He is 49 GA with a wife Charlotte 48 TN, and they have 2 nieces with them; Betty Jane 13 TN and Nancy Mae 1 TN. The name is spelled Puttman on the census and Ancestry has him as a Pittman. But he is really Paul David Putman. He was here with his folks John Morgan Putman and Delia Jane Martin in 1920, and then with his widowed mom here in 1930 and 1940.

JOHN C. (CARLYLE) PUTMAN District 12, Crockett County

He is 25 TN, his wife Helen 22 TN and they have twins Victoria and Michael 2 TN. Can’t find him earlier anywhere on the planet, nor can Ancestry or Google. Gotta be a spelling mistake, and he is not a Putnam or Putman.

It is interesting that Velma was born a day after Christmas when Santa had instructions to bring her down the chimney with him on Christmas nights. It was snowing and raining on Christmas Night and Santa felt it was better to wait a day and then drop her off at the hospital here in town. I got this from a notebook Santa left at the local bar one night by mistake.

This is a line out of Rutherford County North Carolina. The spelling of the name looks like Putnam to me, but is indexed as Patuem.

JAMES C. (CLEMMIE) PUTMAN Davidson County

This is going to be an interesting affair. Anyway, he is 36 TN (no it is AL), his wife Flossie Phelps is 35 TN and they have Juanita 12 TN and Craig 3 TN. The gap here is because he was in the Army playing around in WWII. Also here is Flossie’s mother Lillie Phelps 67 TN and her brother Erskin Phelps 45 TN. I searched 1930 and 1940 for a James C. Putman to no luck. I tried searching for Flossie back in 1940 as they had a daughter 2 then. BINGO. I found her but she was married to a Clemmie guy born in Tennessee about 1914, and no luck. Since I knew Flossie’s last name, I searched on Ancestry found her and got a WWII draft card for James Clemmie Putman born in Huntsville, Alabama April 3, 1914. Wow. I looked in my Alabama 1930 census, and sure enough he was in Athens, Limestone County Alabama with his widowed mother Mary Lee Hill who had been married to William George Putman from Athens who was killed in an accidental explosion while working on highway construction in 1929. And he was listed as Clemmie 16 AL in the 1930 like he was in 1940 and born right there and not in Tennessee.
