SOUTH CAROLINA
South
Carolina was originally combined with North Carolina until 1729 and until 1732 it
also contained what is now Georgia. It became the Eighth State in the Union in
1788. In 1790 the state was divided into nine Districts and in 1795 and again in 1798, these were divided into 24
Districts. These Districts became Counties in 1868 when South Carolina was
re-admitted to the
Union
after the Civil War ended.

complete information on the various families appearing in the South Carolina
Census can be found the South Carolina Section in the Southern Putman Section

about 1745, and married Sarah there in 1765. With them are six sons and five
daughters. He will be here in the Warrior’s Creek region until he dies in
December 1821. Listing is 2-5-6. His line is Daniel > Zachariah II >
Zachariah I > Thomas > Thomas > Thomas.

He is
Thomas Putman's son born back in Essex County Virginia and is listed with his
wife Sarah and 2 sons (Thomas and Ezekiel) and 4 daughters. They came down from
North Carolina in the early 1770s. He will go with his sons to Kentucky and die

will die there July 19, 1816. He is my ggg
grandfather.
THOMAS PUTMAN Pendleton District
This
is Barnet and John's father. There are just he and his wife with a listing of
1-0-1. Thomas was a son of Zachariah Putman I, and was born in Essex County
Virginia in about 1720. I think his wife is Elizabeth Barnet, but I have no
proof whatsoever except that the Barnets and the
Putmans lived together in Virginia and the Carolinas. He moved into North
Carolina and bought lands in Granville County in 1754. He and his sons Barnet
and John came to the old Craven County in South Carolina in the early 1770s.
Elizabeth will die here in this decade, and Thomas will be widowed here in
1800. He is my ggggg grandfather. The line is Thomas

is James and Joice Putman. James is the eldest son of
Zachariah II from Virginia. He was born in Culpeper County Virginia in 1743. He

North Carolina in the later 1760s. He will be here in the Union District until
he dies in December of 1811. Joice will be around
till 1815. Listing is 3-4-3. Same line as his brother Daniel.
JOHN PUTMAN Union District
This

Orange or Culpeper County. He married Sarah Howard here in the Union District
right after serving in the Revolution. Her family was from the Union District,
and the reason he moved down from the old Ninety-Six District where his dad and
brother were living. He will be here
until he dies December 1, 1820. They are listed as 2-3-6. He is Barnet’s
brother and has the same lineage.
WILLIAM PUTMAN Union District
William
and his wife Mary Mitchell were just married and there are no children. He is a
son of James and Joice Putman. He was born in
Virginia April 10, 1766. I think his full name is William Abner Putman, as he
uses the middle initial of ‘A’ on several deed transactions. He’ll be around
till he dies in Laurens County in May of 1816. Mary will be here September
1838. The listing is 1-0-1. Same line as his daddy James. William > James
> Zachariah II > Zachariah I > Thomas > Thomas > Thomas.

and Sarah are both well over 45 and there are four at home. I have nothing on
the daughters, but the son would be Thomas who will be getting married shortly.

Dan
is Barnet's son and my relative. He and his wife Prudence Skelton are both in
the 26-45 age range. At home are Lavinia and Hazael,

about. 41110 10010. This is my line through their son Reding.

and his wife were just married. Both are in the 16-26 age bracket with no
children. The listing is 00100 00100. He will be in Union County in 1810, and
then in Williamson County Tennessee in 1818. He is very elusive, and I have

Daniel
Putman and Sarah Kendrick's eldest son, William, is now shown over 45 and Dulcy Watkins is not listed, though she is alive and is in
the 1820 census and as his widow in the 1830 census. Problem is that the top
corner of the page is torn off. Anyway the listing is

Historian in 1963), and remained in Union County as did her son Zadock. Her other son Bazel moved
to Bedford County Tennessee in the 1830s and in 1840 had an older woman with

JOHN PUTMAN York County
Benjamin
and Elizabeth's son has dropped down from Rutherford County in North Carolina a

Lucy Covington, and they will soon be off to Alabama. You can find out more
about him in the North Carolina Putman Section. Listing is 10100 20200. Again,
not certain who the extra older girl is and the two ‘extra’ kids are. I think
they belong to his brother Thomas who will be here in 1820. He is also listed
back in Rutherford County as 00100 10100.

County SC. Now in 1868 his part of Pickens County became Oconee County. He
didn’t move. Where he lives is near Anderson County and next to Habersham
County Georgia. Back in 1810 Jesse Putman left South Carolina and went to
Franklin County Georgia, and then to Habersham County Georgia, and then on to
Tennessee. He was accompanied to Franklin County by a James Putman. I believe
this was James Junior, and both were sons of James and Joice
Putman from Union County. A family record has James Hamilton as a son of James
Putman and Mary Hale. I figure this is his line.
