Occupation: Tobacco planter; arrived in New Amsterdam 4 March 1637 1
RES: one of the first settler of Schenectady, NY

Family/Spouse: Catalyntje Andriese Du Vos. Catalyntje (daughter of Andries Du Vos and Margrietje Pieterse Coeymans) was born in 1628 in Albany County, New York; died in Dec 1712 in Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Andries married Margarietje Van Slyck in 1686 in Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York. Margarietje (daughter of Jacques Cornelise Van Slyck and Margarita Gretij Ryckman) was born in 1665 in Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York; died in Dec 1733 in Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Johannes Putman. Johannes (son of Rutger Poutman, Jr. and Joanna Vandenburgh) was born about 1745 in Delden, Overijssel, Netherlands; died about 1800 in Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Bathsheba married Charles Burns in 1708 in Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York. Charles was born about 1686 in Germany; died in 1730 in New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In 1708, he moved to Monmouth Co.,NJ, near the Atlantic. A number of Dutch from New York went to the area at this time, including Hendrick Beekman who may have been his father-in-law. During the 1730's he moved inland to Hunterdon Co.,NJ. He remained there until he died.(Bill Putman, 1994)

It seems that David Putman of Potterstown, New Jersey, had a son named John Davidse Putman, who had a daughter Elizabeth, I believe, that married Samuel Swayze, II, of Lebanon, New Jersey, which is just west of Potterstown. It seems the Swayzes ived in the area of Hensfoot, New Jersey, prior to moving to Mississsipi. The New Jersey Putman seems to have been mill wrights or people who worked in the lumber woods at least during the winter months. The Swayzes of New Jersey, Swayze's Mills, were millwrights.
Thanks, Mark.

Notes:

In June 1746, while Franz Burns and his brother[Samuel] were hoeing in Cohoha cornfield, when they saw their barn on fire. On nearing their cottage door, they beheld a stack of French rifles and in their fright the brot(hers separated. One ascended the trail over the Kreigger Rocks and hastened up the valley to Fort Massachusetts, and the other turned up the river and met an ambuscade of warriors, who gave chase for his scalp. He plunged into the river and hid beneath piles of driftwood until the Indians retreated down the valley. The next morning, he rose from his hiding place and proceeded to the English fort, where to his surprise he found his brother.
(The Hoosac Valley: Its Legends and Its History, Grace Greylock Niles, 1912, p.121)


Note: It was common in the frontier of eastern New York (before the Revolution) for settlers to build their homes together for protection even when their farmland lay elsewhere, with a stockade enclosing most houses (usually within close distance to a military fort). Thus, a family’s residence and the land a man worked did not necessarily occupy the same location.

Samuel married Magdalena Pruyn on 25 Feb 1739 in Albany, Albany County, New York. Magdalena (daughter of Frans Pruyn and Annetje Margarieta Bogart) was born on 11 Jan 1721 in Albany, Albany County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

1810 - Marcellus,NY - living with husband Wm Foster (no Nathan Tanner in town).

"Major Martin Cossit, a Revolutionary soldier, settled in the village in 1798. In March, 1799, the settlement of Thorn Hill was commenced by David Earll, Eleazer Burns, John Wiltsie, and Nathan Tanner, who came hither from Washington county on sleighs drawn by horse teams and oxen. Mr. Earll died upon his original farm and was succeeded by his son, William, who, upon his death, was followed by his son, Shepard. This is one of the very few instances in Marcellus of perpetuity of title and actual residence. Thorn Hill, situated in the southwest corner of the town, was named from Obadiah Thorn, a later comer, who was instrumental in establishing the post-office and mail route, and who was for many years a highly respected citizen and widely known as an extensive wool buyer. He subsequently removed to the Baldwin farm, near Skaneateles."

Albert Wiltsee in 1897 wrote of his grandfather, John Wiltsie that "He went to see a strictly Dutch girl" to get married and therefore be released from bondage of Mr. Buley (marriage was the only way he was told). We assume this is Polly Burns, his wife. With this bit of info I find in the History of Hoosac Valley that early(pre1746) "squatter" of the area of Pownal and Hooasc Valley included a "Franz Burns and his brother" - Many family history online note that Polly, Hannah, John and Eleazor's father was a Mr.Burns of Scottish descendant. I fine this not true at all. The record referenced is Virginia immigration records and there is no proof that the Virginia Burns is the same Burns in the Pownal areas. I think the new 'leaf' thing on Ancestry has taken some folks to believe all the suggestions are fact - and once one person adds that data, it multiplies without basis in real facts and soon the real clues are lost or become clouded.

