His dad was born in Illinois in about 1859-1860 and both his folks were from New York. I had no idea as to his folks. BUT, hang on while I was doing this 1940 Census, I finally figured who he was. In doing a search I found an 1860 entry for Eugene Pritman 1 year old in Aurora, Kane County Illinois. His folks were Stephen and Eliza Pritman from New York. He had two brothers and two sisters. I had tracked back to 1900 and couldn’t find him and hunted around Illinois with no luck. But I tried NY in 1870 and 1880 and found Stephen Putman and Elizabeth Alida Eavershine in Mohawk, Montgomery County New York with Eugene and a brother and a sister who were all in Aurora in 1860. Steve was running a saloon there and I guess decided he liked New York beers better so came back here once the Civil War started I guess. So I have just entered the 1860 IL that I never knew existed before under the right spelling of Stephen Putman. Then Stephen was a son of Peter Derrick Putman and Maria Eacher from Ephratah, Fulton County. They were in Mohawk in 1870 and then Steve just disappeared and Eliza was widowed there with the kids in 1880. He didn’t die till 1889 so no idea where he was in 1880. So, Dutch family out of Montgomery County! Thank God for Ancestry.com and it’s search engines and the people who post family group sheets.

She is 23 NY single and boarding. She is a music teacher on her own. Probably piano.

I took lessons from a guy piano teacher and learned a few songs. This was when all you had was radio and movies and no one had ever heard of television. So playing piano well, got you invited to more cocktail parties around town. Anyway, Georgia is a daughter of Michael Arthur Putnam and Eva Otto from Wirt, Allegany County. She was home there through 1935. They spell their name Putnam but they are Dutch folks down from Johannes Poutman for Holland.

EMMA PUTMAN  Bradford, Steuben County

She is 76 NY and widowed. She is living with her brother Albert De Camp and his wife Addie as she was in 1930. I don’t find her in 1920, but in 1910 she was in Campbell, Steuben widowed and with her widowed father John De Camp and her daughter Pearl, then 16, was here with her brother Albert. Up until I started on this 1940 entry, I had no clue whatsoever as to whom her husband was or even could have been. I tried searching for Emma De Camp with no luck then tried Pearl Putman born 1893 and BINGO! First they spelled the name DeCamp (no space). She is Ida Pearl Putman a daughter of Frederick Ulysses Putman and Ida May De Camp and was born in Montour Falls, Schuyler County December 29, 1893. Ida was indeed a daughter of John De Camp and Fidelia Wixon, but she died February 8, 1984 right here in Bradford, Steuben County. Then it seems Fred was ‘single’ in Big Flats, Chemung County and then the family sheet says Fred married Lula Mae Rolfe and had more kids, one of which Gerald is listed above in Bath, Steuben County. All well and good but who the heck is Emma De Camp? So I looked up her daddy John De Camp and saw a note she was Emma Emily De Camp, and yes married Andrew Putman. Gave no dates or anything, but since Freddie was by his lonesome in 1900 and Emma and Pearl were nowhere to be seen, they obviously divorced or split long before 1900 as he was miles away and Emma would have been here living with her folks. So I looked up to see if John De Camp was listed. And Yep, in Campbell, Steuben County he is living with his family AND has a granddaughter Pearl P. De Camp age 6. See, if you get bored and hunt and search, you’ll be surprised what you can find. So ….. Emma De Camp was born in Steuben County in 1862 and will die right here next year in 1941. She briefly married Frederick Ulysses Putman and so Pearl is really a stepdaughter and married Burr W. Morse August 29, 1913. They were in Bath, Steuben County in 1920 and Seneca, Ontario County in 1930 and now they are in Phelps, Ontario County in 1940 and she will die in Manchester, Ontario County January 11, 1988. Burr will die there June 14, 1974. Then ….. as to Freddie. He is a son of Andrew Putman and Maria Dyer from Schuyler and then Steuben County. His dad Andrew Senior and Submit Caswell from New Jersey. So then this is the Dutch gang that started, once in this Country, with Johannes Victorse Pootman in Montgomery County and then David Janse Pottman headed down to Summit and Monmouth and the Sussex Counties in New Jersey and then in the early 1800s after the Revolution wandered back up here into New York State. Now, thanks to Ancestry and the great people who put up family sheets and other information. I had no clues about Emma before attacking the 1940 census, but now know her and her husband’s lines back to Adam and Eve.
