            6.   Sarah.  She was born in 1835 and married Stephen Judd.

            7.   Henry.  Henry was born in 1838.  The following from ---------------- gives a trustworthy description of the family:

            Henry Putman, of Wilson, is truly a self-made man, who has built ships and navigated the waters all his life, until, within the last few years, he has been engaged in the manufacture of woodenware.  He is a son of Daniel and Sarah (Renshaw) Putman, and was born in 1838 at Somerset, Niagara County, New York.  Daniel Putman (father) was

born in the town of Schenectady, Schenectady County, this State, in 1795, and died February 17, 1878, in the town of Wilson, in the eighty-third year of his age.  He was a cooper by trade, and followed that occupation all his life.  He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and saw something of pioneer life and the red men.  Upon returning form hunting they either wanted his ammunition or what game he had, and he generally gave them the game, as powder was scarce, and without it there was little security.  He was an old-line Whig, but on the formation of the Republican party he became a democrat.  He married Sarah Renshaw, a native of England, who was brought to this country when but five months old.  To them were born twelve children, eight of whom are living:  Elizabeth, the oldest, married Laman Clark, and lives in Michigan;  Hannah, married Samuel Robinson, of Illinois;  Charlotte, married Abram Lake;  Clarissa, married Richard McCracken;  Sarah, married Steven Worden, and resides at Wilson; Jane and Henry.  Mrs. Putman died on August 8, 1891, in the eight-sixth year of her age.

            Henry Putman came to the town of Wilson when a mere boy, where he received a very limited education. At the early age of seventeen years, he went to navigating, which he followed until 1895.  He built three vessels, being captain of one of them for five years, and afterward built one without assistance, of which he was captain for one year.  After leaving the water, in 1885, he erected his present manufacturing establishment.  He manufactures bushel measures, pickets for fencing, and headings for barrels.  He employs several hands and does a large business.

            In  politics Henry Putman is an aggressive democrat, who believes in no half-way political measures, and who has always been an active worker for the success of democratic principles.  He is member of Lodge N. 331, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and is one of the energetic and successful business men of his community.

            4.   Abraham.  Abraham Bottman was born in Schoharie Co., New York, 24 August 1804 and baptized 10 October 1816 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Stone Arabia, Montgomery Co., New York.  His sponsors were Johanna and Barbara Bottmann.  At the time of Abraham's baptizm, his parents, Christopher and Elizabeth, were residents of Currytown, New York.

            5.   Poss. Belch.  He was born in Washington Co., New York, in 1806 and married Sarah born in 1809 in Esssex Co., New York. 

            6.   Prob. Polly.  Polly was born in Canada in 1809 and maried William Fenton who was born in 1804 in VT.

                        Children:

                        1.   Diana.  She was born in 1838 in Niagara Co., New York.

                        3.   Charlotte.  She was born in 1855.

            7.   Prob. Henry.  Henry was born in 1814 in Canada.  He married a Sally and lived in Niagara Co. during the 1830 New York Census.  Henry may have been the father of Perry Putman, a cousin of Daniel Putnam, who was  born 1797 in Schoharie Co., New York.  In the 1850 New York Census, Henry and Sally had a son Peleg.  It may be that Peleg was later called Perry.  According to Perry's death certificate, Henry married Sarah Gordan.  Again possibly Sarah was Sally.  It appears that Sally died before the 1860 New York Census because Henry was then living in the home of Polly and William Fenton, Perry lived in the home of Mr. Ide in Wilson, Niagara Co., and Henry and Sally's daughters lived eslewhere.  It appears the family broke up after the death of Sally.

                        Children:

                        2.   Perry.  Perry Putman was born 24 December 1837 in New York and lived in Wilson, Niagara Co., New York, during the 1860 New York Census.  He married Martha Alvers.  She was a daughter of Alexander Alvers an early settler of Wilson, Niagara Co., New York, who came to the U. S. from France.  Perry and Martha removed to Isabella Co., Michigan, in 1877.  Perry died there 19 January 1903 in Gilmore.

