CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS (THOMAS) PUTNAM. 7 Note. — The following additional information has been ob tained respecting the family of Jacob Putnam (No. 451), page 260. In 1802, he settled upon the Worcester branch of the Winooski Eiver, the first settler in that part of Middlesex. He waS a farmer and lumberman. About his settlement has grown the flourishing village of Putnamville. He died 29 May, 1844. His wife Polly was born 1783, and died 25 Jan., 1840. She was the dau. of Timothy Woi-th, b. 1739, d. 31 May, 1823, who went from Portsmouth, N.

Worcester, Vt, 20 Jan., 1806 ; d. 14 Aug., 1893. " Christopher C. Putnam, Sr., was the son of Jacob Putnam, who came from Charlestown (No. 4), N. H., to Middlesex, Vt, in 1784, and settled on the North Branch, on the farm known as the Elijah Whitney place, in 1802, he being the first settler in the western part of the town. Jacob was a brother of the Hon. Seth Putnam, the third settler in Washington County, and was a carpenter. "In 1815 Bradstreet Baldwin of Londonderry, Vt, built a sawmill on the river at what is now the village of Putnam ville, taking advantage of the fall of thirty-two feet The mill had a capacity for sawing 100,000 feet of lumber per annum. C. C. Putnam bought the mill in 1845. Nine years from that date he tore down the old mill and erected a large double gang mill on the opposite side of the river, together with a grist mill and machinery for dressing lumber. The mill was con sumed by fire in 1862. The same year a new mill was built 8 HISTORY OF THE PUTNAM FAMILY. on the same site with a capacity of 2,000,000 feet of dressed lumber per year. " In 1865, after his return from the war, his son, Christopher C. Putnam, Jr., was taken into partnership and the firm name changed to C. C. Putnam & Son. In 1871 the firm puithased the Templeton and Vail mill in Worcester, in 1885 built a large steam dressing mill at Putnamville, and in 1890 a steam sawmill in Elmore, increasing their business from 100,000 feet per year in 1845 to 6,000,000 feet in 1898. " Mr. Putnam possessed good common sense and the ability to carry out whatever he undertook. Eeceiving only a com mon school education, he labored all his life to extend his field of learning, and by reading and close application acquired a large fund of general information. Although never an office- seeker, yet he held nearly all the offices which his town could give him. In early life he was an old-time Whig, an admirer of Clay, Webster, Sumner, and Lincoln, voting for General Harrison in 1840 and for his grandson in 1888. " A sturdy, genuine old Vermonter, who loved his family, respected the rights of those in his employ, and called every man his friend." — Vermont paper. He has held various local offices, and in 1864 was repre sentative. Children : 2502 Mary, b. 6 Nov., 1836 ; m. 16 Oct., 1855, Geo. M.

VII. I141 William {Seth,* Thomas, Seth, Thomas, Thomas, John), b. 6 Nov., 1793 ; killed at Windsor, Canada, 4 Dec, 1838. He married, 25 Feb., 1816, Eleanor, daughter of Sylvan us Dygert Warner Herkimer Putnam in a MS. memoir of the family, written in 1891, supplies the following information concerning the Dygert family: "My mother's father was Sylvanus Dy gert He was taken prisoner by the Indians and at that time his father was killed and scalped within sight of the fort which had been built for the protection of the settlers. He was then aged thirteen years. For three years he remained a prisoner at Montreal. Father and son were engaged in gathering apples at the time of the attack. They were near kin to the Van Eensselaers. My grandfather settled in Oxford County, Canada, in 1812, but the name is now extinct in that country." Mrs. Putnam is said to have been a niece of Gen. Nicholas Herkimer. *Seth VI, 452 c, page 261. Warner Herkimer Putnam before his death prepared a short sketch of his grandfather's family. He states that in 1795, when his grandfather emigrated to Canada, thei-e were no roads fi-om the head of the lake (where Hamilton now stands), but an Indian trail led for 315 miles into the country, and the Indians were numerous. In 1805, Seth Putnam contracted with the local government to build a wagon road from the head of the lake to Chatham on the Thames, 18 miles east of Lake St. Clair, a distance of 160 miles through a heavily wooded country. For this he was to receive 1600 acres of land and a cash bonus. He built the road but never received his reward. After the death of Seth his son commenced proceedings to recover from the government what was due, but the outbi-eak of the rebellion of 1837 put an end to the matter. Regarding his grandmother, he states that her name was Piper and that she was one of the few who escaped from the Massacre of Wyoming. He remembers her telling him about Butler's raid. Many of the stories he heard from her were thoroughly confirmed by history, as he found out in later days. He thinks she died about 1850, and says she never tired of telling him and others these tales of her early days. Mr. Putnam is probably mistaken in stating that his grandmother was a Piper. Her gravestone sa,ys Harding, and there were Hardings at Westmoreland and Exeter in the Wyoming valley who suffered sev erely from the massacre in goods and person, two at least of the family being killed. The entry of birth as in Nova Scotia must be a mistake. WILLIAM (THOMAS) PUTNAM. 11 Children : 2519 Sarah, b. 39 Aug., 1818 ; d. ; prob. m. Bates.

