(I) Matthew Cornell, born November 11. 1745. The place of his birth is not known. At the age of twenty-nine or thirty and at the commencement of the revolutionary war his family was living at Ponegansett, Bristol county, Massachusetts. He was a seafaring man and captain of a whaler, was captured by a British cruiser in 1776 or 1777, and confined on board a British prison ship lying in the harbor of New York. After suffering everything but death from hunger and malaria (and history says 12,000 prisoners died in these horrible prison ships), he was released in 1778 or 1779. and after recovering from the effects of imprisonment, he lived a short


time in Ponegansett, whence he emigrated with his wife and one or two children to Eas- ton, Washington county, about the year 1780. After a residence of about nine years in Eas- ton he moved to Cambridge and settled on the farm ( 1870) now owned by Gerritt Fort, where he acquired a respectable property, and reared a family of seven children, and departed this life March 4, 1807, in his sixty- third year. He had one brother who died in Easton, the father of Walter Latham, Wan- ton, etc. His wife's parents, Daniel and Amy Shrieve left seven children, Daniel, Abigail, Mary, Elizabeth, Christopher, Ruth and God- frey. Elizabeth was the wife of Matthew Cornell. They both embraced the Quaker faith, and their remains rest in the Quaker burying ground in Easton, Washington county, New York.


He married Elizabeth Shrieve, born No- vember 23, 1750, died April 9, 1829. They were married about the year 1774.

A very interesting and valuable document which is in the possession of Mrs. Alice (Gif- ford) Ilayward is a legal manifesto signed July 19, 1776, by her great grandfather, Mat- thew Cornell, and by the governor of the Island of St. Eustatia :

As the records show Matthew Cornell left the seas before 1780. at which time he immi- grated with his wife and one or more chil- dren to Easton, Washington county, New York. as before stated. . At one time (date unknown) he brought two exquisite china punch bowls from China. One of these was for many years in the possession of the Whiteside family on Chautattqua Lake. but as all the family have passed away some one else now has it in keeping. The other and by far the handsomer of the two came through Millicent (Cornell) Gifford to her son, Wal- ter Cornell Gifford, and is now in the pos-


session of his daughter, Millicent Cornell (Gifford) Jenkins, of Dumont, New Jersey.


Mrs. Hayward has three other interesting papers, one an announcement of the death of Mr. W. Cornell, member of the assembly in Albany. This Mr. W. Cornell was Walter Cornell, born Attgust 24, 1782, died March 4. 1833, son of Matthew Cornell, and brother of Millicent (Cornell ) Gifford. His nephew and namesake. Walter Cornell Gifford, fol- lowed in the footsteps of his uncle and served the Second Chautauqua District two terms in the assembly beginning 1890. This docu- ment is printed in gold on green satin. The second one is the original deed given by the Holland 1.and Company to Gideon Gifford the 8th of June, 1829. and the third a descrip- tion of the Cushman monument at Burial Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts.


PUTNAM The lineage of a very large part of Putnams of New Eng- land is traced to John Putnam, the immigrant, the ancestor of several promi- nent citizens of the early days of Massachti- setts. The name comes from Puttenham, a place in England, and this perhaps from the Flemish word putte. "a well." plural putten, and ham, signifying a "home," and the whole indicating a settlement by a well. Some four or five years after the settlement of Salem, Massachusetts, it became necessary to extend the area of the town in order to accommodate a large number of immigrants who were de- sirous of locating within its jurisdiction, and. as a consequence, farming communities were established at variotts points, some of them being a considerable distance from the center of population. Several families newly arrived from England founded a settlement which they called Salem Village, and the place was known as stich for more than a hundred years. It is now called Danvers. Among the original settlers of Salem Village was John Putnam. Ile was the American progenitor of the Put- nams in New England, and among his de- scendants were the distinguished revolution- ary generals, Israel and Rufus Putnam. Much valuable information relative to the early his- tory of the family is to be found in the "Es- sex Institute Collection." In common with most of the inhabitants, they suffered from the witchcraft delusion. buit were not seriously affected.

