Killed during the Rev War. The vital record reads "killed in the Engagement with the Regulars ay Menotomy." He was buried on 21 Apr 1775 in Medford, Middlesex, MA (1433). On pages 142 and 267 of the Middlesex Sessions Rolls of 1766, it is recorded that Henry Putnam, wife Hannah, sons Roger, Billings, Benjamin, Henry and Joseph and a negro girl Flora, were warned from the town of Medford, MA in Middlesex county on Dec 12, 1765. Uo to now we have known the dates of birth and baptism for sons Roger (1743), Billings (1749), and Benjamin (1751). And although there is disagreement over the date of birth of son Henry, we know he was baptized in 1753. All four sond are recorded so in the Salem and DAnvers vital records. However, the last named son, Joseph, has up until now been unknown of. I have recently dicovered further documentation of this Joseph, the 8th son of Henry and Hannah. Henry was at the outbreak of the Revolution living with his son at West Cambridge. He was a sergeant at the campture of Louisburg.