     Probably before the War of 1812, Phillip and Lucretia removed to Canada, but during the war returned to the U. S.  In the War of 1812, Phillip served in the Detached      Artillery, Metcalfe's Co., New York Militia.

     By 1830, Philip and Christina were living near Lasselville in the town of Oppenhiem, Montgomery Co., New York, and by 1840 they had removed to Three Mile Bay, Jefferson Co.

            2.   Sarah Ann.  Sarah was born in 1808 in New York, and in 1832 she married Jeremiah Selter.   The Gazetteer of Jefferson Co., New York, records the following:

            Henry Selter, a native of Germany, and a tailor by trade, came to America at the time of the Revolutionary War, and engaged in making clothes for the soldiers.  He first located in Westfield, MA, where he remained many years, finally removing to St. Johnsville, New York, where he died, aged over 80 years.  He had three children, Jonathan, Henry, and Zeviah.  Jonathan was born in Westfield, MA, and in 1833 came to [the town of Lyme] on the north shore of Chaumont Bay, on a farm on road 50, where he remained until his death in 1858, aged 78 years.  He married Nancy Bellinger, and their children were Josiah, Zeviah, Mary A., Elizabeth, and Jeremiah.  The later married Sarah A., daughter of Philip and Lucretia (Nobles) Putnam, of Oppehnheim, New York, and their children were Zeviah, Jonathan, Aaron, Josiah, Henry M. and Elizabeth.  His wife died 8 December 1886, aged 78 years.  [Jeremiah resided] on the homestead farm on Road 50 . . . ..  (571)

Israel Putnam.  The obituary reads:

            Deforest Putnam died in Cape Vincent, Saturday, Feb. 24.  He was born December 26, 1848, at Three Mile Bay, the son of Jacob and Louisa Gunn Putnam.  He was a descendant of General Israel Putnam of Revolutionary fame; also of Abijah Putnam, one of the earliest settlers of the town of Cape Vincent, who located in 1801 two miles below the present village, at a place known as Port Putnam, where he established the first ferry to Wolfe Island.  Deforrest Putnam was graduated from Belleville Academy and went into the mercantile business at Three Mile Bay and later at Clayton.  For the last 15 years, he was engaged at farming on the St. Lawrence River, near Sand Bay, moving to Cape Vincent in August of last year.  Although Mr. Putnam has not been well for a year or more, his last illness was a brief one . . . ..

ANNA (Arent, David, Arent, Johannes)

     Anna Putman, daughter of Arent Putman and Delilah Fox, was baptized 22 August 1783 Dutch Reformed Church of Caughnawaga.  According to an early letter written by De Witt Putman, a daughter of Arent and Delilah Putman married John Klock.  Since Nancy was sometimes used for Anna, it seems  very likely that Nancy Putman who married John J. Klock, Jr., was Arent and Delilia Putman's daughter.

     John Klock's first, wife Elizabeth Lampman, died 30 November 1798.  His second wife, Elizabeth Nellis died 10 February 1809.  John married third Nancy Putman.

     The following article by Gladys Grantinski depicts John Klock:

     John Klock was born 8 December 1773 in Johannes' [Klock] house and died 20 December 1852.  He was buried near Narrows, Black Lake, in the town of Morristown, New York.  As a boy, he witnessed the horrors that confronted those who lived in the --- of the ruthless mob of Tories and Indians.  He saw service in the War of 1812 and was stationed at Sackets Harbor [Jefferson Co.] and later at Odgensburg, New York.  He was known as Major after the war although no proof has been established that he ever held the rank of major.  Tradition in the family is that while stationed at Sackets Harbor, his son Abraham, then but a boy in his early teens, rode a horse from Johannes' house to Sacket's Harbor for the use of his father.  If this be true, then no doubt he was a non-commissioned officer of some sort.  In the year 1836, or '37, he removed to St. Lawrence Co., New York, where he purchased a large tract of timber land on the west shore of Black Lake, which became known as Klock's Bush in later years . . . ..  With his wife Elizabeth Nellis, came Abraham, Daniel and Christian; by his third wife, Nancy Putnam, sons Isaac, Jacob, Luther.  All those by the second wife had offspring who were born in the Mohawk Valley.  John Klock, Jr.'s, tombstone bears the inscription "John Klock" without the middle initial as do records in the Sand Hill Church books extant in the Utica Library, Utica, New York, as well as those of the St. Johnsville Reformed Church where his name and that of one of his wives appear.  Nancy Putnam, the third wife was buried at the "Cedars,"  Black Lake . . . ..