They had inherited property from their father, and by well applied efforts had increased their stake in the country. At the time of the "rebellion" the Putnams were well-to-do farmers and lumber men. The year 1837 had seen the virtual crushing out of the rebellion in Lower Canada, and it was during the period follow ing the successes of the government party in which happened the incidents which led to the first arrest of Putnam. The second rebellion is said to have broken out on the third of Nov., 1838. On the ninth occurred the battle of Odeltown, and on the following day the "Patriots" were successful at Beauharnois, and at the same time the windmill at Prescott was fortified by a band of " Patriots." This post was held till the arrival of regulars with artillery. At Prescott the loss of the British troops was 13 killed, 67 wounded. The " Patriots " lost about 40 killed, and 110 surrendei'cd. Putnam was not engaged in any of these encounters. Dr. W. E. Putnam of Bennington, a nephew of William Putnam, informs me that his father, Thomas Putnam, had told him that William Put nam was convinced of the futility of the proposed attack on Windsor, and strongly urged delay until the temper of the inhabitants was better known. His prudent counsel was 12 history of the PUTNAM FAMILY. overruled and, as he never lacked courage, he led the party as had been arranged. The narrative which now follows is very nearly as written. The manuscript was hurriedly written, and evidently had not been revised, and therefore it has been found necessary to change in a slight degree the wording of the story. The Narrative of Warner Herkimer Putnam. " My father was only four years old when he landed in the forest, and grew up with the freedom of the deer. He had but six weeks schooling in his boyhood. He was a man of great strength and of an iron will. His temperament was cheerful and lively, and, withal, he was possessed of good business abil ity. He was associated with his brothers in business. As each of the younger boys married their share was set oflE to them. Throughout the country they were known as the Put nam Brothers, and acquired considerable property in the shape of land, mills and public houses. When the war of 1812 broke out William and Joshua were drafted into the Canadian service and served at the battles of Lundy's Lane and Queens- town Heights. For gallant services, William was commis sioned a captain of militia of the city of London, and held that position for many years, until the growth of party feeling led him to resign in 1836. The native and American born inhab itants were antagonistic to those settlers who were new comers from Great Britain. The jealousy felt by each party for the other was intensified by the action of government in creating land monopolies and exempting large grants from taxation. The Clergy-Eeserve was especially distasteful to many, for al though set aside for the benefit of the Protestant religion it was beneficial only to the English Church. Local and profitable positions were given to friends of the party in power without regard for local prejudices. In 1836 the speaker"" of the '*' Mr. Putnam names him as Dr. Charles Duneombe, which seems to be an error However, Duneombe was one of the prominent " rebels." Heowedhis life to Thomas Putnam, for on one occasion he was closely pursued, and after several days' wander ing, during which he fed on berries and roots, he reached the house of Thomas Put nam, who concealed him, and that night carried him to the home of Col. Douglas, who kept him concealed for several months till he could get him across the border, which Duneombe accomplished disguised in woman's apparel. Soldiers visited the Douglas house several times while Duneombe was concealed there. WILLIAM (THOMAS) PUTNAM. 13 House of Parliament visited England to lay the grievances of the people before the home government, but although he re mained there a year he was not accorded a hearing. On his return the native party felt that but two alternatives were left to them, to submit to the oppression which bore so hardly upon their temper or to appeal to arms. Without considering the consequences of such an act, the latter alternative was. adopted. William Putuam had resigned his commission in 1836 ; he was not willing to oppose his party friends, and fore saw that trouble was coming. During the short struggle which followed he remained quietly at home. His friends in arms were defeated and scattered. The officers of the victori ous faction were mainly old friends and acquaintances of my father, and invited him to join with them in a jollification at the hotel in Delaware, where he was then living. Not wishing to make enemies, he joined the party, all of whom knew his principles. During the ev-ening, as usual on such occasions, heavy drinking was indulged in. Toasts were offered. That to the Queen and royal family were participated in by all present Then the health of the Governor-General was pro posed, and Mr. Putnam hesitated and finally set his glass down untouched. His exception was noticed by a rude and burly Englishman, a captain, the very one who had succeeded Put nam in command of his former company, who demanded that he drink the toast, and used insulting language as well as de nouncing him as a traitor. Mr. Putnam gave his reason in a. few words. He then took exceptions at the officer's remarks,. and slapped his face, at the same time challenging him to apologize or fight, or be denounced as a coward. Friends at tempted to interpose, but Putnam insisted that he was within his rights ; he had been insulted. He declared he was a loyal citizen of Canada, and would have an apology. He then re turned to his home, put his weapons in order and again visited the tavern, and in this calmer mood repeated the challenge, which he left open to any gentleman who dared question his loyalty to the crown. "On the evening of the 25th of Dec, 1837, our house was surrounded by a troop of cavalry, the officer in command remark- 14 HISTORY OF THE PUTNAM FAMILY. ing, ' We shall have trouble here.' The door being open, father walked out saying ' You will have no trouble here ; what are your demands ? ' The officer requested him to walk over to the hotel, which he did, and was there placed under arrest, bound hands and feet, and placed in the bottom of a lumber wagon with out straw or blankets. They immediately started for London. It was a cold, wet night, and although the guards twice stopped for refreshments and warmth, the prisoner, tightly bound, was left to withstand the effects of the weather unsheltered. His request to loosen his bonds, which were so tightly bound as to cause great suffering, was met with a prick of the bayonet and surly order to lie still. The party arrived in London on the 26th Dec, at four o'clock in the morning, and the prisoner was placed in jail. There he was kept for five months. Bri bery was freely employed to procure evidence to sustain the charge of high treason against him, but failed, and in June, without a trial, he was set free. In the meantime, in January, the family moved from the house in Delaware, back to the farm, but on the 4th of February the buildings were totally destroyed by fire, the work of an incendiary. The family barely escaped with their lives, and were left destitute and obliged to seek refuge with friends. " A week after father's release, while we were in hopes that further persecution would be abandoned, father received a letter from Col. Burwell, commanding the western forces, and an old and tried friend, conveying the information that he was about to be rearrested and counselling him to fly. " The family was called together, the letter read, and father said he thought the advice was good. He should leave us for awhile and, in company with his brother Thomas, seek safety in the United States. Their course was by boat, by way of a branch of the Thames, thence by the Thames to Lake St Clair, and along its shore to the head of the Detroit Eiver, and so across the channel to the American side The Thames ran through London, Kilworth, Delaware, where he had been ar rested, Wardsville and Chatham. For years he had floated lumber down those streams, and was well known throughout tlie territory, especially by the settlers along the banks. On WILLIAM (tHOMAS) PUTNAM. 15 the morning of departure, it was Sunday, as the boat was passing under the bridge, uncle and father in it, people going to church halted on the bridge. Many were old friends, some differed in political opinions. Father stood up in the boat and said to them : ' I am forced to leave my home, my family, and my country, or submit to arrest again, which I would not suf fer. ' He would never be taken alive. He bade them a fare well, and floated down the river out of sight He safely arrived in Detroit At Detroit he found many acquaintances, among them one Captain Cary, who still held his commission in the Canadian militia. Cary was an Englishman. Learning from father that he had left his family unsettled, and of his desire to return home in order to settle them, Cary offered, if father would visit his place at the forks of Bear Eiver, about seventy miles from Detroit and sixty from London, he would drive him to his house and stay with him for a time, and said that he would protect him from disturbance. Father, with Uncle Thomas '" and two others, kept the rendezvous. The house stood some way from the road, and father said he would go and see if all was clear. While stopping at the well to take a drink, Cary came out and shook hands with him. Then taking father's gun, said, 'Let me have your gun.' " Cary took hold of the gun and drew it towai-d him. Father said ' Cary, let go of my gun.' At that Cary placed his hands on him and said, 'You are my prisoner, in the King's name.' Father stood facing the house. He saw the door open and armed soldiers come out He realized that he was betrayed. Drawing his pistol, he shot Cary and made for the fence, which he jumped under fire of the soldiers. By favor of the inci-eas- ing darkness he escaped. The country was aroused, and $1000 reward offered for the body of William Putnam, dead or alive. " Dui'ing the night father came upon an Indian camp. He was well known to the Indians, and spoke their language, and to them he told his story. Knowing how impossible it would be to cross the lines, the Indians conducted him to a hiding- place, where they faithfully protected and fed him for thirty !¦•» Dr. Putnam informs me that Thomas Putnam was not with his brother on this occasion, as he had returned home immediately his brother was safe on American territory. 16 HISTORY OF THE PUTNAM FAMILY. days. He was then taken to the banks of the Huron Eiver, the door of an old barn wrenched off and he was soon afloat He safely effected the crossing [of one mile] and was again safe on American soil, near the town of Palmer. He soon went on to Detroit He knew that he was a ruined man, and could not hope for pardon or toleration from the government Cary lived three days, during which time he confessed that he had been promised promotion if he could arrest Putnam and his friends with arms in their hands, which indeed he very nearly accom plished by his treacherous act " After the second arrival at Detroit, father entered heartily into the plans of the 'patriots,' as they were termed. A se cret camp was arranged at Creet, west of Detroit, for the pur pose of raising a force to cross the river and give battle, for it was thought if a stand could be made, they would soon gain strength. Four hundred men were enrolled and equipped. Putnam was made commander. A steamboat was chartered to cross the river, and on the foui'th of December, in the evening, they crossed and landed at the town of Windsor, opposite De troit As the steamer returned to the American shore again there was no hope but to fight to the last. At Windsor the steamer Thames was burned at the wharf, the militia routed, the barracks burned. Spies were in the party, and before the party had crossed the river word had been carried to the Brit ish troops at Post Maiden, who were soon on the\ march. These troops arrived in time to rally the fugitives and oppose the small band of invaders, who were but illy disciplined com pared with regular troops. They stood their ground for a time, but the struggle was short and destructive. Many dead were left on the field on both sides. My father was shot through the brain."" My two brothers were with him, but es caped, the youngest recrossed the river on an ice cake amid flying bullets, the other escaped to the woods. The wounded were bayoneted. The prisoners were placed on a fence and "" The following account of Putnam's death was given by Major McGuise, who stood by Putnam's side at the time : " After ordering his party to retreat, he turned and faced the British, shook his sword in their faces, uttering a curse of disappoint ment and rage. A British soldier stepped forward and deliberately shot him through the forehead." JOSHUA (tHOMAS) PUTNAM. 17 shot Many of the dead were buried on the field, but my father's remains were allowed to be taken up and placed in a coffin and buried in a corner in a friend's garden. Thus ended the career of my father, in the prime of life, driven to desper ation through the fear and jealousy of those in power. His was a noble life, sacrificed to tyranny and oppression. He was one of the noblest of men, and an affectionate husband, a kind and indulgent father, honorable and generous to a fault" Here ends the manuscript narrative. Dr. Putnam writes : " The rebels presented my uncle with a handsome sword on that night (the night before the attack on Windsor), which weapon was found tightly clenched in his hand when his dead body was found after the battle. Col. Prince (so notorious) obtained the sword, and kept it as a sou venir, notwithstanding the effort my father made to obtain it after the battle was over." This Col. Prince was the British commander, and he it was who ordered the prisoners to be nhot, as he himself reports in his dispatch to his superiors. The number killed was twenty- one, " besides four brought in just at the close, and immediately after the engagement, all of whom I ordered to be shot on the spot, which was done accordingly."- (Eeport of Col. Prince.)'" Lord Durham on hearing of this atrocity exclaimed in the House of Lords, "he had no hesitation in stating that Col. Prince was a murderer, and a disgrace to the name of a British officer." Prince was cashiered and dismissed the service. Lord Durham, afterward became Governor-general of Canada, and was entertained by Thomas Putnam at his home. VII.

