Census Reports

1836 – 1900

==========

 

UPDATED MAY 26, 2024

 

There was a territorial census taken in 1836, 1840 and 1846. The 1840 listed the family by age and sex groups, as opposed to the 1836 and 1846, which simply list the heads of households. From 1850 on, we get the Federal reports, which list everyone (if they are properly indexed).

I find him in 1860 in Winneshiek County, Iowa and then again in 1900 at age 73. Based on an article in a German Newspaper in Iowa.  The family came over here in 1845 from Westphalia, Germany. Barnard was born in Dorsten Westphalia on January 9, 1828. He came with his parents to Wisconsin in April 1845. He will marry Sybilla Timp here on April 27, 1852.

I have a guess here. He married Sarah in Knox County, Illinois on July 12, 1837. I think Edwin is the eldest son of Thomas Putnam and Hannah Huntington of Covington, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Eben states he has no further record, but we do know his brother Samuel Morris Putnam came to Minnesota as a government surveyor in the 1850s and died here in 1857. Several others of his children moved out to northern Illinois. I’ll go out on a limb and say Edwin is indeed Tom’s kid.  Edwin then would be number 2452 and Thomas is number 1091 in Eben’s book. The line goes Edwin > Thomas > Elijah > Samuel > Thomas > Thomas > Thomas > John.

He is 32 NY, Harriet 38 OH, Henrietta 10 OH, Catherine 8 OH, Jane G. 6 OH, Samuel E. 4 OH and John 2 OH. I can’t locate them in Ohio in 1840, but it is possible they were living with his folks at the time. He is listed as being an innkeeper.

He is 38 NS (Nova Scotia), Rosianna 27 NS, Lydia 9 NS, Martha 7 NS, Prescott 5 NS and William 2 WI. He is a shoemaker. The next John is his brother. Best we can figure, they are from the Pugwash Harbor area in Nova Scotia. There are three other non-Putnam families here all from the same town in Canada. The best bet, based on Jane Wile’s book on Nova Scotia Putnams, is that these are children of William Putnam, Jr. and Eleanor Henry. That line goes back William (2419) > William (1077) > Caleb (417) > Caleb (162) > John (32) > John > John Putnam.
