Now we finally get names, ages and states of birth. It gets a little better from here on.
MADISON PUTNAM
Addison, Addison County
He is a millwright, 35 NY and boarding.
SARAH PUTNAM
Addison, Addison County
She is 18 NY and boarding with a Smith Family. She is some 3 pages further along than the Madison listed earlier, but they might be connected.
THOMAS PUTMAN
Bennington, Bennington County
He is 50 VT and boarding with a Potter Family as a laborer.
ELBRIDGE PUTMAN
Dorset, Bennington County
He is a marble worker, 27 VT and is boarding. He will marry Emily Adeline Melendy on February 25, 1858, and be in Cleveland, Ohio in the 1860 census, and die January 30, 1866. Not sure who his folks were though. A note on Ancestry states they were Asa Putnam and Rhoda Hildreth. There is also a record of his birth in Deerfield, Mass. that he was born May 21, 1823, but I think he was born up here in VT or Mass according to the 1880 where the kids parents birthplaces are shown.
JOHN PUTNAM
Cabot, Caledonia County
He is 55 MA, Fanny Stone 50 VT. He is a farmer and has been here a bunch of years. In 1840, they had a 5 year old son. The 15 year old Seth living a few miles away is probably that son. He is John Royan Putnam, a son of Gideon Putnam (396) and Abigail Holton of Charlton, Massachusetts. They will be here in 1860 too.
SETH PUTNAM
Lyndon, Caledonia County
He is 15 VT and living with Francis and Celia Fisher. He is likely the son of John and Fanny of Cabot, Caledonia County. They had a 5 year old son in 1840.
STEPHEN PUTMAN
St. Johnsbury, Caledonia County
Still around. He is now 72 MA and Deborah is 69 MA. He is a cooper.
JOSEPH PUTNAM
Sutton, Caledonia County
He is now 71 RI, Lydia Matthewson, his wife, 64 RI, Horace 17 VT, and Lydia 15 VT. He is Jokton's son. The two kids are actually grandchildren. They belong to Joseph’s son Jenckes Matthewson Putnam and his wife Emily both of whom died last year (1849).
LUCY PUTNAM Sutton,
Caledonia County
She is 60 RI and living with Harvey Childs 54 NH and Silvania Childs 57 RI. I would guess that Lucy and Silvania are sisters.
MARY E. PUTNAM
Sutton, Caledonia County
She is 7 VT, living with Lydia Ruggles. She might also be a daughter of Jenckes and Emily.
HARRIET PUTNAM
Wheelock, Caledonia County
She is 17 VT living with Charles and Candice Ingalls. She’ll be here boarding with another family in 1860.
DORINDA PUTNAM
Burlington, Chittenden County
She is a black woman 32 VT. She is probably connected to the family of Thomas or Violet that were here in 1820. Age fits Violet’s daughter the best.
LEWIS PUTNAM
Burlington, Chittenden County
He is 17 CAN, a carpenter living with John Clure also a carpenter from Canada. He should be the eldest son of Stephen Putnam and Rosella Charles who were here in 1840 and are in Franklin County now. BUT, he could be Stephen’s younger brother based on the Canada birthplace. If so, the age is more likely 27.
He is 20 VT and lives with his maternal grandfather Levi Cogswell 61 MA. George's folks are Charles Putnam (1183) and Betsy Cogswell from Addison County. Charles was born in Montpelier and was a son of John Putnam (467) and Catherine Case, his first wife. George is still here in 1860.
HARRIET PUTNAM
Colchester, Chittenden County
She is Harriet Pearce the widow of Zeba Putnam (2766) who died here in Colchester June 21, 1848. They were in Calais in 1840. She is 42 VT, Mariah 19 VT, Ruth A. 17 VT, Ira 12 VT, Sarah E. 4 VT. She runs a boarding house and there are a bunch of others living here. She’ll be here in 1860 and then in Nebraska after that.
ASA PUTMAN
Underhill, Chittenden County
He is 56 VT and without his wife, it seems. Children at home are Betsy 20 VT, Charles 19 VT, Calvin 24 VT, Jane 14 VT, Henry 11 VT and Francis (guy) 9 VT. The upcoming Joseph lives nearby and is another son. He is a son of Thomas Putnam (#481) and Susanna Stone, and was born in Bethel, Vermont. In 1860 he has his wife, Elizabeth Gallup, back at home.
CHARLES PUTNAM
Underhill, Chittenden County
