NEW YORK
Census Reports
==============================
These listing are by County, Township, and then by page listings to show proximity.
She is 19 CDN living in what looks like factory housing. There should be a JOSEPH PUTNAM around town somewhere. He was from Canada, and was here in Cohoes in 1850 and will be in the 1880 census. Probably connected.
He is 27 NY, Catherine 21 NY. He is a farm manager. He would probably be the Augustus in Troy in 1850.
She is 2 NY and in a Juvenile Retreat, orphanage I would guess.
Susan is 23 NY, James 18 NY and Mary E. 20 NY. They live with S. M. and Maria Smith. Go back to the 1855 here and get the whole story. They are kids of Henry Putman and Ellen Mitchel from Amsterdam, Montgomery County. Henry died in the 1840s and Ellen or Eleanor married Peter Veeder and they were in Amsterdam in 1850 and here in Albany in 1855. In 1865 they are starting to get married here. Mary is married to Patrick Clifford here in Albany in 1865. In 1870 they are all out in Disney Land riding all the scary things and singing ‘Home Sweet Home’ for a Hollywood Video Film group, and having the times of their lives.
Jeannette Angus is the widow of David Putnam (553) She has been widowed here since 1832. Several of the kids are still about. David was a son of Stephen Putnam and Mary Gibbs of Sutton, Massachusetts. He came here in the early 1790s with his brother Elisha. Jennette was from here in Albany.

Morgan 60 NY. Now, James married Nancy Sickles who would be 44 now. Maybe the Mary listed is her, but Mary may be new, and the older gal her mother. The gap between 1850 and 1855 of kids is probably when it happened (if it did). There was another son, Frank, born in 1857 and died in 1858. But in 1870, his wife is once again Nancy. And in 1870 Mary Morgan is still here. Just not certain at all.

He is a son of Archelaus and Deborah. He is 28 NY and lives with his brother Aaron and a bunch of kids. He also gets another listing shortly.
He is 24 NY and also lives with his brother Aaron, probably as a baby sitter. They live next door to his father Archelaus, probably on part of the original farm. Israel will die April 5, 1863 as a result of injuries in the Civil War.
He’s been here now most of his life and will be here until he dies April 15, 1862. He’s now 72 NH, and still a farmer, Deborah Kimball is 63 NY. Their youngest son Lyman 22 NY is still at home. He will soon marry Esther Hanson and they are here in 1870 on.
He is 27 NY and works on the farm of Curtis and Angeline Beardsley. Angeline 33 NY is his sister. They are children of Archelaus Putnam and Deborah Kimball.
He is a Protestant Episcopal minister 45 VT, Julia Throckmorton, his wife, is 40 NJ. He is a son of William Putnam and Lydia Parker. He was born in Woodstock, Vermont just prior to the family moving to Leominster, Massachusetts on August 22, 1813. In 1850, he was single and living in South Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey. He married Julia Ann Throckmorton in Freehold, Monmouth County on October 5, 1853. In 1870, he will be in Jersey City, New Jersey. At that time Julia is missing, and it looks like he is married to a woman named Addah from Jamaica, West Indies and has a son William. I believe William was a son of him and Julia. He was listed as white. Also, Fernando is a grandson of Archelaus Putnam and Martha Hawkins just like all the other kids around here are. Fernando’s dad was a brother of the senior Archelaus here in Clinton County.
He is 20 NY (MA) working on a farm. He is a son of the upcoming Isaac Putnam.
He is 17 NY (MA) working on another farm. He is a son of Henry Putnam and Eliza Goodrich of Hinsdale, Berkshire County, Mass. He was home there in 1850. Henry Putnam is number 2250, a son of John Putnam (977) and Philena Curtis.
He is 18 NY (MA) on yet another farm. Isaac Warren is a son of the next guy, Isaac.
He is 52 MA, Charlotte 39 MA. Isaac is from Becket, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Isaac was born there, a son of David Putnam and Hannah Chaffee, and a grandson of Isaac Putnam number 226. In 1850 he was still married to Lucinda Church. She must have died, as Charlotte is new.
She is 20 NY and boarding. She was living with Philip Putnam in Truxton in 1850. Wasn’t sure if she was a daughter or granddaughter.
Number 2349 and was here in 1850. He is now 52 NY, Jennette (Cleveland) 47 NY, Mary 22 NY, Caroline 20 NY, Samuel 18 NY and Cleveland (John Cleveland) 5 NY.
She is Amy Clark, second wife and now widow of Calvin Putnam (1851) who was here in Truxton in 1850. She is 63 MA and her stepdaughter Susan 20 NY. She is here in 1865 and 1870, she will die here July 10, 1875.
He is 21 NY and works on a Clark farm. I don’t find any 10-12 year old kids in 1850 here in New York. But, in 1850 Abraham Vedder Putman, from Montgomery County, was in Lee County, Iowa and had a son Cornelius listed 13 NY then. Then the family disappeared by 1860. Very possibly the folks died or something and Cornelius returned to New York.
He is a son of Calvin and Amy Putnam. He has taken over his dad’s farm after he died here in 1857. He is now 32 NY, Philinda Pierce, his wife, 31 NY, Freddie 3 NY. He was born in this house April 5, 1828 and will die right here April 10, 1896.

