He was representative to the General Court, town clerk and treasurer, besides holding many minor offices.
In 1730 he was admitted to the church and chosen deacon in 1731, General Rufus Putnam in his memoirs fo the Putnam family says, “In justice to the character of my father I ought to mention that he was much respected as a citizen and a Christian.”
The Rev. Dr. Hall in his diary says that “Deacon Elisha Putnam was a very useful man in the civil and ecclesiastical concerns of the place. He was for several years deacon of the church, town clerk, town treasurer and representative in the General Court, or Colonial Assembly of Massachusetts. He died in June, 1745, in the joyful hope of the glory of God.”
The farm upon which Elisha Putnam settled in Sutton is the place now (1891) known as the "Freeland Estate". The remains of the old cellar were still to be seen a few years ago (late 1800's). The house, which succeeded the first house, was a fine specimen of the colonial mansion and was built to resemble the house of an English nobleman.

Elisha Putnam
Rand/Putnam Notes:
www.access1.net/rmputnam/d951.htm
Elisha Putnam was born on 3 Nov 1685 in Salem Village, Essex CO, MA. (540) (541) He died on 10 Jan 1745/46 in Sutton, Worcester CO, MA. (542) Deacon Elisha Putnam married first at Salem, 10 Feb, 1710, Hannah Marble of Salem.
Elisha of Topsfield, husbandman, Jonathan Kenny of Boxford, do., Joseph White of Salem, joyner, Josiah White of Salem, husbandman, Samuel White of Salem, do., Samel Carril of Boxford, cooper, buy of William Wait of Sutton, husbandman, and Abiel his wife for L658, five hundred acres of land in the Nipmug country, being the northern half of the grant of 1000 acres to Colonel Elisha Hutchinson and Isaac Addington by the General Court in 1713. One week afterward Elisha and Susannah Putnam, Jonathan and Rebecca Kenny, Joseph and Beatrix White, Josiah White, Samuel and Dinah White, Samuel and Rebecca Carril, mortgage the same tract to Thomas Hutchinson of Boston for L600. The mortgage to run until 10 Aug 1723. This mortgage was witnessed by Jonathan, William and Anna Fuller. (Vol. 34, p. 239, Suffolk Deeds)
Of the above, Elisha Putnam, Jonathan Kenny, Josiah White and Samuel Carriel, settled in Sutton. Exactly at which date Elisha Putnam took up his abode in Sutton is not known; probably in 1725, perhaps in 1723. Isaac Putnam and Jeptha Putnam bought land in Sutton about 1723 and settled there. Nathaniel and Stephen Putnam bought land there in 1726.
In the year 1726, the name of Putnam first appears on Sutton Records, and the particular mention is that of Elisha Putnam being appointed one of the committee to treat with their minister, an important matter to our ancestors. From this time to his death Elisha Putnam was prominent in church and town affairs. He had the executive ability which his father had shown in Danvers; and the people of Sutton, realizing this, honored him in many ways. He was representative to the General Court, town clerk and treasurer, besides holding many minor offices.
In 1730 he was admitted to the church and chosen deacon in 1731, General Rufus Putnam in his memoirs fo the Putnam family says, “In justice to the character of my father I ought to mention that he was much respected as a citizen and a Christian.”
The Rev. Dr. Hall in his diary says that “Deacon Elisha Putnam was a very useful man in the civil and ecclesiastical concerns of the place. He was for several years deacon of the church, town clerk, town treasurer and representative in the General Court, or Colonial Assembly of Massachusetts. He died in June, 1745, in the joyful hope of the glory of God.”
The farm upon which Elisha Putnam settled in Sutton is the place now (1891) known as the "Freeland Estate". The remains of the old cellar were still to be seen a few years ago (late 1800's). The house, which succeeded the first house, was a fine specimen of the colonial mansion and was built to resemble the house of an English nobleman.
He was married to Hannah Marble on 10 Feb 1710/11 in Salem, Essex CO, MA. (543) (544)
He was married to Susanna Fuller (daughter of Jonathan Fuller and Susanna Trask) on 15 Feb 1713/14 in Salem, Essex CO., MA (545) (546) Susanna Fuller was born on 15 Oct 1695 in Topsfield, Essex CO, MA.

Elisha Putnam, son of Edward and Mary (Hale), born Nov. 3, 1685., Salem, Essex, Massachusetts[1]
Deacon Elisha Putnam, of Topsfield, married first at Salem, 10 February, 1710/11, Hannah Marble of Salem, at Salem[2] The printed town records indicate that the 10th was either missing or illegible.
Elisha Putnam, of Topsfield, and Susanna Fuller, were married Feb. 15, 1713/14, in Salem.[3]
Will 1745 Worcester County, Massachusetts[4]
Deacon Elisha Putnam died June 10, 1745, in Sutton, Massachusetts[5]
Elisha Putnam of Topsfield, husbandman, and a half dozen other people bought 500 acres of land in the Nipmug country for £658. The parcel was the northern half of the 1000 acres granted to Colonel Elisha Hutchinson and Isaac Addington by the General Court in 1713. One week later they mortgaged this same parcel for £600, the mortgage running until 10 Aug 1723. Elisha and his family settled on this land between 1723 and 1725[5].
In the year 1726, Elisha's name first appears in the Sutton Records, he being appointed part of a committee to negotiate with the minister[5]. He was the representative from Sutton to the General Court during 1740/1 and 1743; town selectman 1726, and 1729; town clerk from 1738 to 1745; moderator in 1740; and treasurer 1729-41[6].
He was admitted to the Sutton church in 1730, and was deacon from 1731 until his death in 1745. "...he was much respected as a citizen and a christan."[5] and "... a very useful man in the civil and ecclesiastical concerns of the place."[5]

A History of the Putnam Family by Eben Putnam lists no Elisha in the family of Thomas Putnam. Thomas would be Elisha's grandfather. Please correct parents to Putnam-71 and Hale-180 or just disconnect from current parents and then this profile and Putnam-400 should be merged.posted Jan 11, 2015 by Anne B
