No idea as to his folks yet. BUT, hang on when I was doing the 1940 Census, I finally figured who he was. In doing a search I found an 1860 entry for Eugene Pritman 1 year old in Aurora, Kane County Illinois. His folks were Stephen and Eliza Pritman from New York. He had two brothers and two sisters. I had tracked back to 1900 and couldn’t find him and hunted around Illinois with no luck. But I tried NY in 1870 and 1880 and found Stephen Putman and Elizabeth Alida Eavershine in Mohawk, Montgomery County New York with Eugene and a brother and a sister who were all in Aurora in 1860. Steve was running a saloon there and I guess decided he liked New York beers better so came back here once the Civil War started I guess. So I have just entered the 1860 IL that I never knew existed before under the right spelling of Stephen Putman. Then Stephen was a son of Peter Derrick Putman and Maria Eacher from Ephratah, Fulton County. They were in Mohawk in 1870 and then Steve just disappeared and Eliza was widowed there with the kids in 1880. He didn’t die till 1889 so no idea where he was in 1880. I still can’t find Eugene in 1900, but he is alive and well now in 1910 and will be through 1930.
