Individual Details
Timothy PUTNAM
(10 Jan 1726 - 1756)
[v13t2652.FTW]
Timothy Putnam joined the church 27 April, 1755; this was probably about the time he married. He held a few minor town offices previous to 1755. On 8 March, 1756, he was elected tythingman.
In 1755 an Ensign Timothy Putnam reported the details of his scout near Lake Champlain to Captain Rogers. This Timothy ?
Various Danvers historians have stated that Timothy was a Tory, probably because his descendants are now resident in Nova Scotia. Such could not be the case as he died in 1756.; his father's will made in 1769 does not mention him. His widow had formerly been wife of Caleb Putnam (No. 417) and by him had three sons. After the death of Timothy Putnam she married Richard Upham.
The present family of Putnam in Nova Scotia, settled principally in Truro, are descended from American Loyalists, which only shows how superficial evidence can distort genealogy and history.
