Census Reports

1790 – 1840

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

 

UPDATED JANUARY 18, 2024

 

VERMONT 1790 CENSUS

 

In this census and for a while, I will not be listing these folks alphabetically, but will list them by County so it may be easier to determine family groupings as I try and sort these kinfolk out. Several families are indexed as Putman, but they are all Putnams out of Massachusetts, so I am listing them all as Putnam. When I can, I will identify these guys and use the numbering system Eben Putnam used in his books on the Putnam Family.

 

In the 1790 census, the columns in the report are for males over 16, males under 16 and females of all ages.

 

FREDERICK PUTNAM  Shaftsbury, Bennington County

The listing is 1-0-1. In 1800, he will be in Oneida County, New York with three children. According to the New York census in 1800, he will be living by Charles Putnam who is his father. That Charles is number 385 and his son Frederick is number 982.  He will marry Mary King and head west shortly. The line is Frederick > Charles > Eleazer > Eleazer > John > John. Frederick was born in Preston, Connecticut on August 20, 1763. His father Charles was born in Preston October 13, 1737 and died in Paris, New York in the 1830s. Charles married Martha Rose of Norwich, Connecticut May 27, 1762 and they all moved to Paris, Oneida County in New York.

 

EBENEZER PUTNAM  Middlesex, Chittenden County

The listing is 1-3-5. He is number 443. He was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire January 25, 1751/52, and will die in Middlesex in 1824. He married Hannah Russell back in New Hampshire. His parents were Ebenezer Putnam (number 184) of Billerica, Mass and Mary Parker. This senior Ebenezer was one of the first settlers in Charlestown, New Hampshire, arriving there in 1745. The line goes back from Ebenezer > Seth > Thomas > Thomas > John.

 

JACOB PUTNAM  Middlesex, Chittenden County

The listing is 1-0-0. He is number 451, and a son of Ebenezer and Mary Putnam. He was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire March 18, 1771. He will be marrying Mary ‘Polly’ Worth in about 1800-1801.

 

LEVI PUTNAM  Middlesex, Chittenden County

The listing is 1-2-1. He is number 445 and another one of the sons of Eben and Mary. He was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire February 11, 1757. He married Rebecca Holden in Charlestown on March 29, 1784. He was in the Battle at Ticonderoga in the Revolution.

 

SETH PUTNAM  Middlesex, Chittenden County

The listing is 1-2-4. He is number 444 and, of course, one of Ebenezer and Mary’s kids. He was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire on August 9, 1754. He married Dolly Holden in Charlestown. He too fought at Ticonderoga, and later with General Gates. He was the third settler in what is now Washington County. He came in the 1780s and will stay here.

 

ASA PUTNAM  Newbury, Orange County

The listing is 1-0-0. He is number 897 and a son of Tarrant and Mary Putnam. He is single now, but will be marrying Mary ‘Polly’ Fowler here in 1792. They will later move out to Brookfield, New York. Asa was born in Danvers, Massachusetts on December 28, 1763. He married Polly in Corinth, Orange County on January 2, 1792. Now, don’t get all excited on dates like this. They were probably married earlier, just that they got around to filing papers after the Court House re-opened after New Years Day. Asa’s line goes back Asa > Tarrant > Israel > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John. They will have two kids, Polly and Prudence, here in Vermont and then will have the rest over in New York.

 

EBENEZER PUTNAM  Montpelier, Orange County

The listing is 1-2-4. He may be Ebenezer Putnam 3rd, number 1095, a son of Ebenezer Putnam and Hannah Russell from Middlesex, Chittenden County, Vermont. The two towns are only about 5 miles apart. In 1800, they are both in Middlesex, Chittenden County. His father is number 443. For the line, see the listing for Ebenezer 2nd in Middlesex, Chittenden County, Vermont. This younger Eben married Abigail Lewis. Now I may be wrong and this is simply a dual listing for Eben 2nd as there seem to be just too many folks in this listing for Eben 3rd. In 1800, both do indeed appear in the same town.

 

ISRAEL PUTNAM  Newbury, Orange County

The listing is 1-0-1. He is number 896 and another of Tarrant’s sons. The listing should have one more female as he had two kids at this time. Anyway, Israel was born in Danvers on November 22, 1760. He married Susanna Heath in Corinth, Vermont in April 1788. His line goes back Israel > Tarrant > Israel > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John. He is Asa’s brother.