My theory is that the Thorn Hill Burn's are descedants of Franz and/or his brother(unknown name) Burns that settled in the Hoosac Valley. Franz (Englishized to Francis - a common name in the Burns family).

Hannah married William Foster after 1810. William (son of Josiah Foster and Ann Duntom) was born on 7 Apr 1753 in Suffolk County, New York; died on 23 Apr 1813 in Marcellus, Onondaga County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Some family trees have him born in Scotland. I don't understand where that came from (except those darn 'leafs' on Ancestry.com). 1880 census of his children all show their parents born in New York, and Thursa was living with her brother Alanson, both say born in New York and even made the point that Thursa was born in Vermont.

John Burns, came from Onondaga at an early date to Sweden, Monroe Co, [NY], afterward settling about two miles west of Holley in the town of Murray where he was a farmer. John Burns married Ruth Willy and their children were: Dennis, who settled in Genesee County; Andrew who settled in Murray and died at Carlton; Chauncy; Blake, who settled in Murray; Polly, who married William Knight; Thirza, who married Peleg Burrows and for her second husband Torrey Winslow; Betsy, who married John Baker; Alanson, who married Esther Smith and settled in Murray; Walter, who married Hannah Smith and settled in Murray; Henry, who settled in Illinois.

John WILTSEE 7,
son of Thomas Wiltsee, s. of Jeremiah, s. of Cornelius, s. of Marten Wiltsee, b. Jan. 9, 1770, m. Miss Polly BURNS, June 15, 1788; d. in 1852. He first lived at Pownal, Vt., after his marriage. He moved to Duanesburg and lived several years, and then accompanied his cousins Cornell and Benjamin Wiltsee to Onondaga Co., New York, in the spring of 1813 and settled at Marcellus, four miles from Skaneatelas. He made his home there the remainder of his life. He became wealthy, and gave each of his family a farm and personal property to do business with. He visited his parents when his mother was about to die in Pownal. He visited his brother Jeremiah in 1841, and his relatives in Chautauqua Co., N. Y. He visited them again in the spring of 1844 before the death of his brother, and the family and others in the summer of 1850. He made the journeys with a single horse hitched to a covered carriage. His wife was dead, and he was extremely fleshy. It was difficult for him to walk far, and traveling was very tiresome for him. "I was East in 1897," wrote Albert Wiltsee, s. of Eleazer Wiltsee, s. of John Wiltsee, "and learned little or nothing in regard to my Wiltsee relatives. The old ones are all dead, and the young ones know but little about their ancestors, and care less. There are a few things connected with my grandfather's life that are a little sad, a little romantic, and a little laughable. When he was about 14 years old, he was bound out to a man by the name of Trip Buley. His mother and grand-father [David Cary] are said to have been the instigators of it. He was not furnished with enough food nor sufficient clothing; and he ran away when he was about 18 years old, and was arrested and taken back. He was informed that the only way he could get released from bondage was to get married. He went about it at once--went to see a strictly Dutch girl. It snowed in the night; and towards morning, when he opened the door to go home, he saw that the ground was covered. He hadn't a shoe to his feet. His girl got rags, and tied them around his feet, and he started home. Some hunters coming that way, mistook his tracks for bear tracks, and followed him to the house."