The early life of Thomas Putnam was uneventful. He soon showed evidences of a strong individuality, which devel oped later into a vigorous and sturdy manhood. He located at Dorchester, U. Canada, in the year 1825 and laid the foun dation of an extensive mercantile and lumbering business, which proved very successful, Mr. Putnam becoming one of the most proininent private citizens in western Ontario, then Canada West About the year 1839, the name of Dorchester was changed to Putnam in honor of the subject of this sketch. Du™g the troublous times incident to the Canadian rebellion of 1837^38, Mr. Putnam sympathized with the supportei's of responsible government and thus became an object of suspicion to the Tory party then in power, so much so in fact that he was obliged to remain in concealment many weeks. to save himself from imprisonment, and possibly a worse fate. He had pre viously, m anticipation of trouble, constructed a secret cham ber in his house, entered only by a concealed sliding panel. Here he lay six weeks, during which time British soldiers searched the house. This chamber is still to be seen in the old mansion house. He greatly aided the rebel cause with both money and influence. His brother, William Putnam, was one of the leaders of the rebel forces in Upper Can,adai, and commanded rebels at the battle of Windsor, where he fell at the head of his men. Mr. Putnam was appointed a magistrate by the Governor in 20 history of the putnam family. 1838, an office he retained to the time of his death, March 26, 1880. This office is a life appointment in Canada. He refused other public offices, which were frequently tendered him. Mr. Putnam met with business reverses late in life, which left him only a very moderate competence after honorably satisfying the demands of every creditor in full, although not compelled to do so by law at the time, his losses having been due to the dishonesty of a partner whom he trusted.

He was much respected and popular, and was generally known as "Uncle John." He is especially mentioned in Wheeler's History of Croydan. He was strong both physically and men tally, and by industry became one of the most prosperous farm ers in Croydon. A descendant writes that " all of his children had a marked family likeness, the women tall, spare and dark, the men less tall and less dark, brown haired and gray eyed."

From a letter of a descendant of David Putnam, No. 491 (p. 268), we learn that family tradition asserts he served in a com pany raised by Capt Whipple in Croydon to check Burgoyne's invasion, and was in active service at Stillwater and present at Burgoyne's surrendei'. During the long winter evenings of that period the women plaited straw lor sale and the men at home helped. The farms were very rocky and required incessant toil.

Ftirther information will be found in Putnam Leaflets, 42 HISTORY OF THE PUTNAM FAMILY. Capt. Andrew Putnam settled in Stockton, N. Y. The following account is furnished by the Hon. Deloss Putnam : " About a year previous to his marriage, in company with several other young men, he went into Vermont to secure a farm from the unsurveyed lands of the Government. But the party endured much suffering, and, disappointed with the country, they all finally returned to their homes in Massachusetts. " Near the close of the year 1795, Mr. Putnam journeyed into the state of New York, and purchased 200 acres of wild land in the town of Brookfield, Madison County. After preparing a temporary dwelling on his new purchase, he returned to Massachusetts, and in the following February, accompanied by his wife and two children, Harriet and Newell. The journey was made with an ox team and sled to their new home in Brookfield. " The dangers from hostile Indians were then at times very great, and to afford protection to the inhabitants a militia com pany was organized under the laws of the state, and Andrew Putnam was chosen commander and commissioned as Captain. This company was thoroughly drilled and disciplined, and during the war of 1812 was of special service in protecting the settlers, while several of the younger portion, including Newell, the Captain's oldest son, saw service elsewhere. "By the close of the year 1811, Capt. Putnam's family num bered ten children. Much of the forest had been changed to cultivated fields, affording ample means for subsistence and comfort. In February, 1813, Harriet, the only daughter, and eldest of the children, was united in marriage to Jonathan Bugbee, and in the January following removed with her husband to the distant wilds of Chautauqua, where he had previously prepared a home. In the fall of 1816, the Captain with his wife made the long journey to the home of their daughter on a visit. They were so well pleased with the country that soon after returning East they accepted an offer of $2000 for their farm, and made care ful preparations for their journey westward. Early in Febru ary, 1817, the adieus were spoken, and with a train consisting ANDREW (tHOMAS) PUTNAM. 48 of one span of horses and sleigh, four yoke of oxen and two sleds, followed by thirteen cows and young cattle, the wilder ness journey of over two hundred and fifty miles was under taken. The snow was deep ; the actions of the Indians were at times suspicious ; the white inhabitants were few along the route ; and the progress was slow and tedious. " An association known as the Holland Land Company had secured all the Government lands in the western part of New York, and in 1815, to encourage immigration, opened an ex cuse for a road from the Genesee Eiver to the head of Chautauqua Lake. Following this trail, Capt. Putnam and family, after a journey of eighteen days, arrived on the 20th of February, 1817, at the log cabin home of their daughter. After a short rest he proceeded to the land office at the head of Chautauqua Lake, and secured at a little over $4 per acre 170 acres of timbered land in the south part of the present .town of Stockton. The cattle subsisted through the balance of the winter almost entirely on browse, and in the spring en- -joyed the freedom and green herbage of the forest. On .the organization of the town of Stockton in 1821, Capt. Put nam was the only resident that had secured a deed for the land purchased. " Following the example of other settlers he constructed a log house for temporary use, but soon commenced the erection of a large two-story dwelling, which occupied two years' time in completing. That grand old yellow mansion for more than seventy years was a prominent landmark. It was taken down, in the winter of 1889, and a more prominent structure now ¦occupies its foundations. From the ' pen pictures ' of the late Judge L. Bugbee, we find that Capt. Putnam was six feet one inch in height, with a round, well balanced head, which was bald at the top. His eyes were blue and full, nose medium in size, lips thin, chin full and on a line with the fore head, and his body as straight as an arrow. " In May, 1828, he had the misfortune to cut one of his knees, and being then called from home on public business, he took a severe cold. His knee became inflamed, and the accident, regarded with little apprehension at first, resulted in terminat- 44 HISTORY OF THE PUTNAM FAMILY. ing his eventful life on June 14, 1828. He was a man of great energy and firmness, and in religious faith a Baptist. His ashes now repose in Union Cemetery, at Centralia, about one mile from the place of his death. " The widow of Capt. Putnam lived to see her ninety-fourth year. She was a lady of more than ordinary intelligence. During the last years of her life she resided with her children. She died on the 18th of Jan., 1864, at the home of her son, Newell. " Harriet Putnam (No. 2838), was united in marriage with Jonathan Bugbee in February, 1813. Wedding tours were not then enjoyed in the elegance and comfort of palace coaches, but the young bride was not unhappy in the society of her gallant companion, as they plodded slowly forward, with oxen and sled, to the little clearing and home he had prepared in the forest "The present generation can scarcely imagine the log cabin, 16x20 feet, with the great open fire at one end of the only room, and that room serving as kitchen, pantry, parlor and bedroom ; with space allotted for the loom, the spinning-wheel, the distaff, and — finally, the cradle. Such was not the home of one family alone, but of all in the settlement; nearly all were young, and all were hopeful. Yet to every heart came frequent thoughts of the comforts left in the East, and of the dear ones that remained there. At dusk, the little flocks of sheep were driven where the wolves would not find them ; if the stock of venison got low, the careful marksman brought a fresh deer from the forest, and placed it in a corner where no panther might scent it. Then, when the glowing fire illuminated the room, if a few neighbors called, the fiddle was put in tune, and the merry dancers enjoyed the space that somehow was provided. " About 1821, Harriet's husband extended their buildings, and for a few years kept a tavern. After the death of Mr. Bugbee in 1829, their son. Judge L., arranged with the heirs that he should retain the homestead, and the widow generally made that her home until her death in Oct, 1880, at the age of eighty-eight years. MALACHI (tHOMAS) PUTNAM. 45 " Of the children of Harriet, Andrew Putnam Bugbee, born Aug. 5, 1816, married a lady of Chandlers Valley, Pa., at which place he now resides. Judge L. Bugbee was born Feb. 10, 1818, and married Mary Ann Flagg. He was a prominent citizen, faithful to many official positions, and an author of much distinction. From his sketches of the pioneer history of the county is gathered much information contained in these sketches. Since the death of Judge on June 9, 1888, his only son, J. Eugene, retains the old homestead at Centralia, N. Y.

