Death: Jan. 14, 1809
Rutland
Worcester County
Massachusetts, USA

Archelaus Putnam, Sergeant, Capt. Jonathan Woodbury's Co., Col. Jacob Davis's reg't.; marched July 30, 1780; discharged Aug. 7, 1780, service 12 days, at Rhode Island on the Alarm, including 4 days travel home; roll dated Sutton; also, Capt. John Howard's Co., Col, Jonathan Holman's reg't.; service 30
days. With Northern Army at the time of the reduction of Gen. Burgoyne; mileage for 295 miles allowed said Putnam; warrant for pay allowed in council May 4, 1778.

["Massachusetts Soldiers & Sailors of the Revolutionary War," Vol. 12 Pg. 859 / Prepared & Published by the Sec. of the Commonwealth/ Boston, 1904]

Archelaus purchased land and buildings on the shore of Demond (Evens') Pond in Rutland from Wm. & John McClanathan, in 1795. The sale of nearly 300 acres for 800 pds. was registered 30 April. We can presume Archelaus and Sarah moved from Sutton to the farm in Rutland soon afterward, as he was listed as the owner and occupant of 40 perches valued at $190 in the Massachusetts and Maine 1798 Direct Tax listing.

[In land area measurement, there are 160 perches in one acre. The perch is a unit of measurement used in the English system, while the acre is used in the U.S. customary and imperial systems.]

Edward Putnam and his wife were dismissed from the church in Middleton to the church in Sutton, in 1744. It is presumed that either in 1742 or 1743, he had established his home there; there are evidences of his having been in Sutton as early as 1737, although he was taxed in Middleton as late as 1739.
The original farm where Edward first settled is now owned by a descendant, Mrs. Harriet Augusta Putnam, wife of Peter Holland Putnam, a great granddaughter of Edward's youngest son, Asa, having inherited the farm from her father, Bradford Putnam. On page 225 of the History of Sutton, there is a wood-cut of the house now standing on the place." (Eben Putnam, History of the Putnam Family, Vol 1, pp. 155-56)

Jonas T Putnam, a prosperous dairyman of Spencer, was born in Rutland, Mass., July 15, 1835, son of Andrew and Nancy (Wooard) Putnam. His first Anerican ancestor, it is said, was one of three brothers who emigrated from England and settled in Salem, Mass. Captain Archelaus Putnam, great grandfather of Jonas, was born in Sutton in 1744, and moved to Rutland in 1795, where he resided until his death in 1809. He served in the Revolutionary War. Mr Putnam's grandfather, Andrew Putnam, was a native of Sutton. Andrew Putnam, the father, moved in 1843 from Rutland, his native town, to Spencer and in 1850 he located upon the farm which is now owned by his son Jonas. His death occurred in 1856. Of his children there are four sons and two daughters living. One of the daughters married William Hatch, Of Rutland and the other became the wife of Lorenzo Watson, of Spencer. The sons all resided in Spencer, namely, Jonas T., Andrew E., Austin G, and Archelaus D.
Jonas T Putnam, who has resided here since his early boyhood, received his education in the district school. When a young man he followed the shoemaker's trade for a time, but at the age of twenty-one, on account of his father's death, he relinquished it in order to take charge of the homestead farm, which he has since carried on. He owns one hundred and eight acreas of fertile land, which he devotes chiefly to dairy purposes, and his energy has been attended with prosperous results. Politically, Mr Putnam is a Republican. He was one of the organizers of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Association of Spencer, and for a number of years served upon the Executive Committee. He attends and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mr Putnam married Elizabeth C. Sampson, daughter of the late Francis Sampson, of West Brookfield, and a descendant on the paternal side of one of the early settlers at Plymouth. He has two daughters - Martha A and Mary W.
====================
Eben and some databases have a son, Abner, but others do not: I think this was son in law to Archelaus and Sarah and not their child. I think this Abner married Archelaus daughter, Amy. He was son of David and Elizabeth Woodbury Putnam of Sutton.
If Amy died 7 Nov 1834
