Eleazer Putnam was born about 1668 in Salem Village, Essex, MA (395). The following note suggests Eleazer may have been born in 1668: On Jan the 25th 1732/33 Eleazor Putnam Departed this Leife about 16 minutes after 3 Ox the clock in the afternoon in ye 65 year of his age." Additionally, he was not baptized with the rest of his siblings on 14 July 1667. He died on 25 Jan 1732/33 in Salem Village (396, 397). In the possession of the family in Cortland, NY, are papers once the property of Henry (born 1712) and among them is the following account of his immediate relatives which is continued from the above account of Eleazer's death.
...Mother Died Jany 2nd 1752 between 7 & 8 in ye morn"
Again
"The age of Hannah is 50 in 1749.
The age of Elenzer is 54.
The age of Jeptha is 30
The age of Samuel is 43."
50 and 30 are undoubtedly misreadings by my corrospondent for 60 and 50.
Eleazer Putnam lived in Danvers and was prominent in town and church affairs than his brother James. He settled on a farm north of the Gen. Israel Putnam house and near the Topsfirld boundary on the Preston place. He was a farmer and probably well off.
Eleazer and Hannah Putnam were admitted to the church in Salem Village, 7 May 1699, and on 31 Jan 1717-18, he was made deacon of this church. In 1700 he was chosen tythingman for the Village and again in 1705. He was constable during the year 1708 and surveyor of highways on Topsfield road in 1711.
In 1690 Eleazer Putnam had been in Captain William Raymond's company enlisted for the "Canada Expedition". The General Court thought so well of his command that in 1725 a grant of land was made to the officiers and soldiers, or their heirs, in Merrimack. Afterward this grant, being found to be in New Hampshire, was located on the Saco river. During the witchcraft delusion Eleazer Putnam "drew his rapier" and punched at an Imaginary devil or two which seemed to be torturing one of the afflicted girls. Accoding to the ancient depositions his thrusts were as effective against the witch as against the French and Indians a couple of years before.
His will dated 3 Oct 1732 and probated 9 Apr 1733; in it he mentions his wife Elizabeth, his daughter Hannah Peabody and her children, Nathan, Hannah and Elizabeth; his sons Eleazer and Jeptha and daughter Apphiah Putnam; his sons Samuel and Henry to be executors. An inventory of the estate was returned by Samuel Putnam, executor, 22 Jan 1733/34.
He was married to Hannah Boardman (daughter of Daniel Boardman and Hannah Hutchinson) before 1694 in Salem Village (398, 399).
HannahBoardman was born on 18 Feb 1670/71 in Ipswich, Essex, MA (400). She died before 1711. Ancestors used the name Bowman or Borman. Daughter of Daniel and Hannah (Hutchinson) Boardman. "16 Sept 1694, Hannah Putnam, once Borman or Dorman her daughter Hannah bapt"; "Borman or Dorman," the town clerk of Topsfield at that time wrote the name Dorman. The head of the family in question signed his name Bowman or Borman. His descendants now spell their name Boardman. Nathaniel Boardman mentions in his will his cousins Putnam and among them Henry Putnam of Charlestown. Eleazer and Hannah had the following children:
Hannah Putnam
Eleazer Putnam
Sarah Putnam was born on 26 Sep 1697 (401)
Jeptha Putnam