 

JOHN PUTNAM  Fairley, Orange County

The listing is 1-1-4. He is Number 792. He was born in Lyndeborough, New Hampshire in 1760 and died in Bradford, Orange County, Vermont on November 5, 1837. He married Olive Barron in Lyndeborough on November 30, 1783 and they moved here to Vermont in 1787. The young son is Jonathan Putnam born June 19, 1789. John’s folks were Ephraim Putnam, number 287, and Sarah Cram originally from Salem Village and then in Lyndeborough in the early 1740s. The line goes back from Ephraim> Nathaniel > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John.

She died in the 1770s, and about 1785 he married a cousin of hers, Eunice Porter of Wenham, Mass. He served in the Revolution, and afterwards moved briefly to Bakerstown, Maine and then about 1789 he moved his family here to Newbury. Tarrant’s parents were Israel Putnam (number 126) and Sarah Bacon of Salem Village and Bedford, Mass. The line goes back from Israel > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John.

 

ADONIJAH PUTNAM  Guilford, Windham County

The listing is 3-4-3. He is number 540 in Eben Putnam’s books. He was born in Sutton, Massachusetts October 6, 1744 and moved to Vermont before the Revolution. He married Mary Wilkins November 27, 1766, but I don’t know if it was in Massachusetts or Vermont. Adonijah’s folks were Jonathan Putnam (number 205) and Anne Chase of Sutton. The line goes back from Jonathan > Elisha > Edward >Thomas > John. The children under 16 are Lucy, Anna, Israel and Jared. The sons over 16 are Lemuel, Elihu, and Asa. Adonijah will die here in late 1791 or early 1792.

 

ASA PUTNAM  Brattleboro, Windham County

The listing is 2-4-2. He is number 718. He was born in Warren, Massachusetts August 10, 1742, and will die here September 7, 1795. He married Anna Collins in Brimfield, Mass. on July 24, 1766, and they moved to Brattleboro. After his death, Anna will marry Benjamin Simonds of Massachusetts in about 1800. The children listed here are Perley, Lewis, and Ebenezer over 16, and Josiah, Alfred, Sewell and Sylvia under 16. Asa’s folks are Josiah Putnam (number 260) and Lydia Wheeler of Warren. Josiah was born in Salem Village and died in Warren, Massachusetts. The line goes back from Josiah > Josiah > John > Nathaniel > John.

The listing is 1-1-6. He is number 788. He was born in Lyndeborough, New Hampshire September 21, 1750. He married a widow Rachel Putnam Carlton of Wilton, New Hampshire.

They will then move to Buffalo, New York and remain there until the mid 1820s. Rachel died there, and Jesse and his sons Daniel and Edson, moved a little south into Warren County, Pennsylvania. Jesse will die there on November 19, 1837. Jesse’s folks were Ephraim Putnam (number 287) and Sarah Cram. Ephraim was born in Salem and moved to Lyndeborough, New Hampshire where he married Sarah.

They lived there until 1757 and then moved to Harvard and then Winchendon, Mass in 1772. They moved here to Thomlinson in about 1783. Miles’ parents were Edward Putnam and Sarah Miles of Salem Village and Middleton, Mass. Edward is number 50. The line goes back from Edward to Edward > Thomas > John.

 

DANIEL PUTNAM  Thomlinson (Grafton), Windham County

After her death, he married Hannah Mitchell June 30, 1805. The children are Levi, Edward, Hannah, Luke and another daughter.

 

UZZIEL PUTNAM  Wardsborough South, Windham County

The listing is 1-2-3. He is number 753. Eben didn’t have a clear line going here. I have picked up the line through research of a descendant. Uzziel was christened November 8, 1761 in New Salem, Mass. He married Mary Trask in New Salem March 12, 1782. Shortly after the marriage they moved north to Wardsborough, Vermont. In 1796 they headed out to Oneida County, New York and then to Adams, Jefferson County, New York in 1807. In 1811 he and others built a boat and sailed down the lakes to Detroit. They then settled in Huron County, Ohio. In 1813 during the War, the Indians under British control captured Mary and a son Orlean and they were taken to Detroit for ransom, and returned later that summer. In 1816, the family moved to Sandusky, Ohio where he died in the winter of 1822 in a sleigh accident. The kids at this point said to heck with Ohio and some returned to New York and a couple others went to Michigan. Now, since Uzziel wasn’t married until 4 years before this census, it looks like another family is living with him, but I have no idea as to who they may be. The line goes back from Uzziel > Uzziel > Amos > John > Nathaniel > John.

