I am not who you wanted to hear from but I am a decsentant of Reuben, Benjamin, Joseph Putnam. I am trying to get my DAR proof for Reuben as previous accepted for Reuben have been flagged as many of them had the 2 Reuben's mixed up.
How wonderful you got to tour Joseph's homestead. I was unaware it existed! Have you ever found Joseph's birth record? Census having him state he was born in Mass. but I have searched and searched with no luck. I have also looked in New Hampshire & Vermont with no luck either. It seems that Rueben left Joseph the family farm when Reuben moved to Parma, New York. I have yet to find any record of that yet either as Thetford want me to be 'more specific' what I am looking for ... but I don't know exactly when it was ... if he even actually deeded it to him. Joseph stayed in Thetford, Vermont the rest of his life as I'm sure you already know. I would love to talk to you about what you know :)Kathryn Pitcher [email protected]
