There are sepa- PUTMAN-PUTNAM rate and distinct families in the United States bearing the above name, one of English descent, the other of Dutch, both names having a common origin and being used interchangeably. The Putnams de- scending from John Putnam, of England, are found spelling their names sometimes Putman, while the descendants of Jans Pootman, of Holland, are sometimes found as Putnam. The origin of the name seems to be from the Low Dutch or Flemish word "Putte," a well. and "ham," a house or hamlet. The Danish word "putt." desig- nates a well or spring. Near Ghent in Hol- land is a village called Puttenheim, and in Surrey, England, there is a place called Puttenham.

(I) Jans or Johannes Putnam, of Schenec- tady. New York, was the founder of the Putnams of the Mohawk Valley and north- ern New York. It is supposed he was born in Holland, in 1645. In 1661 he was six- teen years of age, and a resident of Albany. He married Cornelia, daughter of Arent Andriese and Catlyntje ( De Vos) Bratt. He and his wife were killed by Indians at the burning of Schenectady. February S. 1690. On September 14, 1661, Jan Hen- drickse Van Ball apprenticed Jan Putnam for three years to Philip Hendrickse Brou- wen. Although but sixteen years old at the time, he wrote his name "in a clear and beautiful manner." a somewhat unusual ac- complishmient for the time and place. When Brouwen went to Schenectady he took the boy Jan with him. In 1684 Mr. Brouwen died. Eighty gulden a year was the amount Jan Putnam received in lieu of outfit. Cat- lyntje De Vos had three husbands. first. Arent Andriese Bratt: second. Barent Jans Van Dilmar: third. Claas Van Bockhoven. Her second husband was killed at the Sche- nectady massacre of 1690. when Jan and Cornelia Putnam were killed. Children of Jan and Cornelia Putnam: 1.

The third generation of Putnams in the
Mohawk Valley were firm and outspoken patriots, and it was common for the Tories and Indians to attack Putnam farms and homes in preference to others.
