SWED and daughter Harriet 4 IL are there as is their son Forest 1 IL. They will
be in Campbell County Wyoming in 1920 and 1930. His middle name is Gordon. Best
I can figure is if you look at the 1880 Minnesota census entry for Henry Putnam
and Harriet Brown in McLeod County. You will see him listed as a grandson.
Henry only had one son, Gordon Winslow Putnam, who was also in that entry and
widowed. Harry would be his and his first wife Agnes O’Hogarty.
Gordon was by himself in 1870 too and they were all here in 1875. So he got
married around 1872 had Harry and the wife died before 1880. This has been

This is interesting as He also married Mattie Mae Jackson about 1905 in East
