Census Reports

UPDATED JUNE 17, 2022

 

MASSACHUSETTS 1870 CENSUS

 

The 1870 Census in Massachusetts was a mess. Dozens and Dozens of Putnams were overlooked, miss-indexed or just lost. Suffolk and Worcester Counties were the worst hit. Most of the folks here in 1860 are still here and will re-emerge in 1880.

 

LEWIS A. (ADRIAN LEWIS) PUTNAM  Provincetown, Barnstable County

He is 35 MA, Addie (Adelaide Osborne Cook) 30 MA, Nellie F. (Flint) 6 MA and Abbie C. (Cook) 11/12 MA. He is a son of Adrian Putnam (2001) and Fanny Flint of Danvers. He was born there August 29, 1834 and married Addie here in Provincetown (December 18, 1860), where he was a teacher and is now a jeweler. Provincetown has long been a community for artsy-craftsy folks, and looks like Lewis was a charter member. They will be here in 1880 with more kids.

 

ADOLPHUS PUTNAM  Adams, Berkshire County

He is 44 NY and works in a shoe factory. His wife Mary is 34 MA, Maria 10 RI. Can’t find him in NY or RI or MA at any time. Take a look at the 1880. They look like the Mason and Mary here in Adams then.

 

HENRY PUTNAM  Adams, Berkshire County

He is 40 NY (really MA), a paper manufacturer. Clarinda Page Ingalls his wife is 42 VT. He is a son of Jonathan and Reliance Putnam, and was in Pittsfield in 1850. Henry married Clarinda in 1851, and in 1860 they were in Lee. Reliance is still here in town with her daughter Mary, but not listed. They will be Franklin County in 1880.

ABNER PUTNAM  Becket Berkshire County

He is 70 MA, a laborer and boarding. Since he has never been reported in a census before, I am not sure who his folks are. But, in 1880 he is living with Joel and Sally in a Poor House, so he must belong to the elder Joel and Sally who were the folks of the Joel and Sally he’s with in 1880.

 

HENRY PUTNAM  Dalton, Berkshire County

He is Marcus’s son, and was here in 1860. He is now 26 MA and married. Mary Jane Cady is 26 MA, Lucie 2 MA. They are here in 1880 and 1900.

In the mid 1870s this whole gang will be in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1880 Lorenzo and Charles will be back here in Richmond, Berkshire County.