 

EBENEZER PUTNAM  Bethel, Windsor County

This listing is 3-2-3. He is number 474. He was born in Sutton, Mass September 7, 1738 and died here in Bethel May 4, 1808. He married Hannah Dike in Sutton on January 16, 1766.

This listing is 1-3-2. This Thomas is Thomas Junior (452d) a son of Thomas Putnam (189) and Rachel Weatherbee. He was born in Lunenburg, Worcester County, Massachusetts on February 27, 1758. Eben had nothing on him. The family went to Charlestown, New Hampshire, and are there now. Thomas is married to Mary Young. They will be here in 1800, and then be in Charlestown, New Hampshire themselves by 1810.

 

 

VERMONT 1800 CENSUS

THOMAS PUTNAM  Ferrisburg, Addison County

The listing is 00011  0010. He may well be the son of Thomas Putnam and Susannah Stone. He would be the younger guy and they don’t have kids. The folks were in Bethel, Vermont in 1790 and in 1800.

Andrew was born in Sutton May 6, 1742. He married Lucy Parks of Sutton on January 10, 1764. They moved to Winchester briefly and then out to Greenfield, Mass. And now are up here in the heart of Maple Syrup Country. Whenever I go skiing at Burke Mountain, I go through St. Johnsbury and you can smell the syrup factories from miles away.

STEPHEN PUTNAM  St. Johnsbury, Caledonia County

Listing is 00110  50010.  He is number 1287 and another of Andrew’s sons. He was born in Greenfield, Mass. April 8, 1778 and died here in St. Johnsbury September 2, 1867.

He will remain there until he dies in January 1858. This line goes back Seth > Thomas 452d > Thomas 189 > Seth 49 > Thomas > Thomas > John Putnam.

 

ABEL PUTNAM  Guildhall, Essex County

Listing is 21010  20010. Guildhall is up north in the middle of nowhere along the Connecticut River and the New Hampshire border. He is number 457, a son of Thomas Putnam (189) and Rachel Wetherbee originally of Lunenburg, Massachusetts and now of Charlestown, New Hampshire. Abel was born in Charlestown on June 29, 1766. He married Polly Whipple. In 1800, he was in Charlestown, NH and was listed 11010-00100. In 1820, there is a George Putnam here in Guildhall who seems to be the same guy based of the ages of the children now and then, however in 1820 there are 2 males over 26 in the household. But Abel is not listed in 1820 either in Vermont or New Hampshire.  The George might be the brother of Seth Putnam also here in Essex County. Good Luck!

 

JONATHAN PUTNAM  Guildhall (Maidstone), Essex County

His son Joseph will be here in 1820 and on. There is also a record of a Reuben Putnam marrying Polly Downer here in Thetford July 27, 1818. This would be his son Reuben Junior.

He will serve in the Vermont Assembly and was a farmer. According to the 1850 census, his wife’s name is Triphena, but I have no idea as to her last name. This line goes back Elisha > William > Elisha > Elisha > Edward > Thomas > John Putnam.

 

LEVI PUTNAM  Whittingham, Windham County

Listing is 21101  32101. His wife is Hannah Allen. He is number 598, a son of Phineas and Lois Putnam of Sutton, Massachusetts. Lois is a Putnam by birth as well.

He was born in Charlestown on July 13, 1781 and died February 13, 1834. He married Elizabeth Dickey Hall in August 1801 while in Charlestown.

Listing is 21010  01110. He is number 470. He was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire on May 13, 1770 and he will die in September 1827. He married Anna Bailey March 5, 1795, and after her death married Jerusha Spencer also of Charleston. He will be in Weathersfield, Windsor County in 1820. Since both of his marriages were in New Hampshire, I assume he is currently married to Jerusha. The sons are Hiram born March 27, 1798, Guy June 11, 1800 and Joseph born in 1803. Bailey’s folks were Timothy Putnam (number 191) and Susanna Badger of Billerica, Mass. The line goes back from Timothy > Seth > Thomas > Thomas > John.

