Putnam of Massachusetts -- Surname Saturday

The Putnam line is another old Massachusetts line of mine. The emigrant ancestor, John Putnam was my 9th great-grandfather. As usual, my direct lines are in All Caps and in green. If you would like sources, please contact me. Once the snow melts, I look forward to taking photos of the memorial markers for John, his wife, and his son and wife. For now, you can view them on FindAGrave and may be seen HERE.
