CENSUS REPORTS
1871

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

 

UPDATED AUGUST 23, 2021

 

The 1871 Census listed the people and their birthplaces. There are also several entries for people who have died in the 12-month period ending April 2, 1871. I haven’t added these in as it got confusing. These entries are in what they refer to as Schedule Two. Not all the colonies are listed. Just got Nova Scotia from Rand Putnam this month. As in 1881, there are many more families spelled Putman than Putnam, but are practically all on the New England Putnam line.

 

 

NOVA SCOTIA

 

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. These folks fell in love with Nova Scotia and most hung around all their lives.