 

DAVID PUTNAM  Springfield, Windsor County

John was born in Charlestown on June 4, 1764, and will die in Montpelier, Vermont June 9, 1848. He married Catherine Case in Charlestown. She died a few years ago, and John has just married Peggy Glidden, widow of Moses Willard. John and Peggy were married in March of this year, 1810. They will move to Montpelier, Washington County, Vermont in about 1818 and be there for the 1820 census.

 

JONATHAN PUTNAM  West Windsor, Windsor County

Listing is 10011  00101. Jon and Lucy are still here. The eldest son here is Timothy, who will get the farm in 1826 when Jonathan dies (Lucy will die in 1825). There is a mistake in the male category. Joel would be 18 now and is still at home. There were no younger sons that I am aware of, so the ‘hash-mark’ is simply in the wrong column. The other female is Timothy’s wife Patty Gould.

 

THOMAS PUTNAM  Windsor, Windsor County

Listing is 11010  21010. This Thomas is only a distant cousin of all the Salem Mass. folks. He was born in ‘the north of England’. In the mid 1780s he and his older brother John came to America. One version has it that they were pressed into service in the Royal Navy, and jumped ship in America. This was well after the Revolution, so we were once again freely trading with England. The two went to Hartford, Connecticut where John remained and raised a large family. Thomas, on the other hand, headed up the Connecticut River Valley and settled here in Windsor County. He will die here on July 28, 1831 (this according to bible records). But I do not find him in 1820 or 1830 here in Windsor. Thomas married Rosamond Rounseval in Washington, New Hampshire on September 24, 1787. In the 1820 New Hampshire census, there is a Thomas Putnam and a younger John Putnam in Washington, Cheshire County, N.H. Must be him and his son John, but just not sure. Also I think he is the one in Delaware County, New York in 1830, where he probably died. Since this family is not descended from John Putnam of Salem, Eben assigns no numbers, and had very little information.

 

 

VERMONT 1820 CENSUS

 

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. Once again, I am listing by County in hopes of grouping these families.

 

JACOB PUTNAM  Manchester, Bennington County

The listing is 400110  10410. He is number 1882, a son of Jacob Putnam (768) and Abigail Burnap. He was born in Wilton, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire on October 4, 1771.

GIDEON PUTNAM  Cabot, Caledonia County

The listing is 000010  001101. Jeptha’s son has moved over from Marshfield. He is number 396, a son of Jeptha Putnam and Ruth Fuller of Sutton, Worcester County, Mass. He was born in Sutton in 1749 and married Abigail Holton. Abbie is widowed here by 1830.

The listing is 010010  03111. Andrew’s son has moved a few miles west. He was in St. Johnsbury in 1810.

 

ISAAC PUTNAM  Burlington, Chittenden County

The listing is 000022-10201 way over on the right indicating this is a black family. He was in Franklin County in 1810. The sons would be Thomas, Jacob, and another son who married the Violet who is widowed here in 1830.

 

GEORGE PUTNAM  Guildhall, Essex County

The listing is 011020  02100. This appears to be the same guy who was listed as Abel Putnam here in 1810. However now there are two guys in the 26-45 age range. One guess is that he is Abel Putnam’s (457), born in Charlestown, NH February 16, 1799. Possibly George is the son of Seth Putnam, and who was probably with his brother Seth (Jr.) in 1810. The listing is probably for Abel himself who was here in 1810. Abel’s son, John Whipple Putnam (1146) will be here through the 1850 census. In 1830 he will be listed as head of the household here in Lunenburg, Essex County indicating Able had died by that point. His mom is with him then.

 

ASA PUTNAM  Cambridge, Franklin County

The listing is 100010  00100. One of Thomas’ sons, grandson of Holyoke. He was born in Bethel, Vermont June 24, 1794 and will die in 1865. He was a farmer and served in the War of 1812. He married Elizabeth Gallup of Cambridge, Vermont on September 28, 1815. His oldest son Sabin has just been born. Sooner or later his children will be: Sabin, Mary, Calvin, Joseph, Curtis, Jane, Charles, Frank, Henry Harrison (everyone who served in the War of 1812 had a kid named Harrison).

 

DAVID PUTNAM  Georgia, Franklin County

The listing is 000102  01010.  A son of the up-coming Thomas. In fact, the other older male is dad himself. Mom, Susanna Stone has headed off to meet her fore-bearers in the sky. David’s wife is Lota Strait. Dave will die here in 1821.

