OHIO

CENSUS REPORTS

1810 – 1850

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

UPDATED MARCH 17, 2021

The first large influx of Putnams in Ohio was the New England ‘Ohio Company’ led by Rufus Putnam. The first Federal Census for Ohio was taken in 1820, however there was an 1810 County census for Washington County. Prior to that, there were some tax lists that are available.

In the 1810 census both males and females are broken into 0-9, 10-15, 16-25, 26-44, 45 and over.

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 the 1880 census, places of birth are listed for the person, their father and their mother. In the 1880 Soundex only families with children ten and under are listed. In the 1900 and later Soundex reports, all families are listed.

Ohio was a major entry and jumping off place to the West after the Revolution. The bulk of the families came west from New England. In these reports I will list our 'Southern' folks first and then will list the others, doing the best I can to identify them. Good luck.

Eben Putnam did a huge amount of research on the New England line in the late 1800s and published books in 1908 and 1910. He used a number system that I will stick in. Then in 2004 and 2006 Rand Putnam and Matt Putnam went one better with 2 volumes that pretty much covered Eben’s first volume with much more info that has become available. They had numbering system as well. I’ll try and put both numbers in parenthesis with Eben first. So example Colonel Israel Putnam would be (241/201). If you are researching the lines you should own all 4 volumes. If not get the ‘latest’ ones from Rand who has copies left.

EARLY TAX LISTS

All land that was bought from the Federal Government was tax exempt for the first five years. Anyone appearing on these lists was there at least five years prior to that appearance. Virtually everyone on these early listings came from Massachusetts with General Rufus Putnam and the members of the Ohio Company. Rufus and Company arrived in Marietta, Ohio on April 7, 1788.

OHIO 1798 TAX LIST

BENJAMIN PUTMAN Dayton Township, Hamilton County

He is the ONLY Putnam/Putman listed. That seems to indicate he was there by 1792 or 1793. I wonder if Benjamin is another son of Zachariah's son John. John was an elusive sort of guy and was hard to pin down, especially his children. But Benjamin was a common name in both the Southern and New England branches. Just don't know.

OHIO 1800 TAX LIST

CHRISTOPHER PUTNAM Marietta, Washington County

Couldn’t figure this guy, but Matt Putnam solved this one for us. He found a reference on the internet. Christopher was a black servant of General Israel Putnam. Israel ‘freed’ him and he went to Ohio with his son, Colonel Israel Putnam. I don’t find him later. He may have died or not been ‘counted’ because of his color. Interesting. I’ve spent eons trying to figure this guy out. Thanks, Matt!

OHIO 1810 CENSUS

Here and for a few census reports, I'll separate out the various families by where they came from and what country they originally came from. The New England and Southern folks are, of course, English in origins. The Dutch all came out of New York State, the Germans came originally from Maryland, but one branch moved to Pennsylvania, and another to Virginia prior to flocking to Ohio.

In the 1810 census both males and females are broken into 0-9, 10- 15, 16-25, 26-44, 45 and over.

Again, I will break out the several groups of Putnams and Putmans.

THE SOUTHERN PUTMANS

The Southern Putmans and Putnams descend from Thomas Putnam who came from England to Gloucester County Virginia in 1647. Zachariah Putman, a son of Daniel Putman and Sarah Kendrick, went from Culpeper County Virginia to Mason County Kentucky in the 1790s after the Revolution and then into Ohio about 1816. Most are in Champaign County. You can get much more info by going to the Southern Putmans Section. Look at Zachariah in the Kentucky Section and the Southern Putmans in Ohio Section.

Nancy died on August 23, 1853. He later married Eliza Jane Kendrick in about 1854. He remained there until he died July 24, 1880 and Eliza died February 16, 1878. Listing is 000100 20100.

ZACHARIAH PUTMAN Mad River, Champaign County

He was born on December 9, 1775,and went from Culpeper County Virginia to Mason County Kentucky in the 1790s after the Revolution and then into Ohio about 1816.

THE NEW ENGLAND ENGLISH PUTNAMS

The New England families all descend from John Putnam who came from England to Massachusetts in 1644.

