History of Washington County, NY, 1737-1878, by Crisfield Johnson:
"The first settlement was made near the centre of town (Putnam) by Joseph Haskins, a squatter who built a log house on Lot 22, near the site of the present residence of George G. Burnet. He afterwards acquired title by purchase from William Hutton about 1786. He first came, possibly, as early as 1782. The next settler was William Hutton in 1784, followed by George Easton in 1785...Robert Cummings was a resident of Cambridge previous to the Revolution, and though too young to regularly enlist as a soldier, attached himself to the army as an officer's servant. At the close of the war he returned to Cambridge, and about theyear 1789 married Hannah Hutton, who was visiting friends in that town. Soon after they came to Putnam, and settled onlands given them by William Hutton, on Lot 19 of the tract. The place is now occupied by a grandson, James L. Cummings...George Easton came from Cambridge to Putnam in 1785. A short time after, he married Margaret, the youngest daughter of William Hutton, and settled on the place now occupied by P.W. Huttton. Mrs. Elizabeth Meiklejohn is the yongest and only surviving child. She is upwards of eighty-three years old. Several grandchildren, among them George Easton, still live in the town."