Bio from: Historical Gazetteer and Biographical Memorial of Cattaraugus Co. NY, ed by William Adams, pub 1893
History of the Town of Hinsdale - Chapter XXXI (31)
Pages: 718 & 719
Surnames: PUTNAM, WALTERS, SCOTT, LEARN
Peter PUTNAM, the first settler of the town of Hinsdale and a cousin of General PUTNAM, of Revolutionary fame, was born in 1776. In 1804 he married Mary WALTERS in Almond, Allegany county. In 1810 he went to Olean, where he made a raft and with his family aboard and his brother for a pilot started down the Allegheny, intending to sell his lumber in Cincinnati and settle there. In that city his family were all ill with fever and ague. With them he returned to Olean with a pan of horses and a wagon loaded with his property. Jan. 1, 1811, he settled in the woods where George SCOTT now lives. His nearest neighbor on the south was at Olean and on the north at Franklinville. He raised a log house with the help of the Indians, who had a camp near by. He was a great hunter, was an industrious pioneer, planted the second orchard in Cattaraugus county, and raised the first frame barn in Hinsdale. He died in Feb., 1844; Mrs. PUTNAM died Dec. 22, 1842.
John PUTNAM, oldest son of Peter, was born in the log cabin on the homestead Aug. 10, 1811, and is distinguished as the first white child born in Hinsdale. Jan. 1, 1839, he married Sarah A. LEARN, and Jan. 5, 1841, their son Joseph M. C. was born. Mrs. PUTNAM died Jan. 15, 1841. May 9, 1843, he married, second, Mary A. LEARN. At his marriage Mr. PUTNAM settled on the homestead; in 1840 he rented that and settled on a farm in Humphrey. His health failed in 1877 and they moved onto the home Mrs. PUTNAM had purchased at Scott's Corners, where they now reside. Mr. PUTNAM was justice of the peace in Humphrey sixteen consecutive years.

Peter Putnam, who claimed to have been a lineal descendant of Gen. Putnam, of Revolutionary fame, came from the Delaware River country, and settled in Almond, Allegany Co., N. Y., in 1802. His marriage was the first in that township. In 1810 he sold out his improvements, invested his money in a raft, and, leaving his wife at Olean, proceeded down the Allegany and Ohio Rivers to Cincinnati. Having sold his lumber, he bought a wagon and span of horses in Cincinnati, and drive back to Olean. January 1, 1811, he arrived on lot 42, township 3, range 3, --the farm now owned by Hollis Scott';and immediately began cutting logs for a house. When he had the requisite number prepared, the Indians, who were encamped in considerable numbers near by, assisted him to build it. He built the first framed barn in town in 1816. His sons, John Putnam, who was born Aug. 10, 1811, and is believed to have been the first male child born in Hinsdale, still resides here.

Notes:

I enjoyed your website at Our Northern Roots. I'm suppose to descend
from Peter Putman the son of Victor Putman by way of is son John who
seems to have married a Sarah Martin, or Mulford. Victor Putman's
father was you know was David Janse Pootman of Potterstown, New
Jersey, and before that Schenectady, New York.
When I had the Putman Family Bulletin, I wrote an article on David
Cornelius Putman, who was really David Janse Pootman.
From information I received from a Mr. Sisser of New Jersey, and from
an old deed of the Auten family, David Putman's wife was a Helena. I
have guessed that she was Helena Van Gelder, but I may be wrong. I am
wondering where you got the information that David married a daughter
of Martin Beekman and Neeltje Slingerland?
I had thought that David Potman, Putman, married second Elizabeth, or
Lidia, Henderickson Beekman of Raritan, New Jersey, the daughter of
Henry Beekman and Annetje Quackenbush, who was a brother of Martin
Beekman.
May I ask how you determined that David Potman's wife was Elizabeth
Martinson Beekman? Tradition says, according to Warren T. Putman,
that David married an Elzabeth Beekman of Albany, New York, but
nothing else has been passed down.
Hope to hear from you, and have a wonderfull day.
The information that David Putman lived and died in Pluckimen, New
Jersey, I started back in the 1990's from information that De Witt
Putman had at one time. I tried to read a misspelled word and came up
with Pluckimen, and today everyone uses that as the place of death of
David Potman. From the 1741 Hunterdon County Census, David seems to
have lived in the Potterstown, New Jersey, area and I think that
Potterstown may have been named after him and was his home town.

Notes:

Upon arriving at Little River on Wednesday evening, April 6th, I was startled to hear of the sudden death of my old friend and neighbor, Mr. Perry Sims. A few minutes later I met his son, Franklin Sims, who invited me to attend and conduct the funeral services of his father, which took place at 11 o’clock a.m. on the following day.

