VERMONT

CENSUS REPORTS

1790  -  1840

 

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 26, 2008

 

VERMONT 1790 CENSUS

 

In this census and for a while, I will not be listing these folks alphabetically, but will list them by County so it may be easier to determine family groupings as I try and sort these kinfolk out. Several families are indexed as Putman, but they are all Putnams out of Massachusetts, so I am listing them all as Putnam. When I can, I will identify these guys and use the numbering system Eben Putnam used in his books on the Putnam Family.

 

In the 1790 census, the columns in the report are for males over 16, males under 16 and females of all ages.

 

FREDERICK PUTNAM  Shaftsbury, Bennington County

The listing is 1-0-1. In 1800, he will be in Oneida County, New York with three children. According to the New York census in 1800, he will be living by Charles Putnam who is his father. That Charles is number 385 and his son Frederick is number 982.  He will marry Mary King and head west shortly. The line is Frederick > Charles > Eleazer > Eleazer > John > John. Frederick was born in Preston, Connecticut on August 20, 1763. His father Charles was born in Preston October 13, 1737 and died in Paris, New York in the 1830s. Charles married Martha Rose of Norwich, Connecticut May 27, 1762 and they all moved to Paris, Oneida County in New York.

 

EBENEZER PUTNAM  Middlesex, Chittenden County

The listing is 1-3-5. He is number 443. He was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire January 25, 1751/52, and will die in Middlesex in 1824. He married Hannah Russell back in New Hampshire. His parents were Ebenezer Putnam (number 184) of Billerica, Mass and Mary Parker. This senior Ebenezer was one of the first settlers in Charlestown, New Hampshire, arriving there in 1745. The line goes back from Ebenezer > Seth > Thomas > Thomas > John.

 

JACOB PUTNAM  Middlesex, Chittenden County

The listing is 1-0-0. He is number 451, and a son of Ebenezer and Mary Putnam. He was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire March 18, 1771. He will be marrying Mary ‘Polly’ Worth in about 1800-1801.

 

LEVI PUTNAM  Middlesex, Chittenden County

The listing is 1-2-1. He is number 445 and another one of the sons of Eben and Mary. He was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire February 11, 1757. He married Rebecca Holden in Charlestown on March 29, 1784. He was in the Battle at Ticonderoga in the Revolution.

 

SETH PUTNAM  Middlesex, Chittenden County

The listing is 1-2-4. He is number 444 and, of course, one of Ebenezer and Mary’s kids. He was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire on August 9, 1754. He married Dolly Holden in Charlestown. He too fought at Ticonderoga, and later with General Gates. He was the third settler in what is now Washington County. He came in the 1780s and will stay here.

 

ASA PUTNAM  Newbury, Orange County

The listing is 1-0-0. He is number 897 and a son of Tarrant and Mary Putnam. He is single now, but will be marrying Mary ‘Polly’ Fowler here in 1792. They will later move out to Brookfield, New York. Asa was born in Danvers, Massachusetts on December 28, 1763. He married Polly in Corinth, Orange County on January 2, 1792. Now, don’t get all excited on dates like this. They were probably married earlier, just that they got around to filing papers after the Court House re-opened after New Years Day. Asa’s line goes back Asa > Tarrant > Israel > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John. They will have two kids, Polly and Prudence, here in Vermont and then will have the rest over in New York.

 

EBENEZER PUTNAM  Montpelier, Orange County

The listing is 1-2-4. He may be Ebenezer Putnam 3rd, number 1095, a son of Ebenezer Putnam and Hannah Russell from Middlesex, Chittenden County, Vermont. The two towns are only about 5 miles apart. In 1800, they are both in Middlesex, Chittenden County. His father is number 443. For the line, see the listing for Ebenezer 2nd in Middlesex, Chittenden County, Vermont. This younger Eben married Abigail Lewis. Now I may be wrong and this is simply a dual listing for Eben 2nd as there seem to be just too many folks in this listing for Eben 3rd. In 1800, both do indeed appear in the same town.