 

LUTHER PUTNAM  Georgia, Franklin County

The listing is 210010  10020. Of course, he is another of Thomas and Susanna’s kids. Luther married first married Sally Batcheller January 10, 1811. She died and he has just married Rhoda Fullington here in Georgia (Vermont, not the Southern place) on May 7, 1820. The four kids shown here would be with Sally. The older gal might be his only sister, Lucretia.

 

THOMAS PUTNAM  Georgia, Franklin County

Since he is not in the index as he is living with his son David, there is no listing except we know he’s here. Based on the report, he is over 45 and his wife Susanna Stone has died since 1810. He’s number 481 in Eben’s book, a son of Holyoke number 192, but you knew that if you read the earlier year’s census reports here in Vermont.

 

JOHN PUTNAM JR.  Bradford, Orange County

The listing is 100010  00100. He is the son of the above listed John. He is number 1954. He was born in Fairley May 22, 1793. He married Mary Puckett here.

JOHN PUTNAM  East Fairley, Orange County

The listing is 000101  00101. This is John Sr., Ephraim’s son. His wife is Olive Barron. He’ll be here until he dies in 1837.

 

DANIEL PUTNAM  Newbury, Orange County

The listing is 000100  00101. He is Daniel Putnam jr. number 1834. His father died in 1802, the older woman is his mother Sarah Putnam. Daniel has just married Rebecca Carleton December 21, 1816.

 

JOEL PUTNAM  Newbury, Orange County

The listing is 000100  00101. He is number 1836, a son of Daniel and Sarah Putnam. He was born here July 28, 1896. Not certain of the older woman. Might be his mom, but it looks like she’s with his brother Dan. Maybe she hops around between the two making cookies and stuff for them.

 

WILLIAM W. PUTNAM  Randolph, Orange County

The listing is 000020  01010. He is William Witt Putnam number 1206 and a son of Ezra Putnam and Rebecca Dike. He was born in Bethel, Windsor County on August 30, 1796. He married Philena Buck on April 3, 1819. The other male is probably his twin brother Simeon who is not married yet, but will be by 1824.

CALEB PUTNAM  Calais, Washington County

Listing is 411210  00021. He’s number 1238, a son of Caleb Putnam of Croyden, New Hampshire. Don’t get him confused with the Caleb in Middlesex. Caleb was born February 28, 1799. He married Susannah Hayward of Croyden and they headed to Vermont in 1803. They will be here a while.

 

JOSEPH PUTNAM  Marshfield, Washington County

From what Eben had in his book, Joseph decided to retire from active farming, and left his farm to his son Gideon. Joseph then moved with his son Jacob here to Marshfield in 1819. Joseph operated not only his farm, but a saw mill and a grist mill.

 

JOSHUA PUTNAM  Marshfield, Washington County

Listing is 120010  11020. He is Ebenezer’s son. He is number 1195. He and Lucy Lathrop have moved up from Bethel. He used to operate a sawmill there, but decided to head north and go into farming.

 

JACOB PUTNAM JR.  Middlesex, Washington County

Listing is 120001  11101. Don’t know why he is listed as Jacob Jr. should be Sr., probably a typo of sorts in the old handwriting. He’s Ebenezer’s son. Been here forever.

 

RUSSELL PUTNAM  Middlesex, Washington County

Listing is 000001  03201. He is number 1098, a son of Ebenezer Putnam and Hannah Russell for whom he was named. He married Abigail Blaisdell April 17, 1803. He will soon (Feb 1821) finally get a son, Holden. This whole family will be off to Freeport, Stephenson County, Illinois. Only his son Holden will be listed there in 1850.

EBENEZER PUTNAM JR.  Montpelier, Washington County

The listing is 010010  10010. He’s been here a while and will be until he dies. He is Asa’s son, number 1724.

 

ASA PUTNAM  Grafton, Windham County

The listing is 000010  20100. This is Asa Putnam and his wife Rhoda Hildreth. Based on some Hildreth info, she will die here in 1827. I would guess Asa may have too, as I don’t find him in 1830. Our best guess is that Asa was a son of Thomas Putnam and Rachel Weatherbee from Charlestown, New Hampshire a few miles away across the Connecticut River border. They will have a son, Elbridge, in 1823. He was probably taken in by her folks who were from Vermont. He will appear in 1850, single in Dorset, Vermont. He will then marry and go to Cleveland. He is there in 1860 and will die there in 1866. His wife and kids will return to Deerfield, Mass. and be there in 1870.