Y., who also furnished the following account of Abner Putnam : "Soon after marriage the young couple started with an ox- team for the ' Holland Purchase,' New York, and were about six weeks in performing the journey. Abner Putnam arrived in the town of Stockton, County of Chautauqua, the 18th of June, 1818, and took a piece of heavy timbered land on the outlet of Cassadaga Lake, which required for many years the laborious exercise of his strong physical powers to clear and subdue, before he could raise sufficient grain for the support of his family. At that early period the pioneer settler of west ern New York had to endure many severe and serious pri vations. There were not roads, mills, churches, schools or stores. The rudest kind of implements of husbandry sufficed to subdue the heavy forest The next year he went back to Massachusetts, carrying a heavy knapsack on his back, and returned with it heavier laden, weighing 48 lbs. at Savona, where he stopped with a friend to rest The raising of sheep was one of the necessary branches of husbandry at that time, and it was attended with serious losses from the frequent dep redations of wolves which destroyed large numbers of the flocks. To exterminate them it was a part of his duty, like his distinguished kinsman, the wolf-slayer, to unite with neigh bors, often from neighboring towns, and surround a large tract of woodland, to which the wolves retired after making their attacks upon the various flocks at night "It is not compatible with this short sketch to give a detailed account of the whole affair, but suffice it to say the entire program was successfully carried out, and a number of wolves, deer and bears were killed, besides a number of other 60 HISTORY OF THE PUTNAM FAMILY. animals. After this sheep raising was more profitable. Soon the forest began to disappear before the sturdy strokes of the woodman's axe, and he lived to see it replaced with more inviting fields of grain. Eoads were made, schoolhouses built, churches reared, mills located upon almost every stream ; and after a while the slow ox-team was exchanged for horses, and they in turn gave place for the ' Iron Horse,' which now goes through the same farm he cleared, puffing and snorting, its shrill whistle taking the place of the shriek of the panther and howl of the wolf. He lived upon the same farm until his death. He was a conscientious member of the Baptist church."

Joseph Putnam was a shoemaker and manufacturer, and engaged in business in Marblehead, Gloucester (1804-25), and finally in Salem, and there invented tlie " stone aqueduct " and drain pipes, for which he had a patent in 1829. This inven tion was sneered at and ridiculed by the Salem and Danvers Aqueduct Co., who used pine logs for their pipes, by Mayor Quincy of Boston, by Portland people, and nearly all to whom "' James Kimball, Ph. D., graduated from Harvard and studied at Gottingen. He has occupied a collegiate chair of mining and engineering, and from 1885 to 1889 was director of the U. S. Mint. During the war he was Asst.

It is said, that the Hon. Stephen C. Philhps of Salem was the only man to encourage the inventor or see the great utility of the stone conduits. Mr. Elijah Upton, a tanner of South Peabody, was probably the first to use the pipe, having a line laid in his tan- yard, and a Capt Trask of Gloucester piped his spring into his house. These were about the only instances where the in ventor succeeded in introducing his piping now in use for drainage purposes everywhere. The invention only brought poverty and ridicule to Mr. Putnam. While Mr. Putnam was attempting to convince skeptics that " stone " pipes were better than wooden, a coal dealer from Pennsylvania came to see him. This dealer sought to intro duce the use of anthracite coal in the New England states and was meeting with as much ridicule as Mr. Putnam. What he needed was a stove or stove lining which would withstand the heat of the coal, and this he could not find. Mr. Putnam saw the man and the situation, and soon had invented a lining which was fitted to a score of stoves and which proved success ful. The new linings were introduced in Boston, Portland, Worcester, and elsewhere, bringing in some measure success and comfort to the inventor. He continued the manufacture of these linings for twenty-five years. The family had blue eyes and dark hair, which turned gray early.