 

ISRAEL PUTNAM  Newbury, Orange County

The listing is 1-0-1. He is number 896 and another of Tarrant’s sons. The listing should have one more female as he had two kids at this time. Anyway, Israel was born in Danvers on November 22, 1760. He married Susanna Heath in Corinth, Vermont in April 1788. His line goes back Israel > Tarrant > Israel > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John. He is Asa’s brother.

John’s folks were Ephraim Putnam, number 287, and Sarah Cram originally from Salem Village and then in Lyndeborough in the early 1740s. The line goes back from Ephraim> Nathaniel > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John.

She died in the 1770s, and about 1785 he married a cousin of hers, Eunice Porter of Wenham, Mass. He served in the Revolution, and afterwards moved briefly to Bakerstown, Maine and then about 1789 he moved his family here to Newbury. Tarrant’s parents were Israel Putnam (number 126) and Sarah Bacon of Salem Village and Bedford, Mass. The line goes back from Israel > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John.

 

ADONIJAH PUTNAM  Guilford, Windham County

The listing is 3-4-3. He is number 540 in Eben Putnam’s books. He was born in Sutton, Massachusetts October 6, 1744 and moved to Vermont before the Revolution. He married Mary Wilkins November 27, 1766, but I don’t know if it was in Massachusetts or Vermont. Adonijah’s folks were Jonathan Putnam (number 205) and Anne Chase of Sutton. The line goes back from Jonathan > Elisha > Edward >Thomas > John. The children under 16 are Lucy, Anna, Israel and Jared. The sons over 16 are Lemuel, Elihu, and Asa. Adonijah will die here in late 1791 or early 1792.

He married Anna Collins in Brimfield, Mass. on July 24, 1766, and they moved to Brattleboro. After his death, Anna will marry Benjamin Simonds of Massachusetts in about 1800. The children listed here are Perley, Lewis, and Ebenezer over 16, and Josiah, Alfred, Sewell and Sylvia under 16. Asa’s folks are Josiah Putnam (number 260) and Lydia Wheeler of Warren.

They will then move to Buffalo, New York and remain there until the mid 1820s. Rachel died there, and Jesse and his sons Daniel and Edson, moved a little south into Warren County, Pennsylvania. Jesse will die there on November 19, 1837. Jesse’s folks were Ephraim Putnam (number 287) and Sarah Cram. Ephraim was born in Salem and moved to Lyndeborough, New Hampshire where he married Sarah.

UZZIEL PUTNAM  Wardsborough South, Windham County

The listing is 1-2-3. He is number 753. Eben didn’t have a clear line going here. I have picked up the line through research of a descendant. Uzziel was christened November 8, 1761 in New Salem, Mass. He married Mary Trask in New Salem March 12, 1782. Shortly after the marriage they moved north to Wardsborough, Vermont. In 1796 they headed out to Oneida County, New York and then to Adams, Jefferson County, New York in 1807. In 1811 he and others built a boat and sailed down the lakes to Detroit. They then settled in Huron County, Ohio. In 1813 during the War, the Indians under British control captured Mary and a son Orlean and they were taken to Detroit for ransom, and returned later that summer. In 1816, the family moved to Sandusky, Ohio where he died in the winter of 1822 in a sleigh accident. The kids at this point said to heck with Ohio and some returned to New York and a couple others went to Michigan. Now, since Uzziel wasn’t married until 4 years before this census, it looks like another family is living with him, but I have no idea as to who they may be. The line goes back from Uzziel > Uzziel > Amos > John > Nathaniel > John.

 

EBENEZER PUTNAM  Bethel, Windsor County

This listing is 3-2-3. He is number 474. He was born in Sutton, Mass September 7, 1738 and died here in Bethel May 4, 1808. He married Hannah Dike in Sutton on January 16, 1766.

Eben had nothing on him. The family went to Charlestown, New Hampshire, and are there now. Thomas is married to Mary Young. They will be here in 1800, and then be in Charlestown, New Hampshire themselves by 1810.

