Children
Sarah b 25 Oct 1764 in Pomfret (3112, 3113) She d in 1818 (3114).
Israel n 20 Jan 1766 in Pomfret (3115, 3116). He d 9 Mar 1824 in Marietta, Washington, OH (3117). Israel removed to Ohio with his father, Honorable Ephraim Cutler and Colonel Israel, 1795, being 31 days upon the river.

Aaron accompanied his father to Ohio in 1788, and arrived at Marietta after a long and tedious journey full of peril and adventure. While crossing the North River at Fish Kill a severe accident befell the party, but, by the presence of mind of Aaron, his father's oxen upon which so much depended, were saved.
Upon obtaining his land, which fell to him in the middle settlement at Belpre, he immediately commenced clearing. During 1791 the settlers went into garrison and young Putnam shaved the perils of the Indian War during the succeeding four years.
As his clearing was over a mile and a half from the fort, visits to it were of great danger, and twice he narrowly escaped capture by the Indians.
As soon as circumstances permitted Mr Putnam took up his residence on his farm and his chief delight centered in his home. Here he intertained the hosts of friends, among whom were the Blannerhassetts, and when their beautiful home was destroyed by the mob, and Madame Blannerhassett, after her husband's flight, left theisland, Mr Putnam supplied her with money and everything necessary. Indeed he was the last person to visit her.
Mr Putnam had little taste for public office although constantly tendered him. In height he was of medium size, with dark hais and expressive eyes, and an expression beaming with intelligence and good will.
Both he and his wife died during the epidemic of 1822. For further account of his life see Hildreth's Early Settlers of Ohio.

Dr William Pitt Putnam b 11 Dec 1770 in Pomfret (3127, 3128_. He d 8 Oct 1800 in Marietta (3129, 3130). William began the study of medicine when 18 years of age, with Dr, Albigence Waldo, of Pomfret, CT, and also attended the lectures of Warren and Waterhouse, celebrated teachers at Harvard University.

In 1794 he visited Connecticut and returned to Ohio with his father and family and his young wife. Five years later he abandoned his profession and bought 200 acres of land on the Ohio eight miles above Marietta.
