In 1810 the only Putmans in Virginia were in Fauquier County (Southern English), Hampshire County (German), John Putnam in Bath County (New England English), and Ernestus Putman from New York in Jefferson County (Dutch).

ARCHIE PUTNAM  Yellow Creek, Columbiana County

Archibald is a son of Isaac Putnam and Mary Ann Brawley (Vermont folk that were here in 1850). He is 37 MD (should be OH), a carpenter living with his brother James who for some reason is listed as Obediah.

 

OBEDIAH (JAMES HERBERT) PUTNAM  Yellow Creek Township, Columbiana County

In 1850 he was listed James H. Putman. The Obediah must be a clerical error. He is a son of Isaac Putnam born in Portage County Ohio. He is now 41 OH, Mary Cunningham 34 PA, Rufus 15 OH, Thomas 11 OH, Archie 8 OH, Mary A. 5 OH, John 2 OH. Also there are his brother Archie 37 MD (should be OH) and Mary Cunningham 65 PA who is Mary's mother. Mary is a widow here in 1870.

ADALINE PUTNAM  Cleveland Cuyahoga County

She is new here. She is 36 MA a bookbinder living with John Grannis. She was single in Boston, Massachusetts in 1850. Rand thinks she looks like Eunice Adaline Putnam, daughter of Ebenezer and Betsey Webb from Danvers, Massachusetts.

 

ELBRIDGE PUTNAM  Cleveland, Cuyahoga County

He is a railroad conductor listed 35 NY, Emily Adeline Melandy his wife is 30 VT. Also there is also here A. H. Kennedy, a female 28 VT. Emily and a bunch of kids will be in Deerfield, Mass. in the 1870 census. There is a record of an Elbridge being born in Deerfield in 1823 (Probably on the death record which was in Deerfield), but no parents listed. There was a note on Ancestry that his parents were Asa Putnam and Rhoda Hildrith. Asa was a son of Thomas Putnam (#189) and Rachel Weatherbee of Acworth New Hampshire. Emily was listed here as VA, but I corrected it to VT. Elbridge wasn’t born in NY, but in MA based on the info in the 1880. He was listed in 1850 as single in Bennington, Vermont. According to his wife’s family records he died here in 1866, and that’s why Emily returned to Massachusetts. She will die there in 1895.

HENRY PUTNAN  Cleveland, Cuyahoga County

Another new arrival. He is 30 NY living with Lucius Pitkin. I think this is Henry Locke Putnam from Madison County New York. At least that guy will be here in 1870 and onwards.

 

RANSOM PUTNAM  Warrensville Township, Cuyahoga County

She is a daughter of Judge William Martin Wilson and Louisa Dosey. The rest of this listing is in this order: Anna G. Brice Putnam, his mother, 52 PA, James Franklin his brother 20 OH, William Davis his brother 18 OH, Louisa 1 month old and probably Edwin's daughter, Metella Putnam18 OH. I have no idea who Metella, a female Putnam, is. She might be a wife of one of the brothers, or just a niece or cousin of sorts. Edwin will die here April 11, 1868.

 

WILLIAM PUTNAM  German Township, Darke County

He is 19 OH and must be William Davis Putnam son of Franklin and Anna Putnam. He is also listed with his brother Edwin and the rest of his family. This has to be a double listing.

 

LEWIS PUTMAN  Sandusky Township, Erie County

He is a son of Jacob Putman and Hannah Lewis from Cayuga County New York. Dutch family. He is 29 NY and a brakeman on the railroad. His wife Caroline Burnham 28 NY and Jennie 5 NY.

MATILDA PUTMAN  Columbus, Franklin County

He was here in 1830 through 1850. He is 68 PA, Susan 62 PA, Mary 40 PA, Louisa 29 PA, Samuel 12 OH and Laura Lynch a servant 19 OH. Now, Mary and Samuel were not with this family in 1850. In 1850 there was a Samuel Skidd age 2 OH living next door with his father Samuel. I just bet Peter took him in and Mary was his mother and their names are actually Skidd. There were no sons shown in the 1850 for Peter, but he did have them in 1840 so maybe Mary is a daughter in law and Sam her kid. Just don’t know. He is a son of John Putman and Sarah Schneider of Frederick County Maryland and then Somerset County Pennsylvania. John was a son of Andrew and Catherine Putman German family from Maryland via Pennsylvania.

 

ANTHONY PUTTMAN  Cincinnati, Hamilton County

(Clementine) 12 OH, and Albert B. 10 OH. Calvin died in Hancock County in 1859 and is buried here. She is listed as farm manager so it sees she is on her own. She will be here Widowed through the 1880. According to the Grave Marker ( https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/51395237 )  she’ll die here in 1904.

EMANUEL PUTMAN  Dublin Township, Mercer County

There are going to be two listings here. In this one he heads his family, has his mother and brothers with him. Then you will see later a listing for Jane Putman and all this mob again. In the census, the listings are two page apart, but are same family, but ages are a little off. I guess they moved to a new house and listed at both. Anyway, this listing shows him 28 PA, Eliza 23 OH, Cynthia 1 OH, William J. 10 OH (no idea who he is), Lizzie or Eliza Jane his mother 60 PA, and then his brothers William 30 PA and Philip 26 PA. The 10 year old William does not show up in the listing under Jane Putman. In 1880, Emanuel is listed as Daniel. I believe Emanuel to be correct. And I don’t know who his dad was. They just popped up here in 1850. At any rate, Emanuel will marry Elizabeth Roebuck here on October 21, 1858. He is widowed here with more kids in 1870.