He is a lawyer 40 NY, Stella Cornelia Shaw his wife 35 MA, Wheeler S. 18 VA (actually GA) and Jennie Laura 6 NY. Gideon is a son of Benjamin Risley Putnam and Eunice Morgan. He was born in Saratoga, New York on April 2, 1815. Gideon is number 2973 in Eben's book and Benjamin is number 1381. The line goes back from Gideon > Benjamin > Gideon > Stephen > Elisha > Edward > Thomas > John Putnam. He was in Warren County, Georgia in the 1840 and 1850 census, and returned here about 1851. Gideon and Stella are here in 1865, then Gideon will be by himself and in Lawrence County, Indiana in 1870 and 1880, still practicing law. His son Wheeler is also listed in Lawrence County, Indiana in 1860 and in Effingham County, Illinois in 1870 and in St. Clair County, Illinois in 1880. There must have been a split or divorce or something. I don’t find Stella in 1870, but she is in Saratoga Springs with her daughter in 1880. She lists herself then as Mrs. Gideon Putnam, but Gideon is still out in Indiana by himself then.
She is Mary Ann Flood, the widow of William Putnam, and they were in Alden, Erie County in 1850. She is now 45 NH, William 22 NY, James 16 NY, Adeline 14 NY, a son J. (John) J. 9 NY and an O.

She is 87 VT and is living with Sam and Sarah (47 NY) Bowen. She was living here with them in 1850 and 1855. Martha ‘Matty’ Putnam is the widow of Timothy Putnam and was last seen in 1810 in Paris, Oneida County with Tim in 1810. He died soon after that and she was probably with her daughter Sarah as she is now. Sarah is married to Samuel Wheeler Bower.

He is listed 31 SC, his wife Rosina is 22 Bavaria. They have Matilda 2 NY. Her parents, the Burn family live next door. He’s not in the 1850 South Carolina census, and probably not a Putnam or even born in South Carolina.
He is 41 NY a porter with the railroad, Sarah 31 NY, Frances A. 10 NY, Harriet A. 8 NY, Loretta 4 NY. Also here is a Thomas Tate, shoemaker, 19 NY. Caleb was here in 1850, and will be in 1870 too. He is a son of Peter Putnam number 2442.
This is a strange listing and is headed by L. J. Barton 53 ME. Emma is 64 NY and her daughter Emma S. is 22 OH. They however are listed as Bartons too. But they fit the family of P. F. Putnam who was here in 1850 and had L. F. Barton here as a border then. Think this is just a recording error. Emma will be in Tomkins County in 1870 still widowed and be using the Putnam name then. And at that time Joseph Bordon will be there too. In 1850 Joseph was boarding with the Putnams and took Emma out to Tompkins County when he moved.
He is a boat maker 30 NY (PA), and his wife Elizabeth O’Brien is 30 born in Ireland (actually England, folks were from Ireland though). In 1870 he gives his birthplace as PA, which is correct. He is a son of Joseph Putnam and Mary Russell of North East Township, Granville County, Pennsylvania. He will be here in 1870 and 1880.
He is 40 NY a machinist, and is in a hotel
He is 17 NY, a timekeeper, and is boarding. He looks to be the son of James Osborne Putnam and Harriet Palmer. He is also listed at home back in Pomfret, Chautauqua County. His dad was postmaster here in Buffalo. He’ll be married in New York City in the 1900 census. Can’t find him in the 1880 Soundex.
He is a sailor 46 NY, Ellen Leary 36 IRE, John 15 NY, Ellen 13 NY, and William 11 NY. They were not here in the 1850 anywhere. In 1840 though, they were here and just married.

