Iowa
was a sort of orphan for decades. The Indians held it past 1800 then it became
part of the Indiana Territory from 1803 through 1821, then part of Missouri,
Michigan and Wisconsin Territories. Finally in 1838 it became a territory unto
itself and in 1846 became the 29th State.
The
first Federal Census took place in 1840. In the 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.

shortly in 1864, and Henry will marry Elizabeth Beaudette
back in Canada in 1865 and then be back here in Lyons County Iowa with her by
the 1880 census. I changed the ages as Henry was born April 18, 1830 in St.
Johns, Quebec just across the border from Vermont. Henry was born with the name
Patenaude, and was listed as Henry Putnode in
Westford, Chittenden County Vermont in 1850. Rose was living two houses away at

County Virginia of an Eva Smith marrying a Joseph Putman in 1868 (1848?).
Joseph was a son of Thomas Putman and Mary Hoback.
This came from the LDS/IGI. If Hoback and Hornback
were the same family then there must be some connection here. On the other
hand, I have no idea who Thomas Putman was so that is no help here either. Good
Luck.

Spake, his wife, 26 OH George 3/12 IA. His father
Daniel B. (Baldwin) Putnam 70 VT is with them. His wife Sarah Margaret Curran

with his father to Ohio, and then back to Michigan where his first wife Louise

BARNARD PUTTMAN (PUETTMANN) Washington Township, Winneshiek
County
He is
a master mason, 80, born in Prussia. Quick note, Germany didn't become Germany
as such till into the late 19th Century. Before that it was a series of
separate feudal states. Prussia was one, Bavaria another, and so on. He is
rooming with several other, younger, Prussians. I think this might be the
father of the following Barnard. They were in Racine County Wisconsin in 1850
and the dad went by the name John then though.

I
have looked twice and cannot find such a listing on the indexed page. At any
rate, he would be Gideon's son who was here in 1850 and 1860. He is listed also
with his parents, so this seems to be a dual listing, or he was carried over
onto the next page. But it is William.

her sister. They were all here in 1869. The gals are daughters of Daniel Putnam

like Phil might have a lisp or stutter a bit. He was born in Root, Montgomery
County New York, and never married. He is a son of Abraham Putman and Hannah
Osborne from Tribes Hill, Montgomery County New York. Dutch family.
THERESE PUTMAN Davenport, Scott County
She
is 17 NY and a servant to James and Ann Calverwell of
England. I have guessed her folks are Charles and Mary Putnam here in town.
There are nine other kids in that household, and Therese would be the eldest
(if she was part of that family) and had to get out of that zoo and on her own.
POLLY PUTMAN Otter Township, Warren County
She
is 17 IN, a servant with Lewis Igo, a stock dealer.
This is probably a dual listing for the following Rufus Putnam’s daughter
Polly.
RUFUS PUTNAM Richland Township, Warren County
He is
James Rufus Putnam, son of Howard and was in Dubuque County in 1850 and 1860.
He is 47 IN, Alice (his second wife) is 26 IA. In 1850 and 1860 he was married
to Cynthia Ann Bradley, and she has died. He then married Rosina Alice Eastman.
Note the gap between James and Cynthia. He must have remarried about 1863 or
1864. Anyway the kids are: Polly 18 IA, Asa 16 IA, Sarah 14 IA, James 11 IA, Cynthia
5 IA, Charles 3 IA and Mary 1 IA. They will add four more in the next ten
years.

He is
26 NY and a farm hand.
ELIJAH PUTMAN Douglas, Webster County
The
son of Hannah and Mr. Putman (big help there). That's what it says in the IGI.
The logical choice here would be that he is a son of William R. Putman and
Hannah Waters of Clinton County Michigan. In 1850 they had an Eliza the right
age and a John who was the same age as the John living here. At any rate,
Elijah is listed as 29 MI, a farm hand.
His wife, Nancy, is 28 MI. His wife Nancy died October 18, 1875. In
1880, Elijah is back in Shiawassee County Michigan with a second wife, Delia.
Iowa was cruel to him it seems. Also in the household are: John Putman 27 MI, a
farm hand, and I assume a brother, and Hiram Volkne
27 NY, and his wife, Mary, 23 NY. Mary is probably his sister.

15, 1817 and will die in Postville, Clayton County Iowa April 29, 1911. Malachi
was from Winchester, Massachusetts. This line goes John > Malachi >
Andrew > Elisha > Elisha > Edward > Thomas > John.

33 PRUSSIA and a janitor. Probably glad to not be working in the Camps. He
would be a son of Bernard Puttmann from Prussia who