GEORGE (thomas) PUTNAM. 76 and set up for himself — at one time living in the farmhouse in Danvers known as the " Clarke place." In about 1777 or 1778 he moved to Lancaster and became a considerable land holder in that and the neighboring towns. In 1783 he bought a large farm in that part of Lancaster which was soon after set off as the new town of Sterling. This farm he divided into two, building a new home for himself, and establishing his oldest son, Andrew, in the old farmhouse, a very old but substantially built oak-framed house, which is still standing in good repair. Andrew Putnam died in 1809, leaving his widow with six children, of whom the youngest was less than two years old. Accident and disease carried off all except the oldest and the youngest before the latter had finished his college course, and he was familiar from his earliest years with sorrow and care, as well as with the noblest patience and courage. His love and reverence for his mother, to whom he attributed all his oppor tunities for a successful career, were among the strongest and deepest feelings of his nature, and inspired many eloquent and touching passages in his preaching throughout his life. His mother was determined he should have a college educa tion, and made without flinching the sacrifices that many a New England mother has before and since made to that end. He was sent to Leicester and Groton Academies, and in 1822 entered the freshman class at Harvard College — graduating in due course and with high standing in 1826. His remarkable gift of fresh and racy eloquence, joined to intellectual abilities of a high order, attracted attention even during his college career. His intention after graduating was to return to his paternal farm, and help his mother to carry jt on. He de cided, however, to spend a year in teaching, and was installed soon -after graduating as master of the Duxbury Academy, one of a then large class of secondary schools, based on generous but inadequate foundations, which served a very useful pur pose in their day, but have generally been starved out or absorbed in town high schools under the present system. While at Duxbury, he was urged by the Eev. Benjamin Kent, the local Unitarian minister, and by Henry Ware, Jr., then 76 HISTORY OF THE PUTNAM FAMILY professor in the Divinity School at Cambridge, to enter the ministry, and partly through their persuasion, but mainly, no doubt, from his own feeling that that way lay his true career, he entered the Divinity School in 1827. Graduating in 1830, he had already been several months settled over the First Church at Eoxbury, where he remained till his death in 1878. He almost immediately took a high rank among the preachers of the day ; but he devoted himself as earnestly to the cares of his parish, every member of which always found in him a personal friend, as to the preparation of the weekly discourse which soon began, and during the whole of his min istry continued, to be looked forward to by great numbers both of his own congregation and of others who crowded his great church, with eager anticipation and curiosity. One or two attempts were made to induce him to leave the quiet suburb where he was settled for New York or Boston, and he was strongly urged in 1845 to go to Cambridge as Hollis Pro fessor of Divinity and College Preacher. But he preferred to keep on in the place where he had started, and in the lines of work which he had laid out for himself in the beginning of his career. In 1852, when Dr. Walker was made President of Harvard College, Dr. Putnam was chosen a Fellow of the Corporation in his place, and served the college in that capacity till shortly before his death. In 1853 he was a member of the convention to revise the State Constitution. During the war he broke the habit of his life to take no part in public affairs, except to preach an occasional political sermon on Fast and Thanksgiving days, and took an active part in public meetings in his own neighborhood to aid and encourage the government He was one of the few who never faltered in his confidence in Abraham Lincoln. Very early in the strug gle he formed the highest estimate of his character and ability, and never swerved from it through all the doubts and anxieties of those terrible years, when it often seemed to the most patri otic and sanguine that the government was hopelessly weak and wrong-headed. ^y^^-fi'^P^^i^ ANDREW MERRIAM (tHOMAS) PUTNAM. 77 In 1869 and 1870 he represented his fellow-citizens in the State Legislature, where be acquired great influence and respect In 1872, while still apparently in the full vigor of his powers and while his reputation and popularity as a preacher was undiminished, he was suddenly struck with paralysis, and, although his mind was never affected and after a time he partially recovered his strength, he never was able to fully resume his work. He died in April, 1878, in his seventy- first year. VII. 1525 Capt.

Andrew Merriam Putnam possessed many of the striking traits of the family. He followed the sea for more than twenty years and passed through many thrilling experi ences. The one of which he most delighted to tell was the recapture of the ship Friendship "" from the Malays in 1831, "" The capture and plunder ot the ship Friendship of Salem, commanded by Charles M. Endicott, was an exciting incident of the East India trade of Salem. The ship Friendship sailed from Salem 26 May, 1830, for the west coast of Sumatra, known as the " pepper coast," and reached her destination in Sept., 1880. The dealings with the Malay or Acheenise inhabitants of the coast had been generally conducted without 78 HISTORY OF THE PUTNAM FAMILY. in which he took part, and about which he loved to say that he had been in one battle at least In command of a vessel he was self-poised, full of expedients, and in danger in trepid. His earlier voyages were made from Salem, for the Pingrees and Silsbees, the old Salem shipowners ; later he sailed from Boston, and the last vessels he commanded sailed from New York. In this comparatively short period, commerce had shifted from the smaller ports to the great metropolis. He was a firm believer in the temperance cause. He made a journey to Chicago, walking the distance, and as often as his comrade stopped for rum, Putnam would pour his portion into his shoes, thus keeping himself clearer in brain and less footsore than his companion. As a citizen he was loyal and energetic. For the poor he gave a cheering word and timely aid, obtaining for many a houseless family the shelter of a home roof. The good which he did to individuals and to the community in as sisting laboring men to secure homes, can be estimated by the friction, though the American shipmasters from experience had learned to trust the natives not too freely. The Friendship was waiting near Qualah Battoo for the new crop of pepper to complete her cargo. Early in February, 1831, Capt. Endicott and several of his party visited the town and were detained on shore buying pepper. A party of Malays succeeded in secreting themselves on one of the native boats engaged in loading and through the over confidence of the chief mate, who lost his life, in truded themselves on the vessel and succeeded in capturing her. Capt. Endicott and his party perceived what was going on in time to reach their boat and make their way out to the ship, but found her completely in the hands of the natives. Making a sail of gunny bags they succeeded in reaching Muckie where they fell in with the James Monroe of New York, the Governor Endicott of Salem, and the Palmer of Boston, the masters of which offered their aid to regain the lost ship. This was a difficult matter, as the Malays refused to surrender their prize. Shots were exchanged be tween the American ships and the torts on shore, which mounted several six-pounders, as well as with the Friendship, whose guns were manned by the Malays. The guns of the forts were silenced and preparations made to cut out the Friendship. Just as the boats were about to get away smoke was seen arising from the Friendship, the Malays having accidentally exploded an open keg of gun powder. The boarding party anticipated a severe struggle but on their approach the Malays abandoned the vessel with all haste. The original attack on the ship had resulted in the death and wound ing of several of her crew, though a few managed to escape to the jungle, where they suffered greatly, but afterward, together with the wounded, regained their vessel. The ship's original crew was seventeen men. Putnam must have been on board the brig Gov. Endicott which assisted in the recapture. The Friendship was sadly plundered. She reached Salem with her pepper in July. The following year the U. S. frigate Potomac, Com. Downes, bombarded the town and landing 300 men under the guidance of Barry, formerly second ofBcer of the Friendship, carried the forts by storm after severe fighting. Capt. Endicott's account of the " Piracy of the Friendship " may be read in Essex Institute Hist. Coll. I., p. 15.

Throughout his life he was a consistent Christian, an untir ing worker, and a generous contributor to the activities of the Church. Late in life he united with the Church. He was quick-witted and efficient in whatever he undertook, fond of a good story, always ready for work or for play, as the time required. He was an excellent example of the old-fashioned New England shipmaster, of high moral and kindly character and practical abilities.

The firm manufactured shoes for the southern' market In their business they employed many of their neighbors, and people in Middleton. The uppers were cut in the shop ; these were then delivered to women to be bound at home.