     A few Mohawk Valley Putmans claimed to be relatives of Gen. Isreal Putnam, and it appears some of Arent and Deliah Putman's d escendants were part of this group.  The Gratinski article also said Nancy Putman was the daughter of Capt. Isaac Putnam the brother of Gen. Israel Putnam.  Isaac Putnam was born in 1698 about hundred years before Nancy, or Anna, was born.  So, Nancy could not have been Isaac's daughter.  The obituary of DeForrest Putnam, Nancy' assumed great-nephew (Philip's grandson), also incorrectly said DeForrest descended from Gen. Putnam.

     Ironically, it appears that John Klock, Jr., and Nancy Putman were second cousins.  Catherine Folts, John Klock, Jr.'s mother, was a cousin of Delilah Fox, Nancy's assumed mother (Mohawk Valley Petries).

     The Gradinski article on John Klock stated Nancy Putman was born 21 March 1784 and died 21 March 1861.  Another article on "the Life of Joihn J. Klock" says that Nancy Putman was born 15 June 1783 and died 21 March 1861, which seems correct.

            Children:

            1.   Dorothy.   Dorothy was born in 1810 and died in 1859.  She married Ira Nellis.

            2.   Isaac.   He was born in 1812 and died in 1876.  Isaac married Lany Ann Nellis the daughter of John P. Nellis.

            3.   Jacob.  

            4.   Margaret.  She was born in Oppenheim, New York, in 1815.  She married Joseph Weaver who was born 14 July 1813 and died 11 June 1902.  Margaret died 5 February 1888 age 73 years and was buried at Cedars Cemetery, Black Lake, New York.

                        5.   Lorenzo.  1857-58.

            6.   Luther.   Luther was born in 1819 and died in 1903.  He married Zelpha Ann.

            7.   Peter.

MARITIE (Arent, David, Arent, Johannes)

     Maritje, or Mary, Putman was baptized 11 July 1785 at the age of 3 weeks at the Dutch Reformed Church of Caughnawaga, Fonda, New York.  He parents were Arent Putman and Delilah Fox, and Delilah's sister was a sponsor.

     Arent and Deliah Putman had two daughters:  Anna, or Nancy; and Marite.  According to an early letter written by De Witt Putman, one of Arent's daughters married John Klock and the other married Mr. Weaver.  If Anna married John Klock, as believed, then Mary Putman married a Weaver.

DAVID V. (Victor, David, Arent, Johannes)

     David V. Putman was born 1 March 1783 and baptized 14 April 1783 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Caughnawaga, Fonda, New York.  His sponsors were Arent D. and Delilah Putman.

         Children:

            1.   Frederick Smith?

LEWIS V. (Victor, David, Arent, Johannes)

     Lodowyck, or Lewis, Putman was baptized 6 June 1785 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Caughnawaga, Fonda, New York.  Lewis lived in an area of Root, Montgomery Co., New York, that was probably called "Putman's Land," and this area was probably once a part of the Canajoharrie.  At present, I don't know who Lewis Putman's wife was, but she probably died 1850 because she was not listed in Lewis V. Putman's household during the 1850 New York Census.

     According to the Land Records of Montgomery Co., "March 1, 1811, Bartholomew Van Alstine and Nancy, his wife of Canajoharry, and Lewis Putman of Canajohary, purchased an equal 1/3 part of the lot purchased by John Van Alstyne, Bartholomew Van Alstyne, and Mathew I.

ARENT V. (Victor, David, Arent, Johannes)

     Aaron V. Putman was born in 1790 in New York.  He appears to have been a son of Victor D. and Maria Schell Putman.  Landmarks of Steuben Co. says Aaron was a grandson of David Putman and served in the War of 1812.  Aaron married Mary, or Polly, Rose 20 May 1821 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Stone Arabia.  Polly was born in 1800 in New York.

