Eben p 156: Edward Putnam and his wife were dismissed from the church in Middleton to the church in Sutton in 1744. Either in 1742 or 43, he established his home in Sutton. There is evidence that he was in Sutton as early as 1737, although he was taxed in Middleton as late as 1739.
The original farm where he first settled became 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 p 223 of the History of Sutton, there is a wood-cut of the house then standing on the place.

====================
Sutton was farmed by men of the middle class. Men of moderate means, who would have obtained a good living in any place where there was work for the hands inured to toil. They were men who knew what it was to go out into the wilderness and fell trees, build houses, farm, found schools and churches, establish civil government and put in operation the various forces by which social order is maintained and social progress made. They were equal to the work. They were not what may be called educated men, and yet they were not ignorant. They had good common sense, sound judgement and strong purpose. They knew what the rights of men are, and possessed the independence to assert and the will to maintain them.

Eben p 156: Edward Putnam and his wife were dismissed from the church in Middleton to the church in Sutton in 1744. Either in 1742 or 43, he established his home in Sutton. There is evidence that he was in Sutton as early as 1737, although he was taxed in Middleton as late as 1739.
The original farm where he first settled became 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 p 223 of the History of Sutton, there is a wood-cut of the house then standing on the place.

====================
Sutton was farmed by men of the middle class. Men of moderate means, who would have obtained a good living in any place where there was work for the hands inured to toil. They were men who knew what it was to go out into the wilderness and fell trees, build houses, farm, found schools and churches, establish civil government and put in operation the various forces by which social order is maintained and social progress made. They were equal to the work. They were not what may be called educated men, and yet they were not ignorant. They had good common sense, sound judgement and strong purpose. They knew what the rights of men are, and possessed the independence to assert and the will to maintain them.