The listing is 00011  0010. He may well be the son of Thomas Putnam and Susannah Stone. He would be the younger guy and they don’t have kids. The folks were in Bethel, Vermont in 1790 and in 1800.

 

JOKTON PUTNAM  Billymead, Caledonia County

He moved to Glocester, Rhode Island, which is not far over the border from Sutton. He married Ann Harris of Harrisville, Rhode Island on April 7, 1770. His son Joseph is listed next and his daughters Sarah, Molly and Lydia are here with him. His youngest son, William is back in Glocester. And yes, this is the way they spell the town’s name in Rhode Island. He will not be around in 1820.

The son you see listed here is Jenckes Mathewson Putnam born in Glocester December 14, 1809. See Jokton for this line. Joseph will be here in 1820, 1830 and 1840. I don’t blame him, the skiing is better here than in Rhode Island.

ANDREW PUTNAM  St. Johnsbury, Caledonia County

Listing is 00001  00001. He is number 525, a son of Elisha Putnam and Lydia Chase of Grafton and Sutton, Mass. His brother Jokton lives a few miles away in Billymead, Caledonia County. Andrew was born in Sutton May 6, 1742. He married Lucy Parks of Sutton on January 10, 1764. They moved to Winchester briefly and then out to Greenfield, Mass. And now are up here in the heart of Maple Syrup Country. Whenever I go skiing at Burke Mountain, I go through St. Johnsbury and you can smell the syrup factories from miles away. His son Stephen lives nearby and his son Peter lives a few miles north in Burke, Vermont. This line is Andrew > Elisha > Elisha > Edward > Thomas > John.

 

STEPHEN PUTNAM  St. Johnsbury, Caledonia County

Listing is 00110  50010.  He is number 1287 and another of Andrew’s sons. He was born in Greenfield, Mass. April 8, 1778 and died here in St. Johnsbury September 2, 1867.

He married Jane Karr Hall of Ackworth, NH on March 8, 1807 in Charlestown, New Hampshire.

He was in Concord from 1807 through early 1815, return to Charlestown, New Hampshire till 1817 when he will head out to the southern tier of New York and settle in Broome County. He will remain there until he dies in January 1858. This line goes back Seth > Thomas 452d > Thomas 189 > Seth 49 > Thomas > Thomas > John Putnam.

 

ABEL PUTNAM  Guildhall, Essex County

Listing is 21010  20010. Guildhall is up north in the middle of nowhere along the Connecticut River and the New Hampshire border. He is number 457, a son of Thomas Putnam (189) and Rachel Wetherbee originally of Lunenburg, Massachusetts and now of Charlestown, New Hampshire. Abel was born in Charlestown on June 29, 1766. He married Polly Whipple. In 1800, he was in Charlestown, NH and was listed 11010-00100. In 1820, there is a George Putnam here in Guildhall who seems to be the same guy based of the ages of the children now and then, however in 1820 there are 2 males over 26 in the household. But Abel is not listed in 1820 either in Vermont or New Hampshire.  The George might be the brother of Seth Putnam also here in Essex County. Good Luck!

 

JONATHAN PUTNAM  Guildhall (Maidstone), Essex County

Listing is 32010  10110. He is in the Index as Putnam, but is really a Patterson when you look at the handwriting.

 

ISAAC PUTNAM  Sheldon, Franklin County

Listing is blank and then 6 people listed in the ‘all others’ category. This is a black family.  He is in Burlington, Caledonia County in 1820.

 

JACOB PUTNAM  Sheldon, Franklin County

He is listed in the Index, but not on the page he is supposed to be on (same as the above Isaac who would be his father). This is another black family. Jacob married Rosanna Crome Marte on May 25, 1801. They were married in Brattleboro, but he was listed on the certificate as being from Sheldon. He is with his folks in 1820 in Burlington. In 1825, he is in the State Census of Greenwich, Washington County, New York and was listed as a family of 5 people ‘of color’ and 3 others.

