They were here in 1930 and in nearby Dalton in 1920. His marriage record has his parents are William and Marjorie (Bartlett) and that he was born in Boston about 1894.  He has three draft records which reveal his birth date is 6 Apr 1893.  One draft record has his birth in Boston and the other two say Fitchburg. Alice Porter was a daughter of William and Rose Porter of Dalton. She was born in Cheshire December 28, 1892 and will die here in Pittsfield in 1976. Then I find a sheet for Alice that states William was abandoned as an infant at a Catholic Church and the Nuns there gave him his name. So he more than likely isn’ta Putnam at all.