This is that dual listing I mentioned earlier under her son Emanuel. Eliza Jane is 60 PA, William 28 PA, Philip 25 PA, Emanuel 26 OH and his wife Eliza 20 OH and their daughter Cynthia 1 OH. She appears with these kids as a widow in 1850, and I have no idea who her husband was and what line they are on. They are mostly here in 1870 and 1880. The son William will be married in Adams County Indiana in 1880.

 

DANIEL PUTMAN  Bethel Township, Miami County

ISAIAH PUTMAN  Mansfield Township, Richland County

He is 32 ENG, Eliza 32 ENG, George 14 ENG, Henry 12 ENG, Emily 9 OH, Frederick 7 OH, Thomas 6 OH, Kate 4 OH and Ellen 2 OH. Now, many people born in Canada were listed as ENG, so I would guess they came down from Ontario as opposed to sailing over the briny and leaping straight out to Ohio.

 

ALFRED PUTMAN  Concord Township, Ross County

He is 26 OH, Rebecca Jane Day 25 OH, Marcellus (Maurice) 4 OH. Also there is Lucy Hewitt 82 VA. Possibly she is Rebecca's mom who remarried. German folks.

Some 13 people were killed when he drove his train in front of another one at a Switch Station. He was accused of manslaughter. They said his watch did not keep correct time and that he was “way too young to run the most difficult leg of the train route.” He wasn’t taken to trial and I guess he was banished out here. He is living with his brother Harrison Putnam. He is a son of Jasper Wheeler Putnam (3105) and Mary Kimball. He was born in Grafton, Mass. April 14, 1828. He married Caroline Elizabeth Crocker of Portland, Maine February 6, 1849. He and the rest of the family are also listed in Grafton, Massachusetts.

DOUGLAS PUTNAM  Harmar Township, Washington County

Son of David Putnam and Elizabeth Perkins. He is a land agent 54 OH. That's all in the listing. I guess his second wife, Eliza Tucker, has died. But he had a bunch of kids that are nowhere to be found in the area. He is also listed in Marietta, and again by himself.

He is 58 MA (shoemaker), Essey 28 IRE and Samuel J. 1 OH. He is the son of James Putnam and Betsey Richardson, New England family. They are here in 1870. The tricky part is that the son Samuel J.

FREDERICK C. PUTNAM  Springfield W1, Clark County

He is 24 MA, a carpenter living in the Murray House Hotel. Looks like the son of James Pope Putnam and Abby Upton from Fitchburg, Massachusetts. His dad was a lumber dealer and maybe that’s what he’s doing here. That Frederick is not in Massachusetts now.

He is unemployed and is 52 MA, his wife Jennie is 44 MA. They live with David 54 NH and Elizabeth 49 MA Gerrish. Samuel Patrick Putnam is a son of Samuel Putnam (1758, son of Jacob Putnam 740) and Mary Patrick from New Salem, Massachusetts. Elizabeth is Sam’s sister. I next fid Sam and Jennie in Philadelphia in the 1870. Idle note. I went to Prep School with a couple of Gerrish kids from Greenwich, CT and also from Woodstock, NH. The family ran a Chevy dealership in Woodstock. Just a passing note.

 

ARCHIBALD PUTNAM  Wellsville, Columbiana County

Isaac and Mary Ann’s son is still here, and is still living with his brother James’ family, but now James is dead and gone. All these kids here belong to James and his widow, Mary Cunningham. I am sure he did not marry Mary after his brother’s death. In 1880 he is still here, but Mary gets the main listing in that census, and he is just a ‘boarder.’ Anyway, Archie is 45 OH a carpenter, Mary (Cunningham) 38 PA, Rufus 23 OH, a carpenter, Thomas 20 OH, Archibald 18 OH, a railroad brakeman, Mary Ann 14 OH, John 10 OH and Alice 9 OH.

HENRY PUTNAM  Cleveland W5, Cuyahoga County

He is an iron molder, 38 NY, Laura 29 MI and Alice 10 IL. This looks to be a dual listing for the Henry in Lake County. And they look like the family in Cincinnati in 1880 listed as A. C., Laura and Alice Putnam. Ages and birthplaces fit.

 

DANIEL PUTNAM  East Cleveland, Cuyahoga County

He is 47 NH a gardener (retired), Emily Peavey, his wife, is 43 NH. Also there is Ann Peavy 69 NH (Emily’s mother), and a servant from Canada West, Mary E. Brewer 16.

He will die here January 3, 1872 and Nancy will be around, possibly remarried as she won’t die till January 2, 1898 in East Cleveland. Matt sees that Eben and Rhoda Putnam of Kirkland, Oneida County New York had a son Sylvester the right age and this may be him.

 

CHARLES PUTMAN  Newburgh Township, Cuyahoga County

He is a farmer 45 NY, and has Hattie 20 NY, James 11 OH and Alice Wright 18 OH as a servant. Okay, work your way back to 1860 and then 1850 when he was also here. He is Charles Ransom Putnam, a New Englander. Very confusing. The 1860 Census was off. James wasn’t included and Alice Wright was listed as George Wright in 1860. His wife Abbie Johnson died here November 11, 1852, and he has been widowed since then. Ransom was born March 12, 1815 and will be here till he dies here August 21, 1890. This line goes back Charles R. > Charles (986) > Charles 385 and Martha Rose of Preston, Conn. > Eleazer > Eleazer > John > John Putnam.

 

WILLIAM PUTMAN  Warrensville, Cuyahoga County

He is 29 OH, his wife Rhoda Burgess his wife 25 OH and Charles 4 OH. He married Rhoda Burgess here on December 2, 1864. William Henry is a son of the above Charles Ransom Putnam and Abbie Johnson.
