You’ll see that I think Nellie is the wife of Daniel Proctor Putnam and Grace who was listed separately was their daughter. This is only a guess. Rand Putnam thinks this 1880 California census is the answer based on little old Grace and Hattie’s ages and birthplaces. The writing on this census could be HATTIE not NELLIE.

Breckenridge, Minnesota May 27, 1912. He was baptized Corigan
Marvel Putnam on March 30, 1913 in Fargo, North Dakota with parents Charles C
and Amelia L. Putnam. I cannot figure his dad out yet. His widowed mom is
currently in Lodi, San Joaquin County. I couldn’t figure her out now in 1930.
But when doing the 1940 census, she was still in Lodi and much more info was
available on Ancestry and Family Search. So, Amelia Rageth
was married to Charles Corrigan Putnam in Aberdeen, Brown County South Dakota
April 1, 1910. They were in the City Directory of Fargo, North Dakota in 1910
and still in 1915. In 1917 Charles is living by himself in Fargo, and in 1919
he has a new wife Bessie Olvida Johnson and they are
in the 1920 census in Fargo. In 1930 Charles and Bessie are in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. They will get divorced and in 1940 Bessie and their son Charles are still
in Cedar Rapids. Charles in 1940 is in West Union, Fayette County Iowa with yet
another wife Cora. He will die in West Union in April 1942. But with all this I
still can’t figure out who Charles folks are. Anyway, getting back to Amelia. She
is a daughter of Caspar Rageth and Elspeth Bardill, both born in Switzerland. She was born in
Wisconsin March 18, 1887 and will die in Sacramento in 1978. She and Charles
had a son Marvel Rageth Putnam born in Breckenridge,
Minnesota May 27, 1912. He was baptized Corigan
Marvel Putnam on March 30, 1913 in Fargo, North Dakota with parents Charles C.
and Amelia L. Putnam. He will be back in Lodi in 1935 and then married to
Florence Elizabeth Fink in San Francisco in 1940.

His death card reads that he is James Baker Putnam born February 2, 1892 in
