Excerpt from Life of Rufus Putnam: With Extracts From His Journal, and an Account of the First Settlement in Ohio
John Putnam came from Buckinghamshire, England, Anno Domini 1634, and settled in Salem, Massachusetts. He brought three sons with him, viz.: Thomas, Nathaniel and John. He, that is the father, died at the age of eighty years, very suddenly. He ate his supper, went to prayer in his family, and died before he went to sleep.
Edward Putnam, grandson of the first John, gives the above account in a manuscript dated 1733, himself being then seventy-nine years of age, and adds: "From these three proceeded twelve males; from these twelve, forty males; and from these forty, eight-two males. There were none of the name of Putnam in New England but those of this family." "With respect to their situation in life," he remarks, "I can say with the Psalmist: 'I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread,' except of God, who provides for all. For God had given to the generations of my fathers, Agar's petition - 'neither poverty nor riches' - but hath fed us with food convenient for us, and their children have been able to help others in their need. The third generation have all gone to their account but three, and he that gives this account is one of them, aged seventy-nine years."
In 1741, at the age of eighty-seven, he gives the names of the following heads of families of the fourth generation, viz.: Edward, Elisha, Joseph, Ezra, Isaac, Nathaniel, Daniel, Benjamin, Tarrent, Cornelius, Stephen, Israel, Thomas, Edward, Archelaus, Joseph, Samuel, John, Amos, Josiah, James, Caroline, Jethro, John, Jonathan, Henry, Holyoak, Jacob, William, David, Ely, Joshua, Henry - 32.