Listing is 00101  02021. This is Tarrant Junior, number 903. He married Ruth Chadwick here in 1805. His dad died in 1804. The other older gal and probably the other male would be siblings I would guess. The oldest female is his mother Eunice Porter Putnam. He will die here in about 1815-1816. His widow, Ruth, will remarry too Benjamin Brock in about 1817.

 

REUBEN PUTNAM  Thetford, Orange County

Listing is 32201  00201. This should be Cornelius Putnam and Elizabeth Perkins’ son. He has been right across the River in Lebanon and Hanover, New Hampshire in 1790 and 1800. He is married to Mahuldah Cummings. She will die here July 10, 1816, and Reuben will be off to Ontario County and then Genesee County, New York and be there in the 1820. His son Joseph will be here in 1820 and on. There is also a record of a Reuben Putnam marrying Polly Downer here in Thetford July 27, 1818. This would be his son Reuben Junior.

 

ELEAZER PUTNAM  Topsham, Orange County

Listing is 01001  00201. Tarrant’s son Eleazer Porter has been here a bunch of years.

 

ISRAEL PUTNAM  Topsham, Orange County

JONATHAN PUTNAM  Duncansboro,  Orleans County

Listing is 00100  00100. Move this far north, might as well go a couple more miles into Canada. I have no ideas. Maybe Jonathan the 3rd out of Windsor County?

 

EBNER (EBENEZER) PUTNAM  Brattleboro, Windham County

Listing is 10110  10010. He is number 1724, a son of Asa Putnam and Anna Collins. He was born September 4, 1779. He’ll be here through the 1840 census. He has married Hannah Fox here on December 29, 1803. The rest of the family has headed off to New York State.

ELISHA PUTNAM  Whittingham, Windham County

Listing is 00100  00100. He is number1314, a son of William Putnam (530) and Submit Fiske of Upton and then Buckland, Massachusetts. He was born May 18, 1786. He will serve in the Vermont Assembly and was a farmer. According to the 1850 census, his wife’s name is Triphena, but I have no idea as to her last name. This line goes back Elisha > William > Elisha > Elisha > Edward > Thomas > John Putnam.

 

LEVI PUTNAM  Whittingham, Windham County

Listing is 21101  32101. His wife is Hannah Allen. He is number 598, a son of Phineas and Lois Putnam of Sutton, Massachusetts. Lois is a Putnam by birth as well. Both Phineas and Lois were born in Salem Village, Mass. Levi was born in Sutton, Massachusetts about 1747. This line goes back Levi > Phineas > Isaac > Edward > Thomas > John.

He was born in Charlestown on July 13, 1781 and died February 13, 1834. He married Elizabeth Dickey Hall in August 1801 while in Charlestown.

BAILEY PUTNAM  Springfield, Windsor County

Listing is 21010  01110. He is number 470. He was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire on May 13, 1770 and he will die in September 1827. He married Anna Bailey March 5, 1795, and after her death married Jerusha Spencer also of Charleston. He will be in Weathersfield, Windsor County in 1820. Since both of his marriages were in New Hampshire, I assume he is currently married to Jerusha. The sons are Hiram born March 27, 1798, Guy June 11, 1800 and Joseph born in 1803. Bailey’s folks were Timothy Putnam (number 191) and Susanna Badger of Billerica, Mass. The line goes back from Timothy > Seth > Thomas > Thomas > John.

 

DAVID PUTNAM  Springfield, Windsor County

Listing is 30010  30010. He is number 471. He is the above Bailey’s brother, and one of Timothy’s sons. He was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire on June 7, 1772. He married Hannah Bailey March 8, 1802 in Charleston.

Listing is 31001  22110. He is number 467, another son of Timothy Putnam and Susanna Badger of Billerica, Mass. and Charlestown, New Hampshire. John was born in Charlestown on June 4, 1764, and will die in Montpelier, Vermont June 9, 1848. He married Catherine Case in Charlestown. She died a few years ago, and John has just married Peggy Glidden, widow of Moses Willard. John and Peggy were married in March of this year, 1810. They will move to Montpelier, Washington County, Vermont in about 1818 and be there for the 1820 census.

