NEW YORK

State Census 1865

===============

 

UPDATED AS OF FEBRUARY 25, 2024

 

 

NEW YORK 1865 STATE CENSUS

 

Matt Putnam is starting up again and now on the NY 1865 and hopefully will continue right up to the present in another 50 or so years. Nice thing about the New York State Censuses is that for native New Yorkers they give the name of the County they were born in. But like in the 1890, several county’s returns were lost. There are no records we can find for St. Lawrence, Westchester and Wyoming Counties at all. There also were no Putnams or Putmans listed for Clinton, Delaware and Franklin Counties, but I don’t there were any there anyway. Matt with a tiny help from me, wrapped up this 1865. He ran out of things to do and started this headcount March 28, 2021 and wrapped the critter up February 25, 2022. Thank Ya Lad.

Ida is 3 Born in Allegany County and is living with her stepfather Rozell Butterfield 26 Born in Allegany County and her mother Amanda Butterfield 21 Born in Allegany County.

Putnam who served in the Michigan Infantry and was killed in the Civil War. His widow was listed as Amanda M. Putnam. Note that there was an Orin D. Putman living here in 1855 who was the son of Barney Putman. Ida might be the daughter of Orin D. Putman. That would mean that Oren married Amanda, moved to Michigan, got killed in the war and then his widow and daughter moved back to her hometown of Hume where Amanda married Mr. Butterfield. Seems to make sense but it’s just a guess.

PUTNAMS & PUTMANS  Clinton County

There are no families listed in 1865, but there were 6-7 families listed in Clinton in 1860 and 1870 mostly in Peru. Guess they didn’t take one here or it got lost when it was to be placed on the 1865. Oh well.

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 will be by himself and in Lawrence County, Indiana in 1870 and 1880, still practicing law. There must have been a split or divorce or something. I don’t find Stella in 1870, but she is in Saratoga Springs, where she was born, with her daughter Laura in 1880.

She is 28 Born in Fulton County and has a son David 8 IL. Don’t find them earlier. She is listed as a widow and the mother of three children, only one of which is still living.

There were two Philip Putmans living in Canajoharie, Montgomery County in the 1820 Census and no clue to wives’ names. George Philip should be a son of one of them.