Putnam and Sarah Maria Southwick, and probably a grandson of Asaph Putnam. He was with his divorced mother and stepfather Asa Crum here in 1850. The IGI says he was married in Crown Point in one listing. They are in Jackson County Iowa in 1870. By 1880 they seem to have broken up. Julia is still there in 1880 but no John. He does show up in 1885 in Tama County Iowa with a new wife Mary. The son Frank is in Winneshiek County Iowa in 1880 through 1900 when his widowed mother shows up there.
He was missing in 1850, but obviously was still here. He is a son of Asa Putnam and Polly Fowler. His mom just died in 1858. Hiram is now 62 NY, Ruhama Marshall, his wife, 58 NY, Elbert or Albert 22 NY a clerk. Also there is Mary Meschorn 36 NY and her son Frederick 10 NY. She would be Hiram’s daughter. There is also a Mary Ann Morton 18 NY, and I have no idea who she is. Ruhama will be widowed here by 1870.

There were two Philip Putmans living in Canajoharie, Montgomery County in the 1820 Census. George Philip should be a son of one of them. Almost certainly a member of the Dutch family.
HENRY PUTMAN Schuyler, Herkimer County
He is 50 NY and works on the Beidenbecker farm. I can’t find a good connection in the 1850. He’ll still be here with them in 1870. He is living with his brother-in-law Daniel J. Bridenbecker 35 Born in Herkimer County and his married sister Maria Bridenbecker 35 Born in Montgomery County. Henry has been living here for 20 years. An online tree says that Maria (Putman) Bridenbecker was the daughter of William Putman and Harriet Conyne. William and Harriet had a son named Hendrick (or Henry) born on 31 March 1813 in Glen, Montgomery County. Looks like a match. If this is correct then this line goes Henry W. > William > Hendrick > Cornelius > Victor > Jan. Dutch family.
Garret’s son is still here, gave the line in 1850. He is 45 NY a farmer, Laurie 39 NY, Julius 18 NY, Cornelia 16 NY, and Adolphus 5 NY. Laura will be widowed here in 1865 and 1875.

Brocklin. Amy is his second wife. Garret and Amy will be here in 1865 but they
will be living apart. Not sure if they separated or Amy wasn't able to take
care of Garrett anymore. In any case this line goes Garret > Derrick >
Lodowyck > Arent > Jan. Dutch famil

He is 25 NY, Elizabeth Force his wife is 24 NY, Carrie 3 NY and Charles W. 1 NY. They have some boarders. He is a son of John and Elmira Putnam, grandson of John Putnam (1741) and Elizabeth Carlton. He was in Greece, New York with his mother Elmira or Almira in the 1855 state census. They are all in Wayne County Michigan by 1870.
The families here are about all Dutch, descended from Johannes Putman (originally Poutman or Pootman) of Albany, unless I specify something else. Most all the middle names indicate who their father was. This tradition goes back to the European roots. Most all the lineages were given back in 1850 when we could first see names and ages and all.
He is sort of John jr., son of John Derrick Putman and Anna Van Alstyne. He is 48 NY born Johnstown, Almira Briggs 44 NY, Sarah Jane 18 NY, Deborah Maria 13 NY, John Delevan 9 NY, and twins Marcus John and Martha Almira 6 NY. The kids are all born in Amsterdam.
He is 33 NY, Margaret Waller 35 NY, Marietta 3 NY and Garret James 9/12 NY. Douw is a son of Garret Victor Putman and Mary Hanson. He was born in Amsterdam February 8, 1817, and married Margaret February 28, 1855. Heլl be here until he dies in 1899.