(Il) The second generation is represented by Galo, of the same locality.


(111) Richard, born 1154, died 1189, pre- sented the living of the church of Puttenham to the prior and canons of Ashby.


(H\') Simon de Puttenham was a knight of Herts in 1199.

(VII) John de Puttenham was lord of the manor of Puttenham in 1291, and was a son of William. His wife, "Lady of Puttenhamn, held half a knight's fee in Puttenham of the honor of Wallingford, in 1303."


(VHI) Sir Roger de Puttenham, son of the Lady of Puttenham, was born prior to 1272, and with his wife, Alina, had a grant of lands in Penne in 1315. He was sheriff of Herts in 1322, in which year he supported Edward II. against the Mortimers. His wife. perhaps identical with Helen, is called a daughter of John Spigornel, and was married (second ) to Thomas de la Hay, king's com- missioner, knight of the shire, in 1337, who held Puttenham with reversion to the heirs of Rodger Puttenham, and land in Penne in right of his wife.


(IX) Sir Rodger de Puttenham was par- doned by the king in 1338, probably on ac- count of some political offense. The next year he was a follower of Sir John de Molyns. and was a knight of the shire from 1355 to 1374. He had a grant of remainder after the death of Christian Berdolfe, of the manor of Long Marston, in 1370-71. He had a second wife, Marjorie, in 1 370.


(X) Robert, son of Sir Rodger de Putten- ham, in 1346, held part of a knight's fee in Marston, which the Lady of Puttenham held. He was living in 1356.

(\INI) William, eldest son of Henry Put- tenham, was in possession of Puttenham, Penne, Sherfield and other estates. He was buried in London, and his will was proved July 23. 1492. He married AAnne, daughter of John Hampden, of Hampden, who was living in 1486. They had sons: Sir George, Thomas and Nicholas.


(XIV) Nicholas, third son of William and Anne ( Hampden ) Puttenham, of Penne, in 1534, bore the same arms as his elder brother, Sir George. He had sons: John and Henry.


(XV) Henry, younger son of Nicholas Put- nam, was named in the will of his brother John, in 1526.

(1) John, eldest son of Nicholas and Mar- garet (Goodspeed) Putnam, was of the nine- teenth generation in the English line, and the first of the American line. He was born about 1580, and died suddenly in Salem Vil- lage, now Danvers, Massachusetts, December 30, 1662, aged about eighty years. It is known that he was a resident of Aston Abbotts, Eng- land, as late as 1627, as the date of the bap- tism of the youngest son shows, but just when he came to New England is not known. Fam- ily tradition is responsible for the date 1634. and the tradition is known to have been in the family over one hundred and fifty years. In

1641. new style, John Putnam was granted land in Salem. He was a farmer, and exceed- ingly well off for those times. He wrote a fair hand, as deeds on file show. In these deeds he styled himself "yeoman"; once, in 1055, "husbandman." His land amounted to two hundred and fifty acres, and was situated between Davenport's hill and Potter's hill. John Putnam was admitted to the church in 1047, six years later than his wife, and was also a freeman the same year. The town of Salem in 1644 voted that a patrol of two men be appointed cach Lord's day to walk forth during worship and take notice of such who did not attend service and who were idle, etc .. and to present such cases to the magistrate ; all of those appointed were men of standing in the community. For the ninth day John Put- nam and John Hathorne were appointed. The following account of the death of John Put- nam was written in 1733 by his grandson, Ed- ward: "He ate his supper, went to prayer with his family and died before he went to sleep." He married, in England, Priscilla (perhaps Gould), who was admitted to the church in Salem in 1641. Their children, bap- tized at Aston Abbotts. were : Elizabeth ; Thomas, grandfather of General Israel Put- nam. of the revolutionary war ; John : Nathan- iel : Sara : Phobe and John.