He recently married Rachel Allen. After he dies, Rachel will marry Stephen Kelsey. Now, Matt Putnam found a good genealogy that covers Rachel. When she married, she lived in Erie County Pennsylvania though she was born back in Oneida County New York. There were several Putnam families in Erie County at that time. Most of the kids are accounted for, except two sons of Abijah Putnam born in the same time frame in Oneida County. Albert could be one of those sons. Or possibly he is the son of Anthony Putnam and Rebecca Spooner. They were in Oneida County in the early 1800s and had a son named Albert A. Putnam born in the 1790s back in Vermont where they came from.

DANIEL PUTNAM Oxford Township, Huron County

He will be here in 1830 as well. Listing is 100010 20100. Interesting story here.

His brother Orlean was captured by Indians in 1813 during the War of 1812, and were 'ransomed' back late in 1813. Uzziel is still here and listed shortly. Daniel will hang in here for a while and then about 1837 will go to Hillsdale County Michigan where his wife will die in 1841. He then married a widow, Sarah Margaret Curran and they will head west to Iowa to join a couple of their kids who were there. Dan will die in Nevada, Story County Iowa on February 17, 1880. Just thought you would be interested.

ISAAC PUTMAN Island Creek Township, Jefferson County

They are also listed in Ohio County Virginia now in 1820, and will be in Portage County Ohio in 1830 and in Columbiana County after that.

THE I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT PUTMANS

REUBEN PATMAN Rome, Athens County

Listing is 200011 20011. Looks like a duplicate listing for the Reuben in Hamilton County. Athens is adjacent to Washington County on the Southwest. He is listed later across the state in Hamilton County and then off to Indiana.

JOHN PUTTMAN Sunsbury, Monroe County

The listing is 300010 201001. He may be the guy in Ohio Township, Clermont County from 1830 to 1860. He is in his 30s now. But Matt Putnam found census record for 1830-1840-1850 for a John Pitman here in Sunsbury, so this guy is probably a Pitman.

REUBEN PUTTMAN Springfield, Hamilton County

The listing is 011210 20010. This is in the corner near both Kentucky and Indiana. He next appears in 1840 in Fountain County Indiana. No ideas yet on who he is. Think he is from Vermont, but don’t know the connection yet.

JOHN PUTNAM Sprigg Township, Athens County

He is listed 00011001 00110001. Not really sure about this guy. Wonder if he is John Putman from Kentucky, son of Zachariah and Margaret Putman from Culpeper County Virginia. Or he could be out of the Washington County gang from New England.

JACOB POTTMAN Bridgeport, Belmont County

Listing is 00000001 1001001. Spelling being what it was then, I’m including this guy just in case. Belmont County is on the West Virginia (Virginia then) border. He’s in his late 50s, she in her 40s. They are not part of either German family from Pennsylvania and Maryland. If he is a Putman, he is probably Dutch.

ELIJAH PUTMAN Mad River Township, Champaign County

Southern Putmans. He is Zachariah and Nancy Putman's son, now in his 30s, his wife Matilda Kenton is in her 20s. Listing is 100011 20001. Elijah Putman was born August 11, 1799.

In about 1816 he took his family west and settled in Champaign County Ohio until 1842 when he moved to Mount Sterling, Brown County Illinois where several other of Zachariah's children had gone. Nancy died on August 23, 1853. He later married Eliza Jane Kendrick in about 1854. He remained there until he died July 24, 1880 and Eliza died February 16, 1878.

A cousin of his, Ernestus Putman (see below in Darke County), had written home tolling the beauty of Virginia and this probably satisfied Isaac's wanderlust. Just when he headed for the Virginia Hills, Ohio was opening and both he and Ernestus headed west. I find a marriage record of him marrying Charlotte Spillman in Clarke County Ohio on January 11, 1819. Clark was formed from Champaign County in 1818 and so he was probably living in the area at the time. I do not find him in the 1820, but in 1830 he is smack in the middle of all our Kentucky Putmans in Champaign County. They will be in Logan County by 1840.

JOHN PUTMAN Ohio Township, Clermont County

She is 77 born in Virginia and living with the family of George Grindler 39 born Germany and his wife Nancy 30, born in Kentucky. She might be the widow of John Putman, son of Henry Putman and Elizabeth Kenton, Southern Putmans. Nancy is probably her daughter. If I am right, her maiden name was Mary Long. Now don't get overly excited, she may well be the widow of Peter Putman of Hampshire County Virginia, German Putmans. Both families ventured into the County by way of daughters marrying and going there. Both had daughters named Nancy. I think she is Peter’s though.
