MISSISSIPPI
Census
Returns
1820 - 1930
UPDATED MARCH 17,
2024
Georgia
claimed a great portion of Mississippi in the late 1700s and many early
settlers came from there. It became a Territory in 1798 and included most of
what is now Alabama. In 1817, Mississippi became the 20th State, and Alabama
was split off into a separate Territory. The first Federal Census was taken in
1820.
In
the 1820 census males are broken down 0-9, 10-15, 16-18, 19-25, 26-44, 45 and
older. Females are divided 0-9, 10-15, 16-25, 26-44, 45 and over.
In
the 1830 and 1840 census both males and females are listed 0-4, 5-9, 10- 14,
15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, etc.
From
1850 on ages and states of birth are shown. In 1880 places of birth are listed
for the person, their father and their mother. In the 1880 Soundex only
families with children under 10 are listed. In the 1900 and later Soundex, all
families are listed.
MISSISSIPPI 1820 CENSUS
There
were no Putmans or Putmans in the 1820 Index.
MISSISSIPPI 1830 CENSUS
In
the 1830 census both males and females are listed 0-4, 5-9, 10- 14, 15-19,
20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, etc.
A. W. PUTNAM Claiborne County
This
is Albigence Waldo Putnam from Marietta, Ohio. His
wife is Catherine Ann Sevier, they were married here April 14, 1825. She will
die and he will marry her sister Cornelia Sevier November 6, 1834 and then go
to Davidson County, Tennessee where they appear in 1840. The listing is
200001 00001. He descends from General
Israel Putnam. This New England Line is Albigence
> Aaron Waldo > Israel > Israel > Joseph > Thomas > John
Putnam of Salem, Massachusetts.
JAMES PUTMAN Copiah County
This
is the James Putman who was a son of Daniel Putman and from Abbeville County,
South Carolina. His wife is Elizabeth Johnson. Their listing is 01001 02010.
JEREMIAH PUTMAN Copiah County
Jerry
is James' son. He is recently married to Elizabeth Smith and they have two
daughters. Listing is 00100 20100.
MISSISSIPPI 1840 CENSUS
In
the 1840 census males and females are listed 0-4, 5-9, 10- 14, 15-19, 20-29,