He was a close student and fond of the dead languages, in which he was an adept There he made the ac quaintance of Samuel Finley Yinton, then commencing the practice of law, and with him Putnam studied law. He was admitted to the bar, and removed to Port Gibson, where his uncle fitted him out with office and library. The office was situated in the uncle's garden and never bore a sign, for, said he to the young lawyer, " Keep your office and the office will keep you." Putnam became a successful lawyer and rose high in the esteem of the public. He was a director in the best managed bank in Mississippi, the Bank of Mississippi. In 1825 he married Miss Sevier, whose acquaintance he made during her residence with her paternal aunt, Mrs. Daniel Yet- ner, of Burlington, near Port Gibson. He abandoned the prac tice of law many years before his death, having acquired a large property. The later years of his life were devoted to lit erary pursuits. He was president of the Tennessee .Historical Society and author of the History of Middle Tennessee. He was an elder in the Presbyterian church at Nashville (under the charge of Eev. John Todd Edgar). The war proved disastrous to his fortune, and his library and family papers were destroyed by fire during its continuance.

In those days the journey from Marietta to New Haven was performed on horseback and took six weeks. During their studies at Yale, Douglas and his brothers visited their home but once. The return to college was by the Erie canal, then recently made available for passenger traffic, " a rapid and luxurious means of travel." On 15 March, 1832, a meeting was held at Marietta, of which Douglas Putnam was secretary, which re sulted in establishing the Marietta Collegiate Institute, char tered as Marietta College in February, 1835. For sixty-three years Putnam served as secretary, and every diploma until commencement, 1894, bears his signature. He was thoroughly alive to the interests of the institution. His first gift was $200 in 1833, and the aggregate of his gifts to the college was nearly $80,000. Mr. Putnam had interests in many business and public enter prises. He was a director in the old Bank of Marietta for some years before its charter expired in 1842 ; a director in the Marietta branch of the State Bank of Ohio, established in 1846 ; also a director, and for a time president, of the Marietta National Bank, which went out of business years ago. For fifteen years he was a director in the Belpre (changed to Marietta, 1850) and Cincinnati Eailroad Company, of which he was a charter member. A correspondent who knew him and his family well, writes r " The Putnams have ever been men of strong characteristics, thoroughly honest, vigorous and self-reliant, independent, with no questionable acts except as resulting from determined con victions, perhaps sometimes from prejudices that were not weak. Douglas Putnam had more of suavity in his manner than is usual with the lineage, wherever found. His benevo lence of expression was clear, his every act kind. " Although ever taking a lively interest in public afliairs, Mr. Putnam seemed to be devoid of personal political ambition. In 1846, on the reappraisement of the property of Ohio for DAVID (thomas) PUTNAM. 91 taxation, his eminent fitness caused him to be selected for the State Board of Equalization, and he held the same place again in 1871. In 1827 he became a member of the Congregational Church of Marietta — transferred to the Harmar Church on its organization in 1840, of which latter church he was the father, a relation continued throughout his life. " He was a man of strong and loving religious character, of childlike trust and untiring helpfulness to his fellow-men, of large benevolences and unbounded hospitality. His home was a home to every reasonable comer — a veritable hospital, with outlying branches. What was done by him can only be esti mated by the Supreme Power. He substantially ' administered upon his own estate,' as was intended by him, and if he fell short it was from human imperfection." VII. 1573 David {David, Col. Israel, Gen.

These notes were collected some years since with the intention of pub lishing a genealogical history of the family in its several branches. In the course of the investigations toward this end, the compiler received much help from Edward D. Putnam, Victor C. Putman, DeWitt C. Putman and Mrs. Brown. As DeWitt C. Putman announced his purpose of preparing a genealogy of the family further researches were abandoned. Mr. Putman has probably more material than any other person, and it is to be hoped he will be able to publish the results of his investigations, which have shown the existence of other families of Putmans than those descended from Jan Putman. However, the brief genealogy which follows wiU undoubtedly prove of some service to the many and widely scattered members of the family. I 1. Jan or Johannes Putman, of Schenectady was the founder of the principal Putman family in America. His parent age is at present unknown. It is supposed he was born in Hol land in 1645. In 1661, he was 16 years of age, and at that date a resident of Albany. He and his wife, were killed by Indians at the burning of Schenectady, 8 Feb., 1690. He married Corne lia, the daughter of Arent Andriese and Catlyntje,* (dau. of Andries De Vos) Bratt, of Schenectady. On the 14 Sept., 1661, Jan Hendrickse Van Bael apprenticed Jan Putman for three years to Philip Hendrickse Brouwer. * Catlyntje De Vos was three times married, first to Bratt (by whom she had: Aefie, married to Claas Frederickse Van Petten; Ariaantje, married first Helmer Otten, second, 1676, Reyer Schermerhorn; Andries, killed by the Indians, 1690; Cornelia, born 1656, married Jan Poutman; Samuel; Dirk: second, to Barent Jans Van Ditmar, who was killed 1690; and third, in 1691, to Claas Janse Van Bockhoven. Her will was made in 1699, but she lived till 1712. In this latter year a division of her estate was made between the following parties, by agreement dated August 11th: Anne, Arent Bratt (son of Andries), Samuel Brat, Dirk Brat, Claas van Petten and Eva (Aefie), "syn-wyf" Reyer Schermerhorn and Arianetie his wife, Arant Pootman in behalf of Victor Pootman, David Pootman, Maria Poot man " wyf van Steven Cofooy," Cattolina Pootman "wyf of Cornelius Post," children of Cornelia Brat, " housewife" of Johannis Pootman, etc. Thus it will be seen that Pootman was connected with the leading families of Schenectady Patent, particularly the Sohermerhorns and Bratts. In the division above mentioned among the signers were Cornelius Pootman and David "Potman." The deed was recorded May, 1715, at Albany and may be found in Book I. (101) 102 HISTORY OP THE PUTNAM FAMILY. "Soo heeft Jan Hendr. Van Bael besteet ends Philip Hendr. Brouwer aen genomen Johannes Pootman, jong gesel out jegen- wordich omtrent sestien jaeren" to serve said Brouwer, "van drye achtereen volgende jaaren." Although but sixteen Jan signed his name "in a clear and beautiful hand," a somewhat unusual accomplishment for the time and place. Upon Brou- wer's removal to Schenectady the boy went with him. Brouwer died early in 1664. Eighty gulden a year was the recompense Putman received in lieu of outfit. Pearson already quoted largely, states that the house lot of Jan Putman, was on the north corner of Union and Ferry streets, having a front of 100 feet on the former street; later he bought the 100 feet next west of Jan Roeloffse, son of the well known Anneke Janse. In Colonial times the law of primogeniture prevailed in New York, thus the right to his father's lands fell to Arent, the eldest son. He, on 6 Apr., 1709, conveyed a part of the above de scribed land to his brother Victoor. Children, born at Schenectady, all hving in 1712: 2 Arent. 3 Maritib, wife of Steven Cofooy in 1712; m.

Arent {Jan), bom at Schenectady, probably about 1675; married Lysbet Akkerman. Very little is known about Arent, he sold land in Schenectady, to his brother Victoor, in 1709; and in 1720 was a freeholder there. In 1713 he is de scribed as a "weaver." June, 1733, he leased of Peter Brower, a tract of land which said Brower had from an Indian, July, 1730, and which was situated on the south side of the Mohawk River, beginning at Ochrachqua, or Auries Creek. He probably removed thither at that time, as he was living in 1754 in the "Maquaas country." Children : 8 Janbtje, bapt. Albany, 12 June, 1709; m.

