NEBRASKA 1870 CENSUS

 

CHARLES PUTMAN  Ponca, Dixon County

Charles Franklin is listed as 34 VT, a farmer.  His wife, Isabel Lacy, is 23 IA. Their son, Isaac, is 8 months NE.  Also in the household are four Carnell male children: E. H. 12 IA, W.C. 11 IA, P. W. 9 IA, and O. H. 5 IA. An entry in FTW states he was born in Cavendish, Vermont, but no reference to his folks. I hit on a descendent who said his full name was Charles Franklin Putnam. Bingo. In 1840 Franklin Putnam of Cavendish, Windsor County Vermont had a 5 year old son. In 1850 he was gone from the state. The descendent stated Charles moved to Massachusetts in 1845 and to Nebraska in 1854. Perfect. She also remembers the name Ezra popping up which was his grandfather’s name. Look in the Vermont Section to find out all about Ezra, and his sons including Franklin. This line goes back Charles > Franklin > Ezra > Phineas > Stephen > Benjamin > Nathaniel > John.

They were in Wabasha County Minnesota in 1860 and here by 1870. His line goes back Thomas > Gilbert > Andrew > Andrew > Elisha > Elisha > Edward > Thomas > John Putnam.

CHARLES PUTNAM  Falls City, Richardson County

Charles is listed as 30 OH (IN), a farmer.  His wife, Sarah Lancaster, is 27 OH. The children at home are: Franklin 8 IA (really IN), William 6 IA (really MI), and Charles 3 months IA (really NE).

The problem is that that Henry was married to a different wife with other kids in 1870 in Bloomer Prairie, Chippewa County Wisconsin. Only the age seems right here.