has moved and is shown as 100001 24001. His father must have died during the
past decade.
MISSISSIPPI 1850 CENSUS
E. R. (ELIAS ROBERTS)
PUTMAN Chickasaw County
Elias
is a son of Willis Putman and Elizabeth Fannin from Cleveland County, North
Carolina. He is 25 NC living with Charles and Lucretia Morgan both from South
Carolina.
LORENZO D. PUTMAN Chickasaw County
Lorenzo
Dow Putman is Elias' brother and another of Willis' sons. He is 22 NC and
living with Joseph and Selina Stevens.
ISAAC PUTMAN Choctaw County
He is
21 SC living with Seaborn and Mary PUTMAN Garrett from South Carolina. Mary is
a Putman, a daughter of William Putman and Mary Mitchell from Laurens County,
South Carolina. Her sister Francis PUTMAN married Osborn Garrett and is also
living in the area. His full name is William Isaac Putman, and is probably a
son of James Putman and Elizabeth Hughes from South Carolina. Others of that
family will be here shortly. James and Mary were siblings.
MELISSA PUTMAN DeSoto County
She
is 18 TN and living with William (42 NC) and Elizabeth (35 TN) Huddleston.
According to the mortality schedule, it seems her brother was David G. Putnam
born in Tennessee and died of Typhus. I don't know who he was. David had a
brother, James W. Putman who was mayor of Hernando here in the 1840s. James
died in 1843 at age 34, David October 20, 1849 at age 24. According to a
descendant James was married to Eliza Patterson of Tennessee. See the listing
in 1850 for Eliza in Marshall County, Tennessee.
OSCAR PUTNAM Hinds County
He is
20 TN and is a son of Charles Caleb Putnam and Martha Murdock who are now in
Smith County.
JOHN M. (MURDOCK) PUTNAM Hinds County
John
Murdock Putman 28 DC is another son of Charles Caleb Putnam. His wife Sophronia
Lee Fearn is 20 AL and living with them is his
brother JAMES RUSSELL PUTNAM 24 TN.
Another son of Charles, SAMUEL PUTNAM
18 TN lives nearby. Sam will be with his brother Bruce in Vicksburg, Madison
County in 1860, but will also be married in Warren County as well.
WILLIAM PUTNAM Hinds County
He is
24 TN, but I do not have him listed as a son of Charles, so I am not certain
who he is. If the age is 14 TN, then he would be Charles’ son, William Myatt.
That William is with his folks, but might be visiting his kin over here in
Hines County.
JOHN PUTMAN Marshall County
He is
listed as a physician 38 from Virginia. He is widowed with 2 small children,
Catherine 9 and Warren 7 both born in Mississippi. The Melissa Putman in next
door DeSoto County may be his daughter as well. It appears the next two guys,
Andrew and William may be his brothers. The states they were born in follows
the pattern of the Putman family from Virginia that went to Guilford County,
North Carolina and then into Jefferson County, Tennessee.
ANDREW PUTMAN Marshall County
He is
35 TN and a tailor. He lives with the next William who is possibly a brother.
WILLIAM PUTMAN Marshall County
William
is 26 or 36 NC. He too is a tailor. If these are brothers, it is confusing.
J. E. PUTMAN Scott County
This
is Jeremiah Putman 48 SC and his wife Elizabeth Smith 41 KY. The children, all
born in Mississippi, were: Sarah Jane 19 MS, Miranda 16 MS, Cassa
15 MS, Martha A. 12 MS, William J. 10 MS, Andrew J. 8 MS, Albert B. 5 MS,
Dudley N. 2 MS and Milton 1 MS.
CHARLES (CALEB) PUTMAN Smith County
He
is actually Caleb Putnam Jr. and a son of Caleb Putnam (Eben’s number 1904) and
Hannah Russell from Newburyport, Massachusetts. He was born October 1, 1793. He
was then in Washington D.C about 1816 and married Margaret Murdock there
October 17, 1820. They moved to Tennessee in 1824 and were in Knox County
Tennessee in the 1830 census, then to Granger County Tennessee in 1840
and then here to Smith County. He is 51 MA, his wife Margaret Murdock 45 DC,
Bruce 16 TN, Mynott (William Mynatt) 14 TN and Mary Conally 15 SC. Mary doesn't seem to be part of the family.
Bruce will be in Vicksburg in 1860 with his brother Samuel who is in Hinds
County now. Both Bruce and Sam will also be in Madison Parish Louisiana in 1860
as well. Sam is there in New Orleans in 1870 and Bruce is in Pointe Coupee
Parish Louisiana in 1880. Not sure why he is listed as "Charles" here
as his name is Caleb. Perhaps the census taker made a transcription error. Or
perhaps Caleb went by Charles from time to time. In any case, this line is
This line is Caleb > Caleb > Archelaus > Archelaus > Nathaniel >
Benjamin > Nathaniel > John Putnam of Massachusetts.
MISSISSIPPI 1860 CENSUS
There
are now several Putnams from New England. There were a great many Black
families that I am not listing.
G. M. (GEORGE
MELVILLE) PUTNAM Natchez, Adams County
His
is George Melville Putnam and is listed as 32 NH. His wife is Mary Ann Parker
32 Ireland and has daughters Laura 2 DC, and Elizabeth 1 DC. George is listed as a mail contractor. It is strange to
find George and his family here in Mississippi. We can surmise that the U. S.
government has sent him on a temporary assignment to troubleshoot some mail
issues. He married Mary Ann Parker on June 6, 1856 in DC. He will die in Glen
Falls, New York on July 15, 1864. He is the son of Elisha Durant Putnam and
Nancy Melville. He was in Woodstock, VT in 1850.
LORENZO D. (DOW) PUTMAN Calhoun County
He
has moved from Chickasaw County and is now 29 NC and his wife is 15 AL. His
wife's name is Kate or Katie. He is in Noxubee County in 1880 and she is listed
as Kitty. Lorenzo will die there July 10, 1886. She is a widow in 1900. He is a
son of Willis Putman and Elizabeth Fannin from Cleveland County, North Carolina
ELI R. PUTMAN Calhoun County
Willis'
son has married Mary Ann Young and moved with his brother to Calhoun County. He
is 35 NC, Mary A. 27 TN, Evelina 7 MS, Franklin P. 5 MS, Henry Y. 3 MS and

returns. Another son of Willis Putman and Elizabeth Fannin from Cleveland
County, North Carolina
CHARLES PUTMAN Choctaw County
He is
26 SC, his wife Essence Jane Rush is 20 MS and they have James C. 3 and Johnson
P. 1. Charles is a son of James Putman and Elizabeth Hughes from South

