John Putnam
(26 Mar 1657 - Sep 1722)
====
Eben p 56: "John Putnam's farm was in that part of Danvers west of Hathorne's hill near the log bridge across Ipswich River, The farm was then owned by George H. Peabody, Esq. In this immediate vicinity his cousins Deacon Edward and Sergeant Thomas Putnam, lived. John Putnam was known as "Carolina John", and as "John Putnam, junior." During thee witchcraft excitement, he was constable, and, of course, must have taken a more or less active part in the proceedings. At one time, Mercy Lewis, one of the "Afflicted girls" had been living in his house as a servant and in May, 1692, he testifies, apparently in good faith, as to a fit she had when bewitched. It was at a church meeting at his house in 1698 that several of the wronged members of the church again met with the majority and all agreed to live in "love together". This occurred a week after the ordination of the Rev. Joseph Green.
Besides the office of constable, John Putnam was frequently tything man, surveyor of highways, especially towards Ipswich Roas, and was appointed to other minor positions.
In his will dated 30 Nov 1721, he appoints Ebenezer and Thomas Putnam overseers; mentions his wife Hannah, sons Samuel, Josiah, John, Joshua, Amos, his son Isaac Buxton; daughters Pricilla, Abigail, Sarah, and Rebecca Putnam, and Elisa Phelps.
His will was proved 1 Oct 1722."