Victor Puttman." In 1727 according to an an cient _map of that date he held land next the Mabee Grant, sit uated in Candaughrity, and still in possession of descendants, about two miles from Fort Hunter. He married in Albany, 13 Dec, 1706, Grietje, sister of Jan Pieterse Mebie; but accord ing to Judge Sanders she was Margaret Mebie, and they were married 2 Dec, 1706. Member of the 2d foot company at Schenectady in 1715, the only Putman on the list, which included every able man between the years sixteen and sixty. In the lengthy dispute, regarding the common lands at Schen ectady, between some of the inhabitants and Reyer Schermer horn, Arent seems to have taken the latter's part, while Victoor and Comelis were opposed.

Ernestus Putman of New Madison, Ohio, writing in 1829 and again in 1834, gives the following account of his grandfather and his family. "My grandfather's name was John Putman, I do not know my grand mother's name, she died when my father was but six years old. They lived in the western part of New York, which was then a wilderness. Grandfather being unable to keep the family to gether, I have knowledge of but five of the nine, my father now living at Schenectady, uncles David and Henry, and my aunts Mary and Sarah. A short time after the commencement of the Revolution, my grandfather and David were captured by In dians and the old man, not well able to travel, killed. David they kept three years, when he made his escape and came home. He afterward went into some of the New England states and there married. He was killed in a well, while cleaning it.* I do * In a letter of 1829, he gives the death as occurring in New York and that the widow, a New England girl, returned home with her children.

"A party of Sir John Johnson's men proceeded directly to the house of Lode wyck Putman, an honest Dutchman living two miles and a half from Johnston Court House. Putman had two daughters and three sons, two of the sons were absent. The old man and his son Aaron were killed." The mother and Hannah were spared. Amasa Stevens was also slain. The Putmans of the Mohawk valley were firm and outspoken Whigs, and it was commonly the case for the Tories with their Indian allies to attack the Putman farms in preference to others. Ill 11.

In 1736, Adolph Hendrick Putman, "adyisor" of the consort and children of the Prince of Orange, prepared an account of his services, family and ancestry, which was translated by De Witt C. Putman and published in Putnam's Historical Magazine, 1899, Vol. VII, pp. 95, 126. The founder of this family was Rutger Pntroan, Advocate Fiscal and Land Steward for Count Van der Lyppe. He married Agnez Bosch, and died in Lipstadt in 1676. He was born in Ham, Westphalia about 1610. His son Abraham settled in Holland, and in 1736 had descendants in London. Adolph descended from the Rev. John, brother of Abraham. The family was distinguished and ot armorial rank. THE JOHN AND THOMAS PUTNAM FAMILY OF CONNECTICUT AND VERMONT. This family derive their descent from two brothers John and Thomas Putnam who, according to the statement of the son of John Putnam, came from the north of England about the year 1789. y. JOHN PUTNAM born, according to family tradition, in the north of England, about 1760, came to New England with his brother Thomas in 1789. Concerning his coining and family the reader is referred to the letter quoted below. An other tradition is that he and his brother were walking in the street and were pressed for the fleet, and, although confined on a man of war, made their escape and sought refuge in America. This comes through the family of Augustus Put nam, son of Thomas, George Putnam's elder brother. From this source were obtained the dates of birth of his children, and also the data concerning his marriage, as well as the statement that he was a farmer and first settled at Wethers- field, where he was married, 11 Sept., (1728 a manifest error), Hannah DUlings who was born in Newington in 1763, and died in Hartford, 9 July, 1857. Mr. Putnam died 3 Oct., 1816, and is buried in the North Main street Cemetery. George Putnam who wrote the letter from which the follow ing is taken, was a member of the firm of B. Hudson & Co. of Hartford. The letter was dated 12 Sept., 1834. "***** My own business is very extensive and requires my constant personal attention, at auction and private sale, more (117) 118 HISTORY OF THE PUTNAM FAMILY. than $300,000 a year. All the auction department I attend myself and the principal part of private sale.**** I am also blessed with a great share of public business, if you can call it a blessing, being a member of the Court of the Common Council of the City and holding various responsible appointments**** I have not been able to obtain the exact information which I wished to communicate to you. I can only say that my yoimger days were days of poverty. My father as I learn was formerly worth some property which he had gathered himself. He had some left him from his father's estate in England, but misfor tunes of various kinds occurred which left nothing for his child ren. I was brought up away from home when quite a child, and aU (**** ) of the family were not clear and distinct to me and therefore I have been obhged to gather as much as I could from such sources as I could depend upon from various quarters. I would not of course give an answer to such inquiries as made by you unless they could be such as could be depended upon. **** My father's name was John Putnam, he was as I have understood from the North of England. His father as we have always understood it, was related to the ancestors of old General Israel Putnam. My older brother, in this city says he had it from my father that he had six brothers, names as follows: Rufus, Richard, George, Samuel, Thomas, and Henry, in all seven. My father and his brother Thomas came to this country together, about forty five years ago. "My father's family consisted of nine children, viz. John, Thomas, George, Abigail, William, Betsey, Hannah, Samuel and Charles, of whom only Thomas, Betsey, and myself remain alive. "My own family consists of a wife and two children. My oldest 's name is John Philhps Putnam, aged seventeen and a half years, in his second year in Yale College. Stands as a student No. 1 in all the class. My other son's name is George and he is a clerk in my store, and does very well and bids fair to make a business man. "My father's brother, Thomas, that came over with him removed from Connecticut to Vermont between thirty and PUTNAM OF HAETPORD, CONN. 119 forty years ago, and has as I understand ten children. I have seen some of them occasionally. I have learned that they were all doing well; the names of some are as follows: Bathsheba, John, Richard, Ariel, Betsey, Henry. Bathsheba is said to be married and resides in or near Boston. John is said to be a printer in Boston. Henry, the last I heard from him was in New York State, a large woolen manufacturer. "My father died some fifteen years ago." The remainder of the letter contains details concerning his brother's family and mention of his visit to Salem the pre ceding year. There is no reason to doubt the statement that John and Thomas Putnam came from the north of England and at the time mentioned in the letter above quoted ; nor need the story of impressment and escape be doubted. In 1894, the writer met a clergyman in Hertfordshire who was perhaps forty years of age, and who remembered an aunt who was a Put nam or the daughter of a Putnam, and whose immediate ancestors had lived in Yorkshire. This was the only person he had ever met who had borne this name. While there is reasonable doubt of exact knowledge of any relationship between this Hartford family and the Connecti cut hero, Israel Putnam, there is as little doubt that the origin of the two families was the same. Perhaps some day one of this family will take sufficient interest to hunt up the connecting links.