( II) Nathaniel, third son of John and Pris- cilla Putnam, was baptized at Aston Abbotts, October 11, 1619, and died at Salem Village, July 23. 1700. He was a man of considerable landed property : his wife brought him sev- enty-five acres additional, and on this tract he built his house and established himself. Part of his property has remained uninterruptedly in the family. It is now better known as the "old Judge Putnam place." He was consta- ble in 1656, and afterwards deputy to the general court, 1690-91, selectman, and always at the front on all local questions, whether pertaining to politics, religions affairs, or other town matters. "He had great business activ- ity and ability, and was a person of extraordi- nary powers of mind, of great energy and skill in the management of affairs, and of singular sagacity, acumen and quickness of perception. He left a large estate." Nathaniel Putnam was one of the principals in the great lawsuit concerning the ownership of the Bishop farm. His action in this matter was merely to pre- vent the attempt of Zeruhabel Endicott to push the bounds of the Bishop grant over his


land. The case was a long and complicated affair, and was at last settled to the satisfac- tion of Allen and Putnam in 1683. December 10, 1688, Lieutenant Nathaniel Putnam was one of the four messengers sent to Rev. Sam- uel Parris to obtain his reply to the call of the parish. Parris was afterwards installed as the minister of the parish, and four years later completely deceived Mr. Putnam in regard to the witchcraft delusion. That he honestly be- lieved in witchcraft and in the statements of the afflicted girls, there seems to be no doubt : that he was not inclined to be severe is evident, and his goodness of character shows forth in marked contrast with the almost bitter feeling shown by many of those concerned. He lived to see the mistake he had made. That he should have believed in the delusion is not strange, for belief in witchcraft was then all but universal. The physicians and ministers called upon to examine the girls, who pre- tended to be bewitched, agreed that such was the fact. Upham states that ninety-nine out of every hundred in Salem believed that such was the case. There can be no doubt that the expressed opinion of a man like Nathan- iel Putnam must have influenced scores of his neighbors. His eldest brother had been dead seven years, and he had succeeded to the position as head of the great Putnam family with its connections. He was known as "Landlord Putnam," a term given for many years to the oldest living member of the fam- ily. He saw the family of his brother, Thomas Putnam, afflicted, and, being an upright and honest man himself, believed in the disordered imaginings of his grandniece, Ann. These are powerful reasons to account for his belief and actions. The following extract from Up- ham brings out the better side of his charac- ter :


"Entire confidence was felt by all in his judg- ment, and deservedly. But he was a strong re- ligionist, a life-long member of the church, and ex- tremely strenuous and zealous in his ecclesiastical relations. He was getting to be an old man, and Mr. Parris had wholly succeeded in obtaining, for the time, possession of his feelings, sympathy and zeal in the management of the church, and secured his full co-operation in the witchcraft prosecutions. lle had been led by Parris to take the very front in the proceedings. But even Nathaniel Putnam could not stand by in silence and see Rebecca Nurse sacrificed. A curious paper written by him is among those which have been preserved: 'Nathaniel Put- nam, senior, being desired by Francis Nurse, Sr., to give information of what I could say concerning his wife's life and conversation, I, the above said, have


1133

known this aforesaid woman forty years, and what I have observed of her, human frailties excepted, her life and conversation have been to her profes- sion, and she hath brought up a great family of children and educated them well, so that there is in some of them apparent savor of godliness. have known her to differ with neighbors, but I never knew or heard of any that did accuse her of what she is now charged with.'"


In 1604 Nathaniel and John Putnam testi- fied to having lived in the village since 1641. Nathaniel married, in Salem, Elizabeth, daugh- ter of Richard and Alice ( Bosworth) Hutch- inson. of Salem Village. She was born An- gust 20, and baptized at Arnold, England, August 30, 1629, and died June 24, 1688. In 1648 both Nathaniel and his wife Elizabeth were admitted to the church in Salem. Their children, all born in Salem, were: Samuel, Nathaniel, John, Joseph. Elizabeth, Benjamin and Mary.