ELIJAH PUTNAM  Grafton, Windham County

The listing is 000001  01001. He is number 1265, a son of Daniel Putnam and Dorcas Bond. Daniel was another of Miles’ children.

 

JOHN PUTNAM  Grafton, Windham County

The listing is 000030  00100. He is number 1270, a son of John (514) and Susannah Page. John was born in Grafton January 2, 1798. With him are his brother Asher, number 1271 and another male who may have been his cousin Daniel, number 1261, and a female, possibly a sister. None of these folks were married yet. The senior John had died in 1810.

 

WILLIAM PUTNAM  Grafton, Windham County

The listing is 000111  00101.  He is Daniel and Kezia’s son (number 705). He married Esther Hubbard back in Wilton, New Hampshire on October 25, 1810 and moved here with his family shortly thereafter. He’ll be here the rest of his life, as will Esther.

 

ASA PUTNAM  Guilford, Windham County

The listing is 200001  02010. He is number 1343, a son of Adonijah Putnam (540) and Mary Wilkins. He was born here in Guilford in about 1773. He married Nancy Wilcox here January 5, 1804. He has been here all his life. He’ll be here again in 1830 and then die about 1832.

 

JARED PUTNAM  Guilford, Windham County

The listing is 100010  01010. He is indexed as Jerre, but he is Adonijah’s son Jared, number 1348. He was born in Guilford in May 1788 and died in Brattleboro May 6, 1844. He married Elizabeth Reed, originally from Warren, Rhode Island, in 1809 here in Guilford. He is a farmer and a cooper. The children shown now are Augustus Wayne Putnam born May 7, 1815 and Nancy Reed Putnam born about 1811.

 

LEMUEL PUTNAM  Guilford, Windham County

The listing is 300110  11010. Number 1344. Adonijah’s son is still here. He is married to Tabitha Goodwin. Seems he will die here in the 1830s. The family doesn’t appear in 1840, probably with her folks, but the kids pop up in Brattleboro starting in 1850.

 

TARRANT PUTNAM  Halifax, Windham County

The listing is 011110  10200. This is a tricky one. I believe he is number 1733, a son of Josiah Putnam (721) and Sybil Smith of Warren, Massachusetts. If so, he was born there April 1, 1780 and will die here February 27, 1837. He married Nancy Shepard in Warren on June 4, 1818, and it looks like he headed straight on up here. His uncle Asa was in this neck of the woods since the 1770s. Now there are just too many kids here. His age is okay, Nancy’s also. But there is another gal in here in her mid 20s with her husband, who I would guess is Tarrant’s younger brother Henry (1738). Now both Henry and his wife Sophia Blair died in 1829 so that’s why they are not around in 1830. The next eldest male is Tarrant’s son Charles. Have no clues as to the youngest male. Now, come 1830, we will find Charles married and off on his own. Tarrant and Nancy will be here with their son, and some daughters. Obviously, Tarrant was married before, but Eben only lists Nancy. But to marry at age 38 was kinda strange in those days, and three of the children were born long before the 1818 wedding date. Of course, the 1818 date may not be correct. Just do not know.

He married Lydia Gould here on September 8, 1814. The son shown here is Abel Junior. Check out the rest of the kids in the 1850 census. Abel and young Abel live side by side then.

Sally was a daughter of Israel Putnam and Sally Eppes. She died in 1811, and Ezra then married Hannah Granger on June 13, 1813. They were in Danvers in 1810, and will be here in 1830, and then head to Wells County, Indiana. In 1837, there was an epidemic that killed four of his sons. Ezra said to heck with that, and returned to Cavendish for the 1840. See, if you didn’t know that you would think he was here all along. This line is Ezra > Phineas > Stephen > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John.

LEWIS PUTNAM  Colchester, Chittenden County

The listing is 101100001  0110001. He’s in his 60s. I have never come across him in a census before. However, his eldest son, Stephen, was born in Canada in 1815, so that’s obviously where he has been prior to coming south of the border which is only about 50 miles from here. In 1840 he will be living with his son Stephen in Burlington. There were a bunch of Patenaudes from Quebec. We think this Lewis or Louis is one who had his name ‘Anglicized’ to Putnam.