He is 16 VT and living with Austin and Matilda Spaulding. Probably a dual listing for Asa's son; there just weren't any other families here in Underhill.
JOSEPH PUTMAN
Underhill, Chittenden County
He is 21 VT, Julia 17 VT. Her mother Anna Wallace 67 VT is living with them. This family lives close to his father Asa Putman.
AARON PUTNAM
Westford, Chittenden County
He is a farmer 38 VT and Anna Osgood is 39 VT. They will be missing in 1860 and both will be here in 1870. He would be a son of Luther and his first wife Sally Batcheller. The family was here through the 1840s. He’ll be here through the mid 1870s. In 1880 Anna will be widowed and still here in 1900.
HAMAN PUTNAM
Westford, Chittenden County
He is a farmer 26 VT, Mary is 28 VT. They live with the Julius Farnsworth Family. He is Luther's son. Not sure about Mary unless she is a first wife I don’t know about. He will soon marry Juliette Chapin. They are here in 1860, but Juliette is widowed here in Westford in the 1870 census.
He was born in 1830 in Canada East (Montreal-Quebec area). His original spelling was Patenaude, now is pronounced Putnode and will soon become Putnam. He is listed as a brick mason 19 CE. Next door is a Rose King 17 or 19 CE whom he will soon marry. They are in Clayton County, Iowa by 1860 with kids born in Vermont starting in 1851. He is not really a Putnam, but I am adding him in to help explain him when he does start using the Putnam spelling. Matt Putnam dug up all this info. Thanks.
He is now 65 VT, Rhoda 57 VT, Newell 23 VT and Lovell 15 VT. This will be his last appearance, as he will die here shortly on June 1, 1850. Rhoda will be around until she dies November 28, 1868. Newell will also die shortly on June 2, 1856.
MARIA PUTNAM
Westford, Chittenden County
She is 28 VT living with a Weaver family in what seems to be a boarding house. She lives very close to the above Haman Putnam. Luther had three sons in 1840. She could be a widow of the ‘missing’ one, or simply and unwed daughter, or a dual list of Haman’s present wife.
JOHN W. (WHIPPLE) PUTNAM Lunenburg, Essex County
He is number 1146, Abel and Polly's son who has been here most of his life. His first wife, Clarissa Moore, died November 3, 1838. He married Ellen Horne in New Hampshire in 1843. He is 36 NH and a farmer. His wife Ellen G. is 32 NH, Alonzo M. 11 VT, William C. 6 VT, Benjamin F. 3 VT. Also there is a physician George Vincent 28 VT and Lavinia Todd 76 NH who may be Ellen's mom. Ellen gave her name as Horne on the marriage certificate, but that may have been a married name. I don't find them here in Vermont in 1840. He will die shortly, August 7, 1852. Ellen will marry a Caruthers fella and be here in 1860. Ben will be here with Ellen, the other two sons will be just across the river in Coos County, New Hampshire in 1860.
STEPHEN PUTMAN
Swanton, Franklin County
He is 35 CAN, Rosella Charles his wife 35 VT, Mary 15 VT, Lydia 14 VT, Jonathan 12 VT and Stephen 10 VT. They were in Burlington, Chittenden County in 1840. He was with his folks Lewis Putnam in both 1830 and 1840, and was in Canada before that. I don’t find him after this, but he was in Newbury, Orange County by then. The Vermont VR states he died in Newbury on July 7, 1864 of heart disease. Mary and Lydia are on their own in Orleans County in 1860, and his son Stephen is married in Newbury, Orange County in 1870. Then Rosella is in Essex County, NY in 1870 with the rest of the family born in VT. Something is also wrong with this entry. There were at least 4 other kids from ages 8 down to 2 who are with Rosella in 1870.
ALVAH S. (SABIN) PUTNAM Cambridge, Lamoille County
He is 27 VT, a farmer, Martha Call, his wife, 25 CAN, Cornelia A. 7 VT, Eciba F. (?) 5 VT, Andrew G. 2 VT Alvah O. 7/12 VT. He is a son of Asa Putnam and Elizabeth Gallup. Harrison Putnam is another son of Asa and is living just down the road. They'll be in Chittenden County in 1860. He'll be indexed then as 'Satrine'. He married Martha Call in Eden, Vermont on October 12, 1842. Martha seems to be a full blooded Indian from a tribe that moved from Vermont to Canada.They will be here in 1860 as well.