 

JONATHAN PUTNAM  West Windsor, Windsor County

Listing is 10011  00101. Jon and Lucy are still here. The eldest son here is Timothy, who will get the farm in 1826 when Jonathan dies (Lucy will die in 1825). There is a mistake in the male category. Joel would be 18 now and is still at home. There were no younger sons that I am aware of, so the ‘hash-mark’ is simply in the wrong column. The other female is Timothy’s wife Patty Gould.

 

THOMAS PUTNAM  Windsor, Windsor County

Listing is 11010  21010. This Thomas is only a distant cousin of all the Salem Mass. folks. He was born in ‘the north of England’. In the mid 1780s he and his older brother John came to America. One version has it that they were pressed into service in the Royal Navy, and jumped ship in America. This was well after the Revolution, so we were once again freely trading with England. The two went to Hartford, Connecticut where John remained and raised a large family. Thomas, on the other hand, headed up the Connecticut River Valley and settled here in Windsor County. He will die here on July 28, 1831 (this according to bible records). But I do not find him in 1820 or 1830 here in Windsor. Thomas married Rosamond Rounseval in Washington, New Hampshire on September 24, 1787. In the 1820 New Hampshire census, there is a Thomas Putnam and a younger John Putnam in Washington, Cheshire County, N.H. Must be him and his son John, but just not sure. Also I think he is the one in Delaware County, New York in 1830, where he probably died. Since this family is not descended from John Putnam of Salem, Eben assigns no numbers, and had very little information.

 

 

VERMONT 1820 CENSUS

 

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. Once again, I am listing by County in hopes of grouping these families.

 

JACOB PUTNAM  Manchester, Bennington County

The listing is 400110  10410. He is number 1882, a son of Jacob Putnam (768) and Abigail Burnap. He was born in Wilton, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire on October 4, 1771. He married Mary Burton in Wilton on January 14, 1796. They will be off to Chautauqua County, New York in about fifteen years. Jacob will die there September 30, 1844 in Westfield, New York.

 

GIDEON PUTNAM  Cabot, Caledonia County

The listing is 000010  001101. Jeptha’s son has moved over from Marshfield.

ISAAC PUTNAM  Burlington, Chittenden County

The listing is 000022-10201 way over on the right indicating this is a black family. He was in Franklin County in 1810. The sons would be Thomas, Jacob, and another son who married the Violet who is widowed here in 1830.

 

GEORGE PUTNAM  Guildhall, Essex County

The listing is 011020  02100. This appears to be the same guy who was listed as Abel Putnam here in 1810. However now there are two guys in the 26-45 age range. One guess is that he is Abel Putnam’s (457), born in Charlestown, NH February 16, 1799. Possibly George is the son of Seth Putnam, and who was probably with his brother Seth (Jr.) in 1810. The listing is probably for Abel himself who was here in 1810. Abel’s son, John Whipple Putnam (1146) will be here through the 1850 census. In 1830 he will be listed as head of the household here in Lunenburg, Essex County indicating Able had died by that point. His mom is with him then.

 

ASA PUTNAM  Cambridge, Franklin County

The listing is 100010  00100. One of Thomas’ sons, grandson of Holyoke. He was born in Bethel, Vermont June 24, 1794 and will die in 1865. He was a farmer and served in the War of 1812. He married Elizabeth Gallup of Cambridge, Vermont on September 28, 1815. His oldest son Sabin has just been born. Sooner or later his children will be: Sabin, Mary, Calvin, Joseph, Curtis, Jane, Charles, Frank, Henry Harrison (everyone who served in the War of 1812 had a kid named Harrison).

 

DAVID PUTNAM  Georgia, Franklin County

The listing is 000102  01010.  A son of the up-coming Thomas. In fact, the other older male is dad himself. Mom, Susanna Stone has headed off to meet her fore-bearers in the sky.

