2013 being the 225th Anniversary Year of the founding of Marietta, Ohio under the leadership of General Rufus Putnam, some of his direct descendants are planning a reunion of ALL of General Putnam's direct descendants at Marietta, Ohio the last weekend of June 2013. If you are interested in attending or in helping spread the word of the reunion email rufusputnamreunion@gmail.com or write to Rufus Putnam Reunion, P O Box 34, Marietta, Ohio, 45750-0034. Rufus and Persis Putnam's children with descendants would include Edwin Putnam who married Eliza Davis, Susanna Putnam who married Christopher Burlingame, Persis Putnam who married Perley Howe, Abigail Putnam who married William Browning, Martha "Patty" Putnam who married Benjamin Tupper and Catharine Putnam who married Ebenezer Buckingham. If you are a direct descendant of Rufus Putnam, 'The Father of Ohio', we hope you can attend. We are planning time to share Putnam family stories, history and genealogy of the last 225 years.