He was born in Montpelier February 3, 1811. The wife bit is confusing. He married Sarah Ann Mason in Ludlow, Vermont on March 5, 1838. Not sure who Mary is; she is 2 years older than Sarah would be. To make matters more confusing, Mary and Julia aren't around in 1860 and by then there is a second daughter Mary Cecilia. In 1870, Sarah is present and accounted for though. She will be widowed here in 1900. At any rate, Jim runs a hotel, the Franklin House, here in town.

He is listed 35 VT (really MA), Harriet Bond his wife 26 VT and Arvilla J. 3 VT. Interesting, Arvilla is also listed with his brother Chandler. In 1860 she is still with Chandler.

With her are Sarah 48 VT, Adolphus 53 VT and Elias 50 VT. These last three would be children of Stephen and Sarah and were shown at home with them in 1840. Then there is a Malipa (?) Putnam, a female 9 VT. No idea how she fits in. Everyone here seems to be gone by the 1860 census.

By 1860, Eliza and the kids are in Lowell, Mass., and she will be in 1870. And Alonzo will be alone in Winchester, New Hampshire in 1860. They will still be apart in 1870, so I guess a divorce or some such took place. Alonzo will be back in Vermont by 1880 with a nephew.
EZRA PUTNAM
Cavendish, Windsor County
He is Phineas' son and has been here most of his life, except that ill fated trip to Indiana in 1837 (see the 1840 listing for that story). He is now 80 MA and still farming.

ORRICK PUTNAM
Chester, Windsor County
He is 35 MA (VT really), Miranda 32 VT, John F. 8 VT, Stella 7 VT and there is a Charles M. Putnam 67 VT(?) with them. Orrick, number 3366, was born here in Chester May 23, 1815.

They were listed here in Weathersfield in 1800 and in 1830, and back in Charlestown for the 1840 census. They were probably in Weathersfield in 1810 and 1820, but just not indexed properly.
PATTY PUTNAM
West Windsor, Windsor County
She is not in the census. The house is a mile and a half up a dirt road in the woods and the census taker simply missed this family. But she is here, just as she was in 1840. She is now 70 and has her son Jonas and his wife Mary Jane Rowe and her two younger sons James and Charles.

He is a watchmaker by then.
LABAN (LUBEN) PUTNAM
Woodstock, Windsor County
He is now 47 VT, a blacksmith. His wife Harriet Burnham is 42 VT, Eugene 11 VT, another son 8 VT (looks like Isaac now and Jerome in 1860), Harriet P. 6 VT.

He was born in either Reading Township or in Andover, both in Windsor County, on August 9, 1803. He will die here in Woodstock June 30, 1874. Harriet will hang in until April 23, 1893. His mother and brothers have all headed to New York State, and settled in all different counties.

(ALVAH) SABINE PUTNAM
Underhill, Chittenden County
In 1850 he was listed as Alvah S. in Cambridge, Lamoille County, now just as Satrine. In looking up the record, the name looks more like Sabine. I believe the name is actually Sabine, and he is a son of Asa Putnam and Elizabeth Gallup from here. Thomas' son Asa had been here in Underhill for a long time, though he has just moved over into Lamoille County for this reporting period. Anyway, Sabine is now 36 VT, Martha Call, his wife, 34 CDN, Euciba 14 VT, Andrew 12 VT, Orville (Alvah Orville) 9 VT, Rollins 7 VT, Eliza 6 VT, Emma (Martha Emma) 2 VT and Carlton 4/12 VT.

JOEL PUTNAM
Cambridge, Lamoille County
He is 45 VT, Esther Howe, his wife, 43 VT and Luther 17 VT. Can't find him in 1850. But he is the son of Luther Putnam and his first wife Sarah Batcheller of Westford, Chittenden County. By 1880, his son Luther will be married and living back in Westford. Makes sense to me.

ASA PUTNAM Hyde
Park, Lamoille County
He was in Chittenden County before this. He is Thomas and Susanna's son, and was in Underhill, Chittenden County from the 1820s through the early 1850s. He is now 66 VT, Elizabeth (Gallop) 60 VT, Henry W. 21 VT and Fred E. 4 VT. In 1850 there was no wife shown, so I do not know where Elizabeth was then. Also not certain how young Fred fits in here. Asa's son Charles, who would be 29 now, is missing. Another of Asa's sons, Calvin, lives nearby.
ABEL PUTNAM Johnson, Lamoille Count