 

LUTHER PUTNAM  Georgia, Franklin County

The listing is 210010  10020. Of course, he is another of Thomas and Susanna’s kids. Luther married first married Sally Batcheller January 10, 1811. She died and he has just married Rhoda Fullington here in Georgia (Vermont, not the Southern place) on May 7, 1820. The four kids shown here would be with Sally. The older gal might be his only sister, Lucretia.

 

THOMAS PUTNAM  Georgia, Franklin County

Since he is not in the index as he is living with his son David, there is no listing except we know he’s here. Based on the report, he is over 45 and his wife Susanna Stone has died since 1810. He’s number 481 in Eben’s book, a son of Holyoke number 192, but you knew that if you read the earlier year’s census reports here in Vermont.

 

JOHN PUTNAM JR.  Bradford, Orange County

The listing is 100010  00100. He is the son of the above listed John. He is number 1954. He was born in Fairley May 22, 1793. He married Mary Puckett here.

 

JONATHAN PUTNAM  Bradford, Orange County

DANIEL PUTNAM  Newbury, Orange County

The listing is 000100  00101. He is Daniel Putnam jr. number 1834. His father died in 1802, the older woman is his mother Sarah Putnam. Daniel has just married Rebecca Carleton December 21, 1816.

 

JOEL PUTNAM  Newbury, Orange County

The listing is 000100  00101. He is number 1836, a son of Daniel and Sarah Putnam. He was born here July 28, 1896. Not certain of the older woman. Might be his mom, but it looks like she’s with his brother Dan. Maybe she hops around between the two making cookies and stuff for them.

 

WILLIAM W. PUTNAM  Randolph, Orange County

The listing is 000020  01010. He is William Witt Putnam number 1206 and a son of Ezra Putnam and Rebecca Dike. He was born in Bethel, Windsor County on August 30, 1796. He married Philena Buck on April 3, 1819. The other male is probably his twin brother Simeon who is not married yet, but will be by 1824. William and Philena will be back in Bethel in 1830, and then in 1834 will move to Erie County, New York and in 1838 they’ll head to Union City, Erie County, Pennsylvania where he will die May 12, 1848. Philena will head to Iowa with her daughter Lucinda and die out there May 18, 1888.

 

JOSEPH PUTNAM  Thetford, Orange County

Joseph just stuck around and kept the old farm. He married Irena Holdridge here December 2, 1813.

CALEB PUTNAM  Calais, Washington County

Listing is 411210  00021. He’s number 1238, a son of Caleb Putnam of Croyden, New Hampshire. Don’t get him confused with the Caleb in Middlesex. Caleb was born February 28, 1799. He married Susannah Hayward of Croyden and they headed to Vermont in 1803. They will be here a while.

From what Eben had in his book, Joseph decided to retire from active farming, and left his farm to his son Gideon. Joseph then moved with his son Jacob here to Marshfield in 1819. Joseph operated not only his farm, but a saw mill and a grist mill.

 

JOSHUA PUTNAM  Marshfield, Washington County

JACOB PUTNAM JR.  Middlesex, Washington County

Listing is 120001  11101. Don’t know why he is listed as Jacob Jr. should be Sr., probably a typo of sorts in the old handwriting. He’s Ebenezer’s son. Been here forever.

 

RUSSELL PUTNAM  Middlesex, Washington County

Listing is 000001  03201. He is number 1098, a son of Ebenezer Putnam and Hannah Russell for whom he was named. He married Abigail Blaisdell April 17, 1803.

The listing is 010010  10010. He’s been here a while and will be until he dies. He is Asa’s son, number 1724.

