Genealogy

Putnam/Putman is an anglicization adopted by decendants of three European families: the de Puttenham family of Puttenham, Hertfordshire, UK, the Boutemont/Putman family of Germany, and the Poutman/Putman family of Holland. (Bill Putman has more information on this on his site.)

What we know with certainty is that we are descended from Philip Putman, or Putnam, who was born June 17, 1779, in Lassellsville, Montgomery County, New York and died May 14, 1872 in Point Peninsula, New York. He married Lucretia Noble on 1802 in Palatine, New York.

According to his War of 1812 records, he married Lucretia Noble in 1802 in Palatine, New York. They raised their family in the Mohawk Valley and moved to the Town of Lyme (Jefferson County), New York about 1835. Philip served in the War of 1812 as a private in Captain Snell's Company from Palatine, New York. In September of 1814, his company rendezvoused at the Palatine Church and marched from there to Sackets Harbor, New York (130 miles and 6 days). Philip was paid at the rate of $8 per month of service. He received a pension of $8 per month and his total pay amounted to $18.06 for 2 montyhs and 8 days of service. He received a pension of $8 per month for the last few years of his life. Philip also received some bounty land (which he disposed of).

Philip and his family were living in the Town of Oppenheim for the 1825 census. The family was comprised of 6 males and 3 females. Lassellsville (Town of Ephratah) is very near the Town of Oppenheim.

Philip and Lucretia settled in the Town of Lyme near the Putnam School House in 1835. Lucretia Noble was born about 1783 in Oppenheim, New York. There is an outside possibility that Philip may have been married more than once. According to baptismal records, Lucretia Noble was the mother of Nancy and Aaron. Philip Putman and wife Jane were the parents of John Putnam (b. 1813) and baptized at the Reformed Dutch Church at Fort Plain, Town of Minden. Eli Putnam's parents were listed as Philip Putman and wife, Christiana. Jacob Putnam's parents are listed as Philip Putman and Christiana Nobels. Probably Lucretia and Christiana were the same person, or maybe they were sisters. "Jane Houk" was the wife of Philip V. Putnam who lived in the same area as our "Philip Putnam." Both Philips had sons named John and both served in the War of 1812. More About Philip Putnam: Burial: Putnam Cemetery, Point Peninsula, New York.

More About Philip Putnam and Lucretia Noble: Marriage: 1802, Palatine, New York.

Children of Philip Putnam and Lucretia Noble are:

Aaron Putnam, b. March 28, 1823, Lassellsville, New York, d. February 17, 1898, Lyme, New York.
Dorothy Putnam, b. 1805, d. April 26, 1852, Point Peninsula, New York.
Sarah Ann Putnam, b. 1808, d. December 08, 1886.
Levi Putnam, b. 1811. Adelia Putnam, b. 1813.
John Putnam, b. December 11, 1813.
Eli Putnam, b. April 29, 1815.
Jacob Putnam, b. 1818, d. February 02, 1901.
Nancy Putnam, b. July 28, 1820, d. 1855.
Lucretia Putnam, b. 1827.

We've never determined the names of Philip's parents. Several sources have pointed to Aaron Putnam and Delia Fox as his parents, but the records of Aaron and Delia show that they only had two female children. Also, Aaron Putnam and Delia Fox were married a year after Philip was born, which makes it extremely unlikely that he is their progeny. So Philip's parentage remains a mystery. There are two possibilities: that Philip came from the Dutch line of Montgomery County Putnams, or that he came from a British line of Putnams in the same area. Below is research along both lines.

If We Are Dutch
_________________________

The Dutch Putman/Putnams of Montgomery Co. were decendants of Johannes "Jan" Poutman or Pootman or Potman, who was born in 1645 in Leydon, the Netherlands. (More information on the Dutch Putmans.) Johannes came to Albany, New York as an apprentice when he was sixteen years old, and later married Cornelia Andriese Bratt, who was born in 1655 in Rensselaer County. Cornelia was the daughter of the Vice Governor of Rensselaerwyck. Jan and Cornelia were murdered in a raid by Frenchmen and Sault and Algonquin Indians on February 8, 1690 in Schenectady, Albany Co., New York. The raid, known as the Schenectady Massacre, was a precursor of the French and Indian War, and was led by Count Frontenac, governor of New France and founder of present-day Kingston, Ontario. "Their bloody raid left nearly eighty houses of young Schenectady reduced to ashes and rubble. Most of the inhabitants lay dead in the winter night." (Marnie Reed Crowell, North to the St. Lawrence, 1975). (More information on The Schenectady Massacre.) The six children of Jan and Cornelia -- Arent, Marite, Victor, David, Cornelius, and Catalyntje -- evidently survived the massacre. More information about the Schenectady Massacre is available here on Digital History and here on Wikipedia.