PUTMAN Choctaw County
These
are Charles brothers. George is 28 SC and John is 21 SC.
JOHN D. PUTMAN Choctaw County
He is
3 MS living with John and Annie Knight from SC. They are around 50 years old.
This family lives between our Garrett family and George and John above. Annie
Knight is probably a sister of the James Putman who married Elizabeth Hughes.
Anne was born about 1797. My guess is that he was a son of John Putman's first
marriage. His dad is widowed or at least alone here in 1860. John will be in
Prairie County, Arkansas in 1900 and back here by 1910.
C. (CALEB) PUTNAM Canton, Madison County
He
is Caleb Putnam Jr. and a son of Caleb Putnam (Eben’s number 1904) and Hannah
Russell from Newburyport, Massachusetts. He was born October 1, 1793. He was
then in Washington D.C about 1816 and married Margaret Murdock there October
17, 1820. They moved to Tennessee in 1824. Caleb Putnam and family were in Knox
County Tennessee in the 1830 census, then to Granger County Tennessee in 1840
and then to Smith County Mississippi in 1850. The census information is C.
Putnam 70 MA Lawyer, Margaret Putnam 53 DC, J.R. Putnam 33 TN Merchant, Bettie
B. Putnam 4 MS, Mino Putnam 24 TN Railroad Conductor, Horace Hall 27 CT
Bookkeeper, W.J. Roberts 24 VA Teacher, C.A. Roberts NC. Caleb will
next appear in the census in 1860 in Canton, Madison County, Mississippi before
dying in New Orleans in 1862. This line is This line is Caleb> Caleb >
Archelaus > Archelaus > Nathaniel > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John
Putnam of Massachusetts.
BRUCE & SAMUEL PUTNAM Madison County
These
are two of Charles Caleb Putnam and Margaret Murdock's kids living in a rooming
house. They were in Hinds County in 1850 and their folks in Smith County. Both
are merchants. Bruce is 26 TN and Samuel is 29 TN. Sam is also listed with his
own family in Warren County. Must just be visiting or working here.

Civil War, be captured and spend time in a prison in Boston. He is also listed
over in Madison Parish Louisiana in 1860 with his brother Bruce. He will be a
liquor merchant in New Orleans in 1870 probably making and selling moonshine.
MISSISSIPPI 1870 CENSUS

Young is the widow of Eli R. Putman who died in 1865. She is 37 MS, Henry 13,

PUTNAM Chickasaw County

42 VT, Rose 16 IL, Carlin 14 IL and Frank 10 IL. He is a son of Reuben and
Eleanor Putnam from Bethel, Windsor County, Vermont. He was in Kane County,
Illinois during the 50s and 60s. He married Frances Helen Orcutt there November
24, 1850, and she was with him in 1860. Guess she died. By 1880, he will be in
Hamilton, Minnesota with a couple of his brothers. He will be in South Dakota
in 1900, and will die in Dawson, Minnesota on April 13, 1918.
JOHN PUTMAN Choctaw County
James
and Elizabeth' son has now married. He is 34 SC, Nancy Jane Willows is 29 SC

JOSEPH PUTNAM Canton, Madison County
He is
24 ME and a teacher. He’ll be in Hancock County in 1880. He is Joseph Watson
Putnam, a son of George Putnam and Clarissa Watson from Charlestown, New
Hampshire. George went to Maine it looks like, but in 1880 Joe stated that New
Hampshire was his home, which makes a lot more sense. His father George was a
newspaper editor, and brought the family here. George died, but Joseph will be
here a while and then off to California. He became an orator on behalf of
Abolition. He traveled all over the South. This line goes back from Joseph to
George (number 1113 in Eben Putnam’s books to Seth
Putnam and Dolly Holden of Charlestown > Ebenezer > Seth > Thomas >
Thomas > John Putnam the first to America. See 1880 for more on Joe. His
brother Oramel Putnam is around here, but I can’t
find him. Joseph will move to Chicago, and his wife will be there in 1900 and
1910 as a widow with the kids.

He is
William Mynott Putnam a son of Charles Caleb Putnam. He was at home in 1850 in
Smith County Mississippi and probably in Alabama in 1860. He is a railroad
