http://biographiks.com/pleasant/salem.htm#1416
Nathaniel's son Capt. Benjamin Putnam (708) was head of the Putnam family after his father's death. He served in Danvers as church clerk in 1705 and as deacon for nine years beginning in 1709. He first married Elizabeth Tarrant (709), then Sarah Holten. In 1872, his land was owned by "Miss Goodhue, near Sam Wallis' farm." Benjamin's son, also named Benjamin, was the father of Eunice Putnam (177), who married Francis Nourse II (176) on March 13, 1741 in Salem, MA, uniting the families of the accusers and the accused. Alice Putnam, a dear cousin of Ruth O'Bryan, was also the daughter of a Nourse and a Putnam (and also descended from Nathaniel's son Benjamin). So Alice and Ruth were not only first cousins, they were also 7th cousins and 6th cousins once removed.
