Census Reports
===============
This is
the first census that lists the folks by name, age, and the state they were born
in. Not always that easy to identify them, but now we know the characters. This
listing will be by county. Once again, if possible, I will give the number that
Eben Putnam assigned. This census was pretty much put
together by Rand Putnam of California, who sorted it out and assigned the
numbers where possible. Many thanks, Rand.
He is
45 MA, Sally 50 MA and Joel 48 MA. They are boarding with an O. S. Winfield 49
MA. These three are unwed children of Joel and Sally Putnam who were here from
the early 1800. Joel was probably a son of Isaac Putnam (226) and Rachel Pratt
originally from Sutton. Ransom was born June 15, 1805, Sally March 10, 1800 and
Joel December 10, 1803. In 1860, all three will be in the ‘Poor House’ here.
He is

and Warren (Isaac Warren) 5 MA. He is a son of David and Hannah, and a grandson
of Isaac Putnam (226) and Rachel Pratt. He was born here. He married Lucinda
here on April 8, 1834. They will be just across the border in Columbia County,
New York in the 1860 census. By 1870, he’ll be back here living with his son
Warren and be widowed. By 1880 he will have a new wife and be in nearby
Sandisfield, Berkshire County.

was married to Hannah Church who died here July 3, 1849.
He is

gives his name as William and also his place of birth as Connecticut in those
years. He was born in New Haven Connecticut, and is here through 1880 and will
die in 1882. His death record indicates he was born in New Haven and his
parents were William B. and Lorinda Putnam. William B. was the son of John Putnam
and Hannah Dillings from Hartford Connecticut. This
is part of the ‘Other’ family from Yorkshire England that came to Connecticut
in the late 1700s. Rand Putnam found the death certificate and was able to then
figure the line. Nice work Rand.

Boardman September 1, 1824, who died September 8, 1837. The kids down to Sarah
are hers. He then married Eliza Goodrich June 6, 1838, the rest are hers. Eliza
will die September 6, 1856. Henry will be here in the 1860, but will die
himself February 16, 1863.

Jonathan.

daughter of Daniel Weaver and Joanna Preston. He was in Bethel, Vermont in

church fired him in Springfield in 1834. Hmmm.
BENJAMIN

He is 32 MA a laborer. He lives
with several other people. He should be number 2378, a son of Benjamin Putnam
(1058) and Dorothy Park of Waltham, and Medford before that. He is married in

He is indexed as Aaron 40 NC a
cabinet maker, Margaret 38 NC. They will be here in 1860, but he will be listed
as Allen 50 NH, and she as Martha 48 NH. Know that guy. So this listing should
read Allen 40 NH, Martha (Foss) 38 NH. Allen is a son of Gideon Putnam (1877)
and Sarah Barnes of Alstead, Cheshire County, NH. He was born there August 3,
1809. He married Martha Foss in Reading August 2, 1835 and were there in the

the 1880 census. Charles will be in Minnesota in the 1860.

Joshua Putnam (748) and Betsy Baker. He was born in New Salem, May 9, 1807, and
went with the family to Houlton, Maine in about 1812. There he married Climena Stanley and raised the family. Guess the winters

boot maker, Julian A. 16 ME, Charles R. 13 ME, Sarah E. 9 ME, James E. 7 ME and

He is a son of John Putnam and
Sabrina Wiley and a grandson of Joseph Putnam number 1870. He is a carpenter 27
NH, his daughter Lucy is 7 MA, Alfred F. (Warren in later reports) 3 MA. Also
there is a Warren F. Putnam (?) 78 MA. What I think is this is just sloppy
recording. The son Alfred is 7 and Warren 3 and the Lucy is Lucy Harris 27 MA.
These ages would tie in perfectly in 1860. Anyway, Perry had married Clarissa
Maria Brocklebank on November 25, 1841 in Ipswich.

found a birth record that Newell was a son of Asa Putnam (1708) and Eunice
Smith. His widowed dad is in nearby Stow now. I don’t ever find that family,
but they would be around here someplace. His dad Asa’s folks were from here in
Stow and Sudbury before that. I would guess that the Caroline Smith here was
probably married to one of his mom’s brothers. He will be in Townsend, Mass. in
1860 and married to Sarah Ann Troke. He was born in
Lunenburg, Worcester County March 29, 1829 and will die in Townsend on December

New Salem, Mass. before heading off to Maine with a bunch of families. Franklin
will be in Minneapolis, Minnesota by 1870. Lucien and Joseph Robie Putnam are sons of Sterne Putnam (#1804) and Hannah
Townsend of Houlton. Lucien was born there February 21, 1829 and will shortly

Sidney are in Providence, Rhode Island in 1860 and 1880. The whole family was
in New York City in 1870 and he was murdered there on April 28, 1871 at age 44.
Also Rand found a reference that he had a brother Austin G. Putnam. We now
figure that he and Austin were sons of Ebenezer Putnam (1503) and Tryphena Bassett from Holden, Worcester County.

He is John Franklin Putnam
number 2030, a son of Stephen Putnam (846) of Wilton, New Hampshire. He is 32

in 1860.
EDWIN
M. PUTNAM Boston 3, Suffolk County
He is 40 MA, a bookkeeper. He is
boarding with a Lane family from New Hampshire. The age is off by 6 years, but
he would seem to be Edwin Mason number 2913, a son of Mason Putnam 1326 who is
a bookbinder here in Boston. He will be living here with the Lane family in
1860, and then lists his age as 38 and he will still be with them in 1880 at
age 64 at that point, which is finally accurate as he was born in 1816.

and then Boston. Ephraim was married to Esther Pearson back in New Hampshire,
and married Rachel here in Massachusetts around 1820-21.
CHARLES
PUTNAM Chelsea, Suffolk County
He is 30 MA, an editor. He is
living with James and Rachel Greene (50 MA) of Mass. My guess is that he to is
one of Ephraim’s sons and that this Rachel is Rachel Stoddard, his mother, who
has remarried.

40 NH, a trader, Lydia Gould Bruce 34 MA, Henrietta Adelaide 12 MA, Catherine
Louisa. 11 MA. They were married in 1834, and were listed in Gloucester in

NH. They live with Israel and Mary Knight of Massachusetts.
JOEL
M. PUTNAM Athol, Worcester County
He is listed 20 MA, Sheldon (?)
23 MA, Mary A. 19 MA. Hard to read. He is a son of Bela Putnam according to the
Athol VR, the others are probably siblings. But, if
you look back, you’ll see we have no idea who Bela is. He will be here through
1870.
PHOEBE
A. PUTNAM Athol, Worcester County
She is 14 MA, Warren F. (?) 52
MA. They are with Albert (31 MA) and Sarah (28 MA) Simonds. Again, probably

a daughter of Amos Putnam and Sarah Swift. Eben had
her as married to Benjamin Edwards, but on her death certificate here in Auburn
on February 4, 1851 it says she was a ‘maiden.’ So maybe she was never married
or she dumped Ben and pretended she was never married. Rebecca is Polly’s
sister and she was born February 16, 1767 and will die here December 29, 1854. Martha Livermore is also
Polly’s sister and was married to Silas Livermore who died in 1820 out in

He is in Chicago now in 1850 with a new wife Mary McWilliams who he married out
there August 1, 1849. He’ll dump her and then marry Minerva Brock in Tazwell
County Illinois November 3, 1855. At any rate Samuel Porter was a son of Samuel
