Jonas T Putnam, a prosperous dairyman of Spencer, was born in Rutland, Mass., July 15, 1835, son of Andrew and Nancy (Wooard) Putnam. His first Anerican ancestor, it is said, was one of three brothers who emigrated from England and settled in Salem, Mass. Captain Archelaus Putnam, great grandfather of Jonas, was born in Sutton in 1744, and moved to Rutland in 1795, where he resided until his death in 1809. He served in the Revolutionary War. Mr Putnam's grandfather, Andrew Putnam, was a native of Sutton. Andrew Putnam, the father, moved in 1843 from Rutland, his native town, to Spencer and in 1850 he located upon the farm which is now owned by his son Jonas. His death occurred in 1856. Of his childre there are four sons and two daughters living. One of the daughters married William Hatch, Of Rutland and the other became the wife of Lorenzo Watson, of Spencer. The sons all resided in Spencer, namely, Jonas T., Andrew E., Austin G, and Archelaus D.
Jonas T Putnam, who has resided here since his early boyhood, received his education in the district school. When a young man he followed the shoemaker's trade for a time, but at the age of twenty-one, on account of his father's death, he relinquished it in order to take charge of the homestead farm, which he has since carried on. He owns one hundred and eight acreas of fertile land, which he devotes chiefly to dairy purposes, and his energy has been attended with prosperous results. Politically, Mr Putnam is a Republican. He was one of the organizers of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Association of Spencer, and fora number of years served upon the Executive Committee. He attends and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mr Putnam married Elizabeth C. Sampson, daughter of the late Francis Sampson, of West Brookfield, and a descendant on the paternal side of one of the early settlers at Plymouth. He has two daughters - Martha A and Mary W.
