I am a descendant of Henry Putnam, born 1785 and died around 1860, spouse of Savanna Thurston and father of Ruth Putnam Fickett, 1813-1852. Family legend has it that she was descended from the Salem, Massachusetts, Putnams, possibly through Nathaniel, son of John Putnam, family founder in the United States. Does anyone know the father, grandfather, etc., of Henry?
