(SAMUEL PORTER) PUTNAM West Chicago, Cook County<br /><br />He is listed as Mr. 35 US (should be 28 or 29 NY) and a musician, his wife listed as Mrs. is Mary McWilliams 20 ENG. What appears to be her mother, Mrs. McWilliams 48 ENG and J. Jefferson 20 ENG are with them. These listings of “Mr.” and ‘Mrs.’ are really of little help. But Rand Putnam dug up a marriage record that he married Mary McWilliams on August 1, 1849 here in Cook County. He was first married to Sarah Cowdin on November 10, 1842 back in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. He and another wife Minerva Brock who he will marry November 3, 1855 in Tazewell County, and they will be in Mason County in 1870. This, the other one in Chicago, Samuel Porter is a son of Samuel Putnam (1752) and Hannah Kimball from Worcester County Massachusetts and then out to Chautauqua County New York where this Sam was born November 9, 1821. The family then moved back to Massachusetts.<br /><br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000083126765157231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158774438578859185.post-37694188681719369872012-08-12T07:29:48.169-06:002012-08-12T07:29:48.169-06:00Thank you for the insight into Katie.

Samuel porter Putnam wasn't much of a father to her. The informant on the death certificate is who you should look at. My great grandmother said her mother's father was john fisher...it through us off for thirty years. His name was Samuel fisher, and he died when his daughter was about two. Like I said Katie's father wasn't around...Katie was a member of the daughters of American revolution, and put Samuel porter Putnam as her father.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000083126765157231noreply@blogger.com