It seems Abel, who was here in 1810 and 1820, has died and the folks here are his mother and his siblings. The older woman would be his mother who is in her 50s. The second guy here might be the William who was right across the Connecticut River in Lancaster, Coos County, New Hampshire in 1820. Not sure who he was. John will be marrying Clarissa Moore here in Lunenberg in 1834. She died in 1838, and he will marry Ellen D. Horne August 5, 1845 in New Hampshire. I don’t find him in either NH or VT in 1840, but in 1850 he and Ellen are right here. He will die in the 1850s, and Ellen will remarry and be here in 1860.

He is Holden Putnam, number 1105, a son of Seth Putnam (444) and Dolly Holden of Charlestown, New Hampshire. Eben states Holden was in Middlesex in 1835. He’ll be here in 1850 and 1860 and until he dies in 1867 at age 56. There were two Holdens here in Middlesex.

He’ll become a dentist and spend all his life here in town. When he dies on November 7, 1895, he was the oldest dentist in Vermont.

 

E. F. (EBENEZER FOX) PUTNAM  Brattleboro, Windham County

Listing is 100101  00011. He is here in 1850 and in 1860 again just uses his initials. He is Ebenezer’s son. His dad (number 1724) was a son of Asa Putnam and Ann Collins. Eben would have been born here.

 

EBER PUTNAM  Brattleboro, Windham County

Listing is 000210001  00011102. Ebenezer is Asa and Anna’s son and has been here a bunch of years. He is now almost 61. Okay, we got a bunch of guys all living next to each other, or at least very close. I am guessing that some of the following folks shown here belong to Ebenezer, but I have never been able to determine his family. In 1830 he only showed two sons, now three, so they can’t all be his. Folks listed near Eben are A. D., E. F., J., J. L., J. G. That’s five families. But, the J. Putnam is his brother Josiah, so some of the kids are his. According to Eben Putnam’s notes, this Eben had two children.

 

J. (JOSIAH) PUTNAM  Brattleboro, Windham County

Listing is 00101001  01002001. Another son of Asa Putnam and Anna Collins. His wife is Susan Ann Dickerson or Dickerman. He is Eben’s brother.

 

J. L. (JOHN LOCKE) PUTNAM  Brattleboro, Windham County

Listing is 001001  101001. He is indexed as J. S. but it is J. L. He is Josiah’s son. He was born November 25, 1804 while the family was in New York. He married Phoebe Towne November 5, 1826. He’ll be here in 1850, and then move over to Cheshire County, New Hampshire.

Listing is 00002  000011. His name is listed as James in the 1860 census, and Jonas in 1870. His wife is Cynthia Daniels. He should be a son of Lemuel Putnam (1344) of Guilford. The other older guy would be his brother Edwin. They are all here in 1850 and 1860.

 

ASHER PUTNAM  Grafton, Windham County

Listing is 0010001  0000001. He is number 1271. He’s a son of John Putnam and Susanna Page of Grafton. He was born here in Grafton on October 5, 1799. He married Abbie Davis here on March 8, 1824. She died September 22, 1827. He then married another Davis girl, Betsy Davis, who was from a different Davis family. They were married June 12, 1834, so she’s the gal here now. He only had one child, the son shown, and by Abbie. He was John Henry Putnam born on January 27, 1827.

 

DAVID L. PUTNAM  Grafton, Windham County

Listing is 000001  000000001. He’s in his 30s, his mom in her 60s. He is number 2818, a son of Levi Putnam and Elisa Case. He was born here in Grafton March 1, 1807. I don’t think he ever married. David became a lawyer and then a Judge of Probate by 1838. Then something went amiss and he became a ‘town charge’ until his death in the 1850s or so. His dad, Levi (number 1261) was a son of Edward Putnam and Hannah Mastick from Sutton, Mass. Levi never appeared in the census returns as he was still at home in 1800, married Eliza in 1804, and then headed to Louisiana a year or two later. He went to Natchetaches with his brother in law David Case. Levi died there October 6, 1808. His son Lucius died there in 1821. After that, mom and Dave headed back to Grafton where they now are.

 

EDWARD PUTNAM  Grafton, Windham County

Listing is 00000000001  00000000001. Here forever. Edward and Hannah are now in their 80s and just relaxing.

