.
He is 32 MA, Cordelia Brown 31 RI, Charles E. 6 RI, Adolphus 4 RI, Cordelia 2 RI and Albert 6/12 RI. He is a farmer. Pretty sure he is a son of David Putnam (2172) from Sutton. The above Philander would be his brother. They are here in 1870. The first three kids were born back in Worcester County, Mass. They are in the area in 1870, 1880 and he is widowed in 1900 and will die in 1909 in Cranston.
She is 27 (18?) RI and has Sidney G. 2 RI (born December 19, 1857) with her. They are boarding. There is a record of an Avery D. Putnam marrying Ellen L. Smith in Rhode Island September 28, 1854. Avery was single in Boston in 1850 and is off somewhere now. He and Ellen and Sidney are all in New York City in 1870. He will die there April 28, 1871 at age 44. In his 1908 book, Eben Putnam says “Who was Avery D. Putnam, assaulted 26 April 1871, by William Foster in New York? Putnam died on the 29th. Foster was hung 21 March 1873.” Interesting. Avery was a son of Ebenezer Putnam (1503) and Tryphena Bassett from Holden, Worcester County. In 1880 She and Sidney will be with her folks Scott and Ada Smith here in Providence.
He is 30 NY, Olivia J. Woodbury 26 NH, and they are boarding. He lists himself as a journeyman watchmaker. He is a son of Israel and Mary D. Putnam. Israel was a son of Archelaus Putnam from here in Windsor County. The family went into New York in the 1820s and that’s where George was born. He married Olivia Woodbury December 7, 1851 in Windsor County, Vermont. He was single there in 1850.
He is now listed as 40 ME (MA), and his wife Cordelia Brown as 38 VT (RI), Charles 16 MA, Adolphus 14 MA, Cordelia E. 12 ME (RI), Albert G. 10 ME (RI), Ella V. 8 RI, Sallie 5 RI, Minerva 3 RI and Sarah 1 RI. In 1860, all the kids to that point were listed as RI, Charles as MA, same in 1880, so this Maine stuff isn’t correct. He came here in the late 1850s and was here in 1860. The first couple of kids were born back in Worcester County, Mass. and the rest here in Providence County. Pretty sure he is a son of David Putnam (2172) from Sutton.
He is still a blacksmith, now 36 CT, Margaretta 34 VT, Herbert E. 13 MA and Clara E. 11 RI.
She is now 72 RI and still here in the poor house.
He is 24 CT, Mary Ann Blackman his wife is 18 MA. He is a woolen corder. He is a son of Austin and Mary Putnam of Sturbridge, Mass. He was in Putnam, Windham County, Conn. in 1860 and will be back there in 1880.
She is 16 CT and has Laura J. 2/12 RI. She is keeping house.
He is 38 RI, Sarah J. 36 RI, Susan S. 10 RI, James B. 6 RI. He lists himself as a retired grocer.
He is 57 NH, Mary 51 NH and they have George 14 NH. They live in a boarding house, and he works in a cotton mill. Finally, I know someone. Mark is a son of Gideon Putnam and Sarah Barnes. He was born in Nottingham, Rockingham County, New Hampshire on December 10, 1818. He married Mary Twiss in Milford, Rockingham County on December 10, 1839 (his birthday). In 1860 this family was in Mount Vernon, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. The family will be back in New Hampshire shortly.
This is now the full 1880 census, not just the Soundex portion.

He is a farmer 50 MA MA MA, Cordelia A. Brown his wife is 51 RI RI RI, Alvin L. 20 RI, Ella L. 18 RI, Lilly 16 RI and Sarah M. 12 RI. Cordelia will die here in 1897 and he will be widowed here living with his married daughter Cordelia in 1900. Pretty sure he is a son of David Putnam (2172) from Sutton. He has been here in Rhode Island since the 1850s.
Albro Philander Putnam is now a stone mason, now 45 CT CT CT, Margaretta 43 VT VT VT. Also here are their daughter, Clara E. 21 MA and her husband Herbert E. Pollock 23 RI RI RI. Heb will die here January 17, 1890. He is a son of David Putnam (2172) from Sutton.
