Jacob lived for several years in Andover, Vt, thence went to Manchester, Vt. and to Pawlet, Vt, then removed to Westfield, NY. Just asking... Richard Putnam Putnam's Store Wilton, NH Answer: I've check the book and it lists on p. 92 the following: Hannah, b. 1827, orange, Ma., m. 25 Dec 1851, John PUTNAM, (38y), mechanic @ Chatauqua, N.Y., son of Jacob & Mary PUTNAM, b. 1813, Andover, Essex, Ma. There is a Jacob listed in the LDS Ancestral File as born 3 Jun 1813, Andover, Windsor Vermont, son of Jacob Putnam and Mary Burton, married Sally Youngs (abt Apr 1837 - Chatauqua, N.Y.) No death date is listed for Sally. I was not able to locate a Jacob listed as being born in the Ancestral or IGI Files. Do you have an reference to Hannah in your research??? Regards, Paul
