Individual Details
Dexter Putnam
(14 Nov 1813 - )
Dexter Erastus Putnam
BIRTH 14 Oct 1813Sutton, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA
DEATH 28 Feb 1896 (aged 82)Putnam County, Missouri, USA
BURIAL Torrey CemeteryPutnam County, Missouri, USA
MEMORIAL ID 135372115
Last seen in 1880 census in York, Putnam Co., MO. Here he is in 1870 with wife and children:
Dexter Putnam 56
R T Putnam 49
Adelbert Putnam 28
Ellen L Putnam 20
Ada E Putnam 17
Edgar Putnam 15
Alice C Putnam 13
Cora L Putnam 11
Llewyllen Putnam 9
A D Putnam 6
Hannah Putnam 22
Willis Putnam 2
Amy E Putnam 2/12
Not positive he's in this cemetery, but all his family is, and he was in this area when he died, somewhere between 1880 and 1900. Since his wife died in 1887 and no mention of him surviving her, I'd guess he died between 1880-1887. He's probably in this cemetery.
I also wanted to connect Dexter Putnam with his mother which I believe is Ama (Amy or Anna) Putnam (maiden name) and Putnam (married name). I've been doing much research and in my ancestry.com records I find all three of these names for her, but all three names are married to the same man and same vital dates, same child, Dexter. I'd like to connect #150224044 as Dexter Erastus Putnam (born 1813 from Massachusetts, Town and Vital records) The record in Find-a-Grave says he's born in 1815, but I have the whole date 14 Oct 1813, actually from two sources and one source also says 14 Nov 1813, so it's a bit vague still. But he also named his son Dexter Evander Putnam, so we don't want to be confused with him. I started my journey with a list my Great Grandfather Charles Blair wrote and he listed his mother's (Adah E.) parents as Dexter Erastus Putnam and Ruby Torrey Putnam, both born in Massachusetts.