His father died here on March 18, 1854. It doesn’t look like any of these three brothers are ever going to get married.
She is Hannah Lepper, now the widow of Francis Jacob Putman who died here February 7, 1857. She is now 73 NY, her kids Jacob 52 NY, Elizabeth 50 NY, Mary Ann 48 NY, Jane 46 NY. Also here is Mary E. Putman 18 NY.
He was born here, a son of John Arent Putman. He will die here March 29, 1866. He is now 57 NY, Catalina Van Buren is 56 NY. At home still are Calista 24 NY and Arthur 15 NY. Catalina is widowed with their son James and then married daughter Calista in Albany in 1870. She will die March 6, 1872.
She is Rachel Kline, widow of Teunis Putman who died in 1850. Teunis was another son of John Arent Putman. Rachel is 60 NY, Maria 40 NY and Cornelia 18 NY. She lives next door to his other son James. In fact, starting with James, the next seven listings are all next door to each other right in a row. Probably all taking a part of John’s original farm.
She is 3 NY and lives with David and Elizabeth Wooden or Worden. Some connection here to Old John. They are surrounded by Putmans.
He is a son of the earlier listed James and Catalina. He is a shoemaker and is now 34 NY, Deborah Ann Putman (daughter of Garret Victor Putman) is 34 NY, Garret 9 NY, Richard 6 NY, Charles E. 3 NY, and Marcus H. 1.
Might as well include this family, as they sandwiched between a bunch of Putmans. William is a son of Peter Kline and Alida Putman. Alida was yet another child of John Arent Putman.
He is now 43 NY, Elizabeth Cooper 43 NY, Ira 18 NY, Calista (Frances in 1850) 16 NY, Nancy 13 NY, Amelia 10 NY, and Sarah 7 NY. Wilson is a son of Peter Victor Putman and Mary Lepper.

There is Jane Van Antwerp 33 NY and her daughter Margaret 10 NY. Jane is probably their sister. This is the last of the zillion families all in a row.
He is a dry goods merchant, born in Glen. He is 28 NY, Maria Catherine ‘Kate’ 27 NY and they have a Margaret Locheny 14 NY with them. Kate may be a Locheny, not sure. Effingham is a son of Cornelius H. Putman and Gazena Mabie of Glen. He was still there at home in 1850. They will be here in 1880, she will be widowed here in 1900.
She is 74 NY and lives with Henry and Deborah (41 NY) Van Ness. Nancy is Anna Nancy Van Alstyne, widow of John Derrick Putman who died here in 1846. Deborah is her daughter. She married Henry here. Nancy will hang around a while more till she dies in 1872.

He is 26 NY, Margaret 26 NY, Charlotte 1 NY and Clifford 4/12 NY. Also here is Lany Hostader 30 NY. He looks to be the son of Philip Putman and Elizabeth Kring as shown at home in 1850 in Palatine. BUT, in 1870, he and the next listed Archibald are both still living next to each other in Johnstown, Fulton County. They may well be brothers, or at least somewhat closely related. Actually if I am right, both of their parents came from Palatine, Montgomery County.
He is a son of Lodowyck (Lewis) Victor and Mary Schenk of Root. He is now 42 NY, Julia Ann England 37 NY, Aaron 11 NY, Morgan 10 NY, Clark 6 NY and Mary E. 4 NY. They were in Root in 1850, and will be in Johnstown, Fulton County in 1865 and 1870.

He is now 64 NY, Mary Hanson 63 NY. Then there are his son John 30 NY, Catalina 32 NY, Richard Davis 30 NY and Theodore 5/12 NY. He is a son of Victor J. Putman, see the 1850 listing for the line. Now, Catalina is their daughter and is married to Richard Davis. She is listed as Putman, but seems the census taker must have just put her as the daughter. A descendant knows she married Richard in the late 1850s and will die soon in the later 1860s. Richard is widowed here in 1870.
He is now 37 NY, Charlotte Serviss 40 NY, Adda (Adaline) 11 NY and a son Delano or Delvino (turns out as Adelbert in 1870) 7 NY. He is Vischer junior, and was born here. They will be in Amsterdam in 1870.

Then there is their son John junior 22 NY. Kinda out of order, but eventually makes sense. Kids will be here in 1870 in their own house. He is a son of Lewis Putman and Mary Schenk. He was born here March 5, 1802. He first married Margaret Green who died July 23, 1829 and then married Mary later that year.
