Jeptha Putnam probably moved to Sutton as early or earlier than 1725. On 26 Dec 1723, John Hutchinson of Salem, husbandman, sold for 150 pounds, to Jeptha Putnam of Salem, carpenter, a farm of 129 acres, more or less, of said farm being in thown of Sutton. This grant bounded on the west on Cornelius Putnam's land. This deed was done at Salem; but on 14 Dec 1726, Jeptha Putnam " of Sutton or living on the farm formerly Mr. Davenport's of Boston that adjoins to the town of Sutton" for 80 pounds, sells to Isaac Putnam pf Topsfield, yeoman, thirty-three acres of Davenport's farm which bounded on said Isaac's land. This was done at Sutton and Elisha Putnam and Jonathan Fuller were witnesses. Both Jeptha and his wife Ruth were admitted to the church at Sutton, 6 Oct 1728. His son Fuller inherited the farm and lived there.
