They appear in the community of Putnam in the 1820 census, but I am unable to locate them after that. I believe that they died in the community because their children remained there and went on to raise their families there. I know that the main cemetery serving the Putnam area is Woodlawn; however, Woodlawn was dedicated in 1853 and I believe that these ancestors died before that time. Can anyone tell me where the residents of Putnam were buried before the dedication of Woodlawn Cemetery? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