 

ASA PUTNAM  Grafton, Windham County

The listing is 000010  20100. This is Asa Putnam and his wife Rhoda Hildreth. Based on some Hildreth info, she will die here in 1827. I would guess Asa may have too, as I don’t find him in 1830. Our best guess is that Asa was a son of Thomas Putnam and Rachel Weatherbee from Charlestown, New Hampshire a few miles away across the Connecticut River border. They will have a son, Elbridge, in 1823. He was probably taken in by her folks who were from Vermont. He will appear in 1850, single in Dorset, Vermont. He will then marry and go to Cleveland. He is there in 1860 and will die there in 1866. His wife and kids will return to Deerfield, Mass. and be there in 1870.

JOHN PUTNAM  Grafton, Windham County

The listing is 000030  00100. He is number 1270, a son of John (514) and Susannah Page. John was born in Grafton January 2, 1798. With him are his brother Asher, number 1271 and another male who may have been his cousin Daniel, number 1261, and a female, possibly a sister. None of these folks were married yet. The senior John had died in 1810.

 

WILLIAM PUTNAM  Grafton, Windham County

The listing is 000111  00101.  He is Daniel and Kezia’s son (number 705). He married Esther Hubbard back in Wilton, New Hampshire on October 25, 1810 and moved here with his family shortly thereafter. He’ll be here the rest of his life, as will Esther.

 

ASA PUTNAM  Guilford, Windham County

The listing is 200001  02010. He is number 1343, a son of Adonijah Putnam (540) and Mary Wilkins. He was born here in Guilford in about 1773. He married Nancy Wilcox here January 5, 1804. He has been here all his life. He’ll be here again in 1830 and then die about 1832.

 

JARED PUTNAM  Guilford, Windham County

The listing is 100010  01010. He is indexed as Jerre, but he is Adonijah’s son Jared, number 1348. He was born in Guilford in May 1788 and died in Brattleboro May 6, 1844. He married Elizabeth Reed, originally from Warren, Rhode Island, in 1809 here in Guilford. He is a farmer and a cooper. The children shown now are Augustus Wayne Putnam born May 7, 1815 and Nancy Reed Putnam born about 1811.

 

LEMUEL PUTNAM  Guilford, Windham County

The listing is 300110  11010. Number 1344. Adonijah’s son is still here. He is married to Tabitha Goodwin. Seems he will die here in the 1830s. The family doesn’t appear in 1840, probably with her folks, but the kids pop up in Brattleboro starting in 1850.

 

TARRANT PUTNAM  Halifax, Windham County

The listing is 011110  10200. This is a tricky one. I believe he is number 1733, a son of Josiah Putnam (721) and Sybil Smith of Warren, Massachusetts. If so, he was born there April 1, 1780 and will die here February 27, 1837. He married Nancy Shepard in Warren on June 4, 1818, and it looks like he headed straight on up here. His uncle Asa was in this neck of the woods since the 1770s. Now there are just too many kids here. His age is okay, Nancy’s also. But there is another gal in here in her mid 20s with her husband, who I would guess is Tarrant’s younger brother Henry (1738). Now both Henry and his wife Sophia Blair died in 1829 so that’s why they are not around in 1830. The next eldest male is Tarrant’s son Charles. Have no clues as to the youngest male. Now, come 1830, we will find Charles married and off on his own. Tarrant and Nancy will be here with their son, and some daughters. Obviously, Tarrant was married before, but Eben only lists Nancy. But to marry at age 38 was kinda strange in those days, and three of the children were born long before the 1818 wedding date. Of course, the 1818 date may not be correct. Just do not know.

 

JONAS PUTNAM  Westminster, Windham County

Listing is 000010  20100. He married Christine Evans in nearby Athens on July 29, 1816. He may be number 1325, a son of Reuben Putnam (537) and Elizabeth Mason of Sutton. He will die shortly, and this is the only time we see him.

However, his eldest son, Stephen, was born in Canada in 1815, so that’s obviously where he has been prior to coming south of the border which is only about 50 miles from here. In 1840 he will be living with his son Stephen in Burlington. There were a bunch of Patenaudes from Quebec. We think this Lewis or Louis is one who had his name ‘Anglicized’ to Putnam.