     Aaron was a blacksmith, and in 1832 he removed with his family to Prattsburg, Steuben Co., New York, where he plied his trade in connection with farming 130 acres.  Aaron and Polly were both members of the Ingelside Grande, in which they both held offices.  Both lived until the age of 84.  Aaron died in 1874; Polly died in 1884.

ABRAHAM V. (Victor, David, Arent, Johannes)

     Abraham V. Putman was born in "Canajoharie," Montgomery Co. and was probably a son of Victor D. and Marie Schell Putman.  Victor and Maria then lived in Root, Montgomery Co., New York, then part of Canajoharie.

     Abraham's date of birth is not known.  The 1850 New York Census of Onondaga Co. says that Abraham V. Putman was born in 1785; however, it appears Abraham was born in 1792 or 1793, because his obituary, a biography of his son George, the 1840 New York Census, the 1860 New York Census, and the 1865 New York State Census concur with that date.

     Much of what we known about Abraham V. Putman comes from Onondaga's Centennial:

     Abraham was . . . a native of Montgomery Co., born in Canajoharie in 1793 and came to Onondaga Co., [New York] in 1836.  He was a farmer and was engaged on various farms in Tully, Spafford, and Marcellus.  He died in Manlius in March 1874.  His wife, Hannah Van Alstine, was also a native of Montgomery Co.  They had eight children . . . ..

     Hannah probably died before 1850 because census takers did not list her in Abraham's household that year.  Abraham Putman died in Manlius, Onondaga Co., 27 April 1873.  The Weekly Recorder, Fayetteville, New York, printed a short obituary that read:  "Deaths--Putman--In this village April 27, 1873, Abraham V. Putnam, aged 81 years." (Sue Kendrick, 1994)

            Children:

            1.   Cornelia.  She was born in 1824 in New York.

            2.   Mary Ann.  She was born in 1826 in New York.

                        2.   George Augustus.  He was born June 1860 in CA, married Grace Brackett, and died 28 October 1912.  For a detail history of this family see History of Contra Costa Co., California.

            5.   Charlotte.  She was born in 1833 in New York.

            6.   Esther.  Esther was born in 1835 in New York.

            7.   Susan.  Susan was born in 1837 in New York and died after 1922.

            8.   George W.  George was born 30 April 1839 in Tully, Onondaga Co., New York and married, probably second, Caroline Bellinger, 14 March 1871 in Mapletown, Montgomery Co., New York.  Caroline, born 5 November 1838, was the daugther of William I. Bellinger, a Col. of the 138 New York Militia, and Eliza Putman (Mohawk Valley Bellingers).  George had no children although he was married twice.  Onondaga's Centennial records:

            George W. Putman, Manilus, was born in the town of Tully, April 30, 1839. Abraham, his father, was a native of Montgomery Co. . . .  George W., the youngest [son of Abraham and Hannah Putman], was educated in the common schools and a select school, then engaged in farming.  He was 15 years old when his parents moved to Marcellus, where he lived until 1867, when they moved to Manilus.  In 1874, Mr. Putnam bought a farm of 30 acres in the town, which is devoted wspecially to the cultivation of fruit.  Mr Putnam has been collector, constable, and in 1882 was appointed deputy sheriff.  In 1892, he was elected on the high license ticket to the office of excise commissioner.  In 1871, Mr. Putnam married Caroline Bellinger of Montgomery Co.  He and his family are members of the Methodist Church of Fayetteville.

            George died suddenly while visiting his sister Mrs. Martin in Ithaca, New York.  His obituary in the Fayetteville Bulletin, 29 December 1922, said:

            Mr. Putnam was a well known farmer of the High Bridge Rd., having owned several farms in the same neighborhood.  He served several years as town assessor and was prominent in affairs of the Methodist Church.

            Caroline died in October 1909.  Both George W. and Caroline Bellinger Putman were buried at Fayetteville Cemetery.