 

JOHN PUTNAM  Grafton, Windham County

The listing is 1210001  001001. He is number 1270, a son of John Putnam and Susannah Page. He was born here in 1798 and will be here till he dies in 1853.

CLARK (ALEXANDER CLARK) PUTNAM  Guilford, Windham County

Listing is 010001  0121001. He might be number 1515, a son of Isaac Putnam (628) and Polly Chamberlain of Cornish, New Hampshire. He was born there January 26, 1794. In 1830, they were in Saco, York County, Maine, then headed over here. He married Buelah Barber back in New Hampshire on March 6, 1820. But Eben said he died in December 1830, might be wrong though. Probably a better choice is number 2157, a son of Bartholomew Putnam (911) and Hannah Sibley of Sutton, Mass. Age is better on that Clark as he was born in 1806. Clark (#2157) will marry Louisa Hicks in 1844 in Massachusetts, and be in Worcester in 1850 and onwards. Right now, there are some kids that are not in the Mass. 1850. Maybe they all died or something, or there was a divorce. Just don’t know.

 

JARED PUTNAM  Guilford, Windham County

Listing is 01000001  01001. Looks like his wife Elizabeth has died in the last few years. There are two new ones in the 5-10 age bracket, so she must have died very recently. He is Adonijah’s son. Jared will die here himself on May 6, 1844.

 

JOHN PUTNAM  Guilford, Windham County

Listing is 00001  001. He is Asa’s son. He was born here in Guilford on March 10, 1812. He is a son of Asa Putnam (1343) and Nancy Wilcox. Asa died here in 1831 or 1832 and I think Nancy has died by now too. Looks like John attached himself to his Uncle Jared; they now live along side each other. He’s in his 20s and his wife Lurissa still in her early teens.

 

CHARLES PUTNAM  Halifax, Windham County

Listing is 100001  111001. Charles and Polly Peebles are both in their 30s. They were here in 1830. Polly will die here in 1843, and Charles will marry Mercy Warner in 1844. He is most likely Tarrant’s son.

They lived in Whittingham until 1834, and then moved to Wilmington for eleven months and then in 1835 moved to Somerset. They will be in Jamaica, Windham County in 1850 and in Stratton in 1860 and finally to Wardsboro, Windham County where they will remain. His father Levi died in 1830-31, and the older woman is his mother Hannah. Hannah will be around in 1850 and will die on May 16, 1853, and be returned to Whittingham to be buried alongside Levi.

 

LEVI PUTNAM  Wardsboro, Windham County

Listing is 201001  020001. He is Levi and Hannah’s son and has just moved over from Whittingham where his dad died several years ago. Levi junior was born in Whittingham, Windham County on January 23, 1801. His wife is named Phebe Prouty.

LEWIS PUTNAM  Whittingham, Windham County

Listing is 0002001  002001. He is number 916, a son of Bartholomew Putnam (347) and his first wife Mary Putnam. He was born in Sutton, Mass. July 15, 1796. In 1850 he will be in Somerville, Mass., and from 1860 on in Cambridge where he will practice medicine. He will die there in 1888.

The female same age as his wife Lucinda is his sister Mary Putnam. Don’t know who the other gal in her 80s is. Maybe Cindy’s mom. They have been here a while, and will be in 1850.

 

MARY PUTNAM  Andover, Windsor County

Listing is 0000000  000000001001. I do believe this is Mary Baker, widow of John Putnam (702) of Chester. John died September 9, 1838. Mary was born in 1847, which would indeed place her in her 90s now. The gal in her 60s is probably a daughter who also outlived her husband. Mary seems to have pretty good genes. There is also a chance she might be Mary Nichols, widow of Archelaus Putnam, Junior. Coin toss.

 

HIRAM PUTNAM  Barnard, Windsor County

She is Hannah’s sister, Sarah Granger. Now, in case you forgot. Ezra took his family to Wells County, Indiana in 1834 and lost 3 of his five sons in an epidemic there in 1837. After that mess the remaining folks came right back here. One of the surviving sons, Franklin lives near by. His daughters had all married before the Ohio trip. That leaves only Newton unaccounted for here. Newton and his wife Elmira Baldwin remained in Chester, Wells County, Indiana and are there in the 1840-1850-1860 censuses.
