SOUTH
DAKOTA
State
Census Returns
These
Censuses, like most other State Censuses, were taken in the middle of the gap
in Federal Censuses. They began in 1885 and 1895 and then 1915 and 1925. No
idea if one was done in 1905.
1885 SOUTH DAKOTA TERRITORIAL CENSUS
Not a
lot of information.
ARTHUR PUTNAM Edmunds County
He is
26 IL.
EDWIN PUTNAM Hand County
He is
43 MI, his wife Julietta Lawrence is 41 MI and they have
Eddie (Edwin) 16 MI, Richard 12 IL, Mary 6 IL, James 4 IL, William H. 4 IL,
Joseph 3 IL. Edwin is number 2632 a son of Jeremy Putnam (1174) from Vermont
and then Michigan. A Michigan County history states he was a son of Jerome
Putnam from New York State. That Jerome was married to Martha Skinner and was
in Batavia, New York. Jerome was part of the ‘other’ New England family out of
Hartford, Connecticut. But…. If you look up Jeremy Putnam (number 1174) in Eben’s book, you’ll see he went from VT to NY then to MI
where he died. No name for the wife, but he had kids named Edwin, Elizabeth,
Spencer and some other ones and they lived in Jackson County according to the
book. So… I think the Jerome mentioned in the history was really Jeremiah, the
kids Edwin (number 2632), Elizabeth (2627 or 2628) and Spencer (2630) are all
right here. The Sarah mentioned in the next listing should be their mother and
Jeremy’s widow. Jeremy’s line goes back through Samuel > Timothy etc and he
was a brother of Alpheus who was in Jackson County in 1840. Alpheus had a
couple of ‘spare’ kids then that were NOT his. Probably Jeremy’s. As no names
were used in 1840, the other kids and the mom, Sarah, were probably living with
other families.
JOSEPH PUTMAN Hanson County
He is
34 MI, his wife Mary Norton 33 NY, Miles 12 MI, Duey

County in 1880 and will be back there by 1915.
1895 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE CENSUS
Even
less.
J. B. PUTNAM Kimball, Brule County
Just
a listing and there is an M. M. Putnam as well.
1915 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE CENSUS
The
State Census is written on individual pages per person. Not everyone seems to
have gotten into the index. Some families only a kid is listed with no parents.
Kinda erratic. I’ll list as best I can, then fill in
details if I have them. The great news is that there is a line for the wife’s maiden name and
year they were married.
