Census Reports

1861

==============

 

UPDATED JULY 9, 2022

 

I am going to add entries as I find them or others send them. In 2009 they put out an index, but no images or ways of connecting anyone. Not much help, but better than the nothing up till then. Better and more bodies in 2011. Rand Putnam did the best in Nova Scotia in 1861 and 1871.

 

 

NEW BRUNSWICK

 

LEUIZA PUTMAN  Petersville, Queens, New Brunswick

She is a PEATMAN. In 1871 there is a GEORGE PUTMAN in Brantford West, Ontario who is also really a Peatman. Both Louisa and George are both from Nova Scotia and most likely related.

 

 

NOVA SCOTIA

 

The listings start with number of males then number females and then our information and identification or guess or whatever. A great gal, Jane Currie Wile wrote a genealogy/history on the Putnams of Nova Scotia in 2001. She gave ‘numbers’ to the ones in the various lines coming down from Timothy Putnam and William Putnam who came up here from Salem Village (Danvers), Massachusetts in the later 1700s. I’ll use these numbers when I can, and if you buy or find her book, you can trace the lines back to John Putnam of Salem, Mass. and forward up to the present. I’ll also use, if possible, Eben Putnam’s numbering system from his 1908 2-volume set of books the Putnam Family History. And also Rand Putnam has some extra stuff I’ll put in too. These folks fell in love with Nova Scotia and most hung around all their lives.