Phillip Putman/Putnam settled in the town of Lyme, Jefferson County, New York, sometime shortly after the War of 1812 and his descendants have lived there since. Others by the name of Putnam preceded him in Northern Jefferson County; Abijah Putnam settled in Cape Vincent as early as 1801. In 1803, when James LeRay de Chaumont traveled into the wilderness to survey his newly purchased lands in Jefferson County, his canoe party "was obliged to stop at Gravelly Point [Cape Vincent], two miles above Putnam's [on Point Peninsula] where they pitched their tent...." (Thomas Wood Clarke, Emigres in the Wilderness, 1941.)

Philip's son Aaron (also spelled with the Dutch spelling Arent) survived four wives and had a number of children. His fourth wife, Eliza Henderson Horne had previously been married to Nicholas Horne, who was killed in a logging accident on Wolfe Island, Ontario. She had 2 sons and was 29 when she married the three times-widowed Aaron, then 49. She and Aaron had three sons together: Walter Manfred (1873), Philip and Wallace. They were living on Carleton Island off of Cape Vincent when young Philip died.

In 1896 Walter Manfred Putnam married Fannie Wells (1875), of Perch River. Their children were Gretta, born Dec. 9, 1896, and Garry, born Feb 26, 1899. Garry and his wife Laura Irene Hentze had eight children: Hilda Putnam Garbutt, Gretta Putnam Arnett, Ivan Putnam, Frederick "Hentze" Putnam, Janet Putnam Blanchard, Jeanne Putnam, Walter Norman Putnam (1939), and Dean Putnam.

In 1966 Walter married Phyllis Stumpf (1933) of Cape Vincent. Their children are Julie (1967), Margaret (1969), and William (1970-1982).

If We Are British
_________________________

Here's a different look at our ancestry, according to the records of the Daughters of the American Revolution: they find that Philip is the son of Aaron Putnam and Delia Fox, and that Aaron was of the British line of Putnams (which I am again uncertain of, as stated above).

Our father was Walter Norman Putnam (9/25/39 - 9/9/10). Son of Garry Wells Putnam and Laura Irene Hentze.

She was born December 5, 1746, and died December 7, 1835 in Cherry Valley, Otsego County, New York. (More information.)

____________________
Reverend Daniel Putnam was the son of Captain Benjamin Putnam and Hannah ____________. He was born 12 Nov 1696 in Salem Village, Essex, Massachusetts; died 20 Jun 1759 in Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard University in 1717. He married Rebecca Putnam 25 Feb 1717/18 in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts; she was the daughter of John Putnam (5651) (26 Mar 1657-Sep 1722) & Hannah Cutler (6 Dec 1655-aft 1722). She was born August 16, 1691 in Salem Village, Essex County, Massachusetts, and died Aft. 1759. (More information.)

_______________
Captain Benjamin Putnam was the son of NATHANIEL PUTNAM (Abt. October 1619 in England, and died July 23, 1700 in Salem Village, Massachusetts) and ELIZABETH HUTCHINSON. (More information.) BENJAMIN PUTNAM was born December 24, 1664 in Salem Village, Massachusetts, and died Abt. 1715 in Salem Village, Massachusetts. He married (2) SARAH July 01, 1706. Notes for BENJAMIN PUTNAM: Captain Benjamin Putnam married, according to Col. Perley Putnam, 25 Aug., 1686, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Putnam, but on the Salem records, the births of his children are recorded and it is there stated that they were "by wife Hanna."