(1II) Captain Benjamin Putnam, son of Nathaniel Putnam (q. v. ). was born in Salem Village, December 24, 1664, and died there, about 1715. He was a prominent man in Sa- lem, and held many town offices : tythingman, 1695-96; constable and collector, 1700: select- man, 1707-13. He was constantly chosen ty- thingman and surveyor of highways, and was frequently on the grand and petit juries. De- cember 30, 1709, he was chosen deacon of the Salem church. He had the title of "Mr." and held the positions of lieutenant and captain, 1706-1I. He married, August 25, 1685, Eliza- beth, daughter of Thomas Putnam. On the Salem records, however, it is stated that the name of his first wife was Hannah. She died December 21, 1705, and he married ( second ), July 1. 1706, Sarah Holton. Benjamin Put- nam is often mentioned in the diary of Rev. Joseph Green and July 25, 1713, is reported therein to be very sick. He died in 1714 or 1715. His will is dated October 28, 1706, and proved April 25, 1715. Children : Josiah, baptized at Salem, October 2, 1687, probably died young : Nathaniel, mentioned below ; Tar- rant, born April 12, 1688; Elizabeth, January 8, 1690: Benjamin, January 8, 1692-93 ; Ste- phen.

(IV) Deacon Nathaniel (2) Putnam, son of Captain Benjamin Putnam, was born in Sa- lem Village, August 25, 1686, died October 21, 1754. He married there, June 4, 1709. Han- nah Roberts, who died about 1763. He was


a farmer by occupation, and lived in Danvers, and perhaps part of his life in North Reading. He was elected deacon of the First Church in Danvers, November 15, 1731. Children, born in Salem Village: Nathaniel. baptized Octo- ber 1, 1710, died March 4, 17II : Jacob, born March 9, 1711-12, mentioned below : Nathan- iel, April 4, 1714, died February II, 1720; Sarah, June 1, 1716, unmarried in 1763; Ar- chelaus, May 29, 1718; Ephraim, died about 1759; married, April 12, 1739. Mehitable Put- . nam : Ephraim, February 10, 1719-20. died November 13, 1777; married Sarah Crane ; Hannah, March 4, 1721-22, died 1802; mar- ried, October 22, 1746, Solomon Hutchinson ; Nathaniel, May 28, 1724. died July, 1763; married, February 6, 1744, Abigail Wilkins ; Mehitable, February 26, 1726-27, married Reuben Harriman; Keziah, married Marble.


(V) Jacob, son of Deacon Nathaniel Put- nam, was born in Salem Village. March 9, 1711-12, died in Wilton, New Hampshire, Feb- ruary 10, 1781. He married (first ), at Sa- lem, July, 1735, Susanna Harriman, of Dan- vers: (second) Susanna Styles, who died January 27, 1776; (third) Patience, mentioned in his will, proved February 28, 1781. He was a pioneer settler of Salem, Canada, now Wilton, New Hampshire, which was a grant of land to soldiers under Sir William Phipps in the Canada Expedition of 1690. The grant was made in 1735, and Jacob Putnam was there as early as 1738. In June, 1739, he and his brother Ephraim, and John Dale, made the first settlement. He built a house of two stor- ies in front and one in back, the remains of which could be seen in 1889. For the first three years of his residence there, his wife was the only woman who resided permanently in the town. During one winter the depth of snow and distance from neighbors were so great that she saw no one outside her imme- diate family for six months. It is said that Jacob, together with his brothers, Ephraim and Nathaniel, after living for some years in Wilton, found the Indians troublesome, and returned to Danvers for a time, afterwards settling again in the former place. Jacob was a man of great industry, and beside carry- ing on a farm operated a sawmill. In his old age he employed himself in making cans.
