From "Reminiscences of Worcester" which is in digital files.
p 93
John, Jr., who was born in 1630, was a lieutenant, and Representative in the General Court. He married, Sept.3, 1652, Rebecca Prince, by whom he had ten children, born in Salem between 1853 and 1873, as follows: Rebecca, Sarah, Priscilla, Jonathan, James, Hannah, Eleazer, John, Joanna, and Ruth. Of these, James, born Sept 4, 1661, was grandfather of Hon. James Putnam, the distinguished loyalist and lawyer of Worcester; the Attorney General's father, born in Feb, 1690, the third of nine children, beig also named James. As the Attorney General had a son and a grandson of the same name, there were thus five generations of James Putnams, from son of the second John of Salem, to the last one who sleeps in the Mechanic street burial ground of Worcester.