Captain married second, 1 July, 1706, Sarah Holton. Benjamin Putnam was a prominent man in Salem, and held many town offices. He had always the title of "Mr." unless other titles are given. He held the positions of Lieutenant and Captain (1706-1711). From the time he was chosen tything man at the Village in 1695-6, hardly a year passed but what he was honored by his fellow townsmen. He was constable and collector in 1700. He was constantly chosen tything man and surveyor of Highways at the Village. He was one of the selectman in 1703-1713 and that his judgement was considered of value in shown by the frequency with which he was returned to the Grand and Petit Juries. His last appearance on the Salem records was in 1712 when he was one of those chosen to perambulate the bounds between Salem and Topsfield. On 30 Dec., 1709, he was chosen deacon of the church at the Village. On 25 July, 1713, Rev. Joseph Green in his diary mentions the fact of his calling on "Landlord Putnam" and that he was very sick and out of his head. This was the beginning of the end, for he died in 1714 or 1715. In regard to his part in the witchcraft delusion it can be summed up thus : The Goods were dependents in his family and when the indemnities were paid by the General Court to the heirs of those accused and imprisoned and murdered, William Good through the instrumentality of Benjamin Putnam obtained a very large proportion, -Mr. Upham thinks more than his share. Among the signatures to the certificate of character of Rebecca Nurse both those of Benjamin and his wife Sarah are found. He never seems to have appeared as a witness of any account and probably steered clear as far as he was able, of the whole affair. The title "Landlord" was one often given to the eldest living Putnam.

The following entries are as yet unexplained, diligent search among the state archives failing to reveal the reason of Benjamin Putnam's imprisonment.

These entries are also from Rev. Joseph Green's journal. "1707, June 16. News of Captain Putnam having come to Marblehead. June 17. Our country in great confusion. Some for the army, others against it. I went to Boston to ye Governor to release Benj. Putnam. Sept. 21. Sab. 7 baptized. Discoursed Capt. Putnam at night."

The Rev. Joseph Green often alludes to Benjamin Putnam in his diary.

"1708, July 29, I went with B. Putnam to Reading to Deacon Fitches, to spend ye day in prayer for him, he being almost blind, and old Mr. Weston quite blind, and other disconsolate deaf, &c. Mr. Pierpont began, I prayed, Dea. Fitch, Landlord Putnam and Dea. Bancroft then sang 146 Psalm and I concluded with a short prayer and blessing." During the following August there was more or less anxiety from attacks by the Indians at Haverhill.

"Oct. 23. I went with Major Sewall and Capt. Putnam to Haverhill." "Dec. 30 (1709). Benj. Putnam chosen deacon by every vote except his own."

"March 1 (1711). Ye church kept a Fast at ye house of Dea. Benj. Putnam."

"May 4 (1711). Chh. meeting rec'vd to full communion . . . ye wife of Dea. Ben. Putnam." "May 10. I went to Capt. Putnam's house raising."

"Mar. 17 (1713). I visited Dea. Ben. Putnam who is ill with a fall."

"July 25. Visited Landlord Putnam, very sick and out of his head." At the time covered by the above extracts, there were several "Capt. Putnams" viz. : John, Jonathan, Nathaniel, and as in the case above Ben- jamin, it is possible that some of the extracts may refer to Jonathan, who was extremely active at this time.

The will of Benjamin Putnam is dated 28 Oct., 1706, proved 25 April, 1715. He gives to his son Daniel (minister at Reading) "L150 for his learnig." Overseers, "Uncle John Putnam and Capt Jona. Putnam." All his children but Josiah are here mentioned. 30 June, 1715. The children of Benjamin who were of age, viz. : Tarrant, Benjamin, Robert Hutchinson, Elizabeth Hutchinson entered into an agreement. April 1, 1717, Cornelius chose his brother Nathaniel his guardian.

John Putnam was born Bef. January 17, 1579/80 in Wingrave, Buckinghamshire, England, and died December 30, 1662 in Salem, Massachusetts. He married PRISCILLA GOULD Abt. January 1610/11 in Wingrave, Buckinghamshire, England, daughter of RICHARD GOULD and ELIZABETH. (A great deal of information about John Putnam is available here. This information is based on the 1908 work of Eben Putnam.)

More information from another source: Deacon John Putnam was born on 17 January 1579 in Wingrave, Buckinghamshire, England. He immigrated in 1634 to Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts. He died on 30 October 1662 in Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts. From "The Puttenham Family Of England" John Puttenham, the 21st generation of our English ancestry became, at one and the same time, John Putnam, the first of our American kinfolk. He was born at Ashton Abbots, England ca, 1580 and died very suddenly in Salem Village (now Danvers) Mass., 30 Dec 1662. He was a farmer and evidently quite a prosperous man. His land (some 250 acres) was located between Davenport Hill and potter hill in Salem. He arrived in the Massachusetts colony about 1634 and was admitted to the church in Salem in 1647. His wife, married in England, has been known as both Priscilla Gould and Priscilla Deacon. There seems to be little information about her, other than the fact that she was his wife and the mother of his children, born in England. Because he was a land owner, his descendants were made eligible for membership in the Founder's and Patriots society.