(From Americans of Royal Descent, by C. H. Browning.) LOUIS IV., King of France, d. 954, had, by his wife, m. 939, Lady Gerberga de Saxe, d. 968, daughter of Henry I., the Fow ler, Duke of Saxony, and Emperor of Germany, 919 : Charles, Duke op Nether Lorraine and Brabant, heir to the throne of France, but excluded; d. 992. He m. first, Bonn6, Countess d'Arderne, daughter of Ricuinus, Duke of the Moselle, and had: Gerberga de Brabant, Countess of Lorraine, who m. Lam bert I., Count de Mons, and Count de Louvaine, in right of his wife, d. 1015, son of Rainier, third Count of Hainault, and had: Mahaut de Louvaine, who m. Eustace I., Sovereign Count of Boulogne; d. 1049, and had: Eustace II., Sovereign Count of Boulogne, Arderne, etc. He accompanied William of Normandy in his conquest of England, and received grants of many English manors. (See Freeman's Norman Conquest," IV., 129, 744, etc.) He is depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry. He m. first, about 1050-1, Princess Gode, or Godoia, a widow, sister to Edward the Confessor of England. ("Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.") She d. 1054. He m. secondly, in December, 1057 (see Chronicle of William of Malmesbury), Ida, daughter of Godfrey IV. de Bouillon, Duke of Lorraine, d. 1069. Count Eustace took a monk's vow, and his wife became a nun, and d. in a convent, 13 August, 1113. He d. in 109-, having by Lady Ida, six children of record. (See Ellis's "Introduction to Domesday.") Of these were the celebrated Crusaders, Count Godfrey de Bouillon, b. 1060, and Count Baldwin de Boulogne, b. 106-, both Kings of Jerusalem, and Count Eustace III., 6. 1059, who was in the first Crusade with his brothers (Chronicle of Matthew of Paris), who m. the daughter of the King of the (126) 126 history op the putnam family. Scots (see the Chronicle of Pierre de Langtoft), and was the father of the wife of Stephen de Blois, "King of the English." (See "L'Art de Verifier les Dates des Faits Historiques;" "Mon- umenta Germaniae Historica;" "Manuel Histoire de Geneal- ogie et Chronologic;" Anderson's "Royal Genealogies," etc., for above pedigree.) Another son of Count Eustace II. and Lady Ida, was Geoffrey de Boulogne, b. about 1062. It has not been found that he was a Crusader with his brothers, but about 1093-4 he was "in the odour of sanctity," being a monk, according to a letter by the then Archbishop of Canterbury, St. Anselm, to Count Eustace II. (Lady Ida also corresponded with the Arch bishop.) At the instance of his son, "Geoffrey, a monk at Bee" the Archbishop rebuked the Count for bigamy. His wife, Geof frey's mother, had become a nun, and the Count himself had taken a vow, but nevertheless had married again, for the third time. The Archbishop argued that it was unlawful for him to marry in his wife's lifetime, although his wife was a nun. (See Letters of Archbishop Anselm, in Freeman's "William Rufus.") This is a good proof that Eustace II., of Boulogne, had a son, " Goisfridus," or Geoffrey, although he is not mentioned in "L'Art de Verifier," and like works. Geoffrey m. before the Domesday Survey, 1080-86, (as ap pears in "Domesday Book," I., fo. 36, under Aultone, Surrey, "De his hi dis tenet Wesam VI. hidas de Goisfrido filio comitis Eustachii, hanc terram dedit ei Goisfridus de Mannevil cum fiha sua;" see Round's "Feudal England," p. 330, and Ellis's "Domesday"), a daughter, name unknown, of "le Sire de Magnevile," Geoffrey de Mandeville, lord of Aultone, Surrey, one of the heroes of Hastings, who was rewarded with 118 lord ships in England, with his chief seat at Walden, in Essex, and was the first Norman constable of the Tower of London. (See Planche's "The Conqueror and His Companions.") Geoffrey's son, William de Boulogne, d. before 1130. (See "Monasticon Anglicanum," VI., fo. 1017.) Wife's name unknown. His son and heir was: ALLIED FAMILIES. 127 "Faramus de Bolonia de Tingry," in Boulogne, "nobilis et venerandus" lord of Martock, Somersetshire, of Wendover, Bucks., of Cotes, Cambridgeshire, etc. There are numerous references to this man and his distinguished ancestry, in con temporary charters and records. In a charter to St. Mary's Church, Bee Abbey, in Vimeux, 1171, it is related, "Faramus filius Willelmi de Bolonia quam antecessores mei, scilict Gaufri- dus filius comitis Eustachi de Bolonia, avus mea, et Willemus de Bolonia filius ipsius, pater mens, decerunt ecclesia Sanctae Marias Becci." In a charter of King Stephen to Geoffrey de Mandeville, first Earl of Essex, dated Christmas, 1141, he signed "Pharam," as a witness, with eight earls and a bishop, and ac cording to J. H. Round's "Geoffrey de Mandeville," this was "Pharamus fitz William de Boulogne, nepos of the Queen," (but in this and following item, rather the second cousin than the nephew of grandson of Queen Matilda). In this year, 1141, Faramus, or Pharamond, was in joint charge of the king's "fam- ilia," during his captivity: "Rexit antem fabiliam regis Stephani Willelmus d'Ipre, homo Flendrensis, et Pharamus nepos reginae Matildis, et iste Bononiensis." (Sym. Dun., II., 310.) Phara mond retained favor under Henry IL, and is frequently of record in the Pipe Roll, and received sixty pounds annually from the Royal dues in Wendover and Eaton. At this time he held six fees of the honor of Boulogne. He also inherited the marriage portion of his grandfather, in Surrey, and the manor of Carshal- ton, a confiscated estate of Earl Geoffrey, grandson of the first Geoffrey de Mandeville. (See Brayley's "Surrey," IV., 65, and Collinson's "Somersetshire," III., 4, as to his other lands.) Pharamond had, by his wife, Matilda, m. before 1157, a son, William, who d. v. p., and a daughter and heiress, Sybilla de Boulogne de Tyngrie. She m. before 1171, Enguerrand, or Ingelram de Fienles, or Fiennes, a lord in Bou logne, who lost his life at Aeon, 1189. "Faramus de Bolonia alias de Tyngrie cum uxore Matilda et Sibilla filia mea, et here- dibus meis Ingeranno de Fienles et uxore ejus Sibilla filia mea," (Bee Charter, 1171 in Cart. St. Josse, fo. 5, 20). Their son and heir: 128 history of the putnam family. William de Fienes, feudal lord of Martock, Somerset, of which manor he had livery, in 1207-8, on quit claim of his mother.

This Index is in three parts, Part I, General Index, under which will be found Putnam, Putman, etc., with Christian names immediately following ; Part II, Descendants of John Putnam, bearing other names than Putnam; Part III, Marriages, or names of persons married into the Putnam family. PART I. GENERAL INDEX. In preparing this index an attempt has been made to place within reach of the searcher information as to the contents not only of the Lineage, but of the earlier History of the Putnam Family and of the three volumes of the Putnam Leaflets. In order to accomplish this certain rules were adopted which necessitated giving the references in the form found in the index. (1) The references to pages with Roman numerals are to pages in the Lineage numbered i-cliii except when the numeral is starred, in which case the reference is to the History of the Putnam Family, Introductory parts published in 1895. (2) The references in ordinary numerals pp. 7-256 refer to both the Lineage and the History; all references to pages higher than 256 are to the History except when starred, in which case they refer to the Lineage. Notice the reversal in the use of the star or asterisk in this case from its use as explained in paragraph 1 . References in ordinary numerals, pp. 3-6 inclusive, enclosed in parentheses are to the History only, thus (3). Numbers of pagfs 401 to 500 inclusive are to the History, Vol. II (part 8), where the pagination in the original runs from l-IOO. To find the required page substract 400. This was done to avoid the repetition of low numbers. Names occurring twice on a page are entered in the index but once. Therefore it is ad visable to look for a second occurrence of the same name on the page referred to. (3) Numbers in heavy figures refer to the page when the family record of the subject ifl more fully given, thus 77. (4) References to tne Leaflets are preceded by the letters a, b, c, indicating Vol. I, II, III respectively. (5) The Revolutionary War Records, being arranged in alphabetical order, are not in dexed. atte Hay, xlvi. " Putte, c2. Aleyn als.
