WASHINGTON
CENSUS REPORTS
1860 - 1930
In the late 1700s, some American fur traders came to this area. John Jacob Astor established the first settlement called Astoria. In 1846, England gave up its clam to the area and the border with Canada was established. In 1848, Washington was part of the newly formed Oregon Territory. In 1853, Washington became its own Territory and in 1889 became the 42nd State. Gold was discovered in 1860 in Walla Walla and the railroad reached the area in 1888. The first census reports were taken while it was only a Territory.

Michigan with his folks Azra or Ezra and Jane Putman. Not sure who he was

but I would guess based on his parent’s birthplaces that he is a son of the