The services were conducted in the following manner: A very large congregation met at the residence of the deceased and, when all was in readiness, the bereaved children and relatives, accompanied by a great procession (reaching fully half a mile) of people repaired to the Bean Cemetery, where members of Victoria Lodge No. 212, I.O.O.F., and of Como Lodge No. 104, K. of P., sang a very solemn and impressive song, which was followed by Scripture reading and prayer was offered, after which the friends and relatives took their farewell look; the coffin then being lowered to its resting place, members of the Orders above mentioned marched by, each depositing in the grave a twig of evergreen in honor—saying, “Live forever.”

This was done in honor to Mr. Sims, his son, Franklin, being an honored member of each of these Orders.

Mr. Perry Sims was the son of Wm. Sims; was born September 27, 1829, in Monroe County, Ohio. He moved with his parents to Indiana in the year 1832; thence with his own family to Piatt County, Illinois, in the spring of 1865, where they resided until the fall of 1878, then moving to Rice County, Kansas, and in the spring of 1879 traded for and moved to a farm one mile north of where the city of Little River is now located, where he resided until his death, which occurred on Tuesday evening, April 4th, 1893.

His beloved wife preceded in death August 27, 1891. Five children, a son and four daughters, survive to mourn the loss; the son and two younger daughters remaining here on the farm, and the elder daughters being married, one residing in Illinois and the other in Ft. Scott, this State.

The children desire to express their thanks to the different Orders and neighbors for the sympathy and help rendered in their time of trouble.

The services were conducted by the undersigned.

A Cripple Walks -- A Marvellous Change from a Sick Bed to Life and Health --

“For many months I have suffered everything but death. For weeks at a time, I was unable to stand on account of the most terrible pains, which extended from the small of my back into the sciatic nerves and streaked down my legs into my feet.

“There was a constant pain that reached to the nape of my neck and the back of my head. No man can describe the awful agony I endured, which was not only excruciating but continuous, night and day. I remained in this helpless and hopeless condition until every joint in my body became so stiff and sore I could scarcely move. My flesh left me to the extent of nearly twenty pounds. My eyes were sunken back into my head and surrounded by dark circles that made me look more like a skeleton than a human being.

“My appetite was gone. My stomach was so weak that I could not bear any strong food. During my sickness I had been treated by the best local physicians with no benefit whatever.”

Such were the sufferings of Mr. J. S. Ferrin, of 7 North Main St., this city, from sciatica. His pains were unendurable and had resisted large doses of anodynes. The muscles had contracted and the limb had shortened; Mr. Ferrin grew nervous and weak.

He said to the doctor: “I have tried everything but magnetism—if that fails I shall give up hope.” After the first magnetic treatment the pain was much relieved and he could sleep more soundly. The pain has continued to diminish and his general health to improve, and in less than a fortnight he has been able to go back to his employment at the brickyard. In less than four weeks’ time he has entirely recovered.

Mr. Ferrin now looks back on those long and weary months of his life with wonder and horror. It took Dr. Smith longer to eradicate from his system the effects of the opium, calomel, and other poisonous drugs than it has to cure the original disease.

Chronic sciatica is laid down in all medical works as incurable except by a painful and dangerous surgical operation, the effect of which is doubtful. Dr. Smith will give ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS in cash to any charitable institution in this city, designated by the patient for any case of sciatica which he cannot cure, provided the sufferer will agree to follow directions the prescribed length of time. This offer is neither bluff nor bluster but is made in the strictest good faith.

Dr. F. B. Smith is an expert in the treatment and cure of all nervous and chronic diseases and may be consulted daily, free of charge at the Page House, Hornellsville, where he is permanently established rooms 10 and 12, right at the head of the stairs.

Rushford and Rushford People, by Helen Josephine White Gilbert, 1910. p.337/8

Extract from a letter written by William Seiver(Seaver) of Angelica, late of Co. I, 27th Regiment, N.Y.V.:
"My impression is that Eugene Ferrin of West Almond, N.Y. was the first Allegany soldier who was killed in the Civil War. Our regiment had but just got onto the fighting ground of Bull Run under command of Col. Henry W. Slocum (later Major General Slocum) when directly in our front was two Rebel regiments; the first volley they fired Eugene Ferrin was struck in the forehead, standing at my side. If Babbitt was killed in the morning, before the battle of Bull Run I did not learn about it."

Extract from a letter written by Philander D. Ellithorpe of Buffalo, late of Co. I, 27th Regiment, N.Y.V.:
"I have no recollection of Ferrin but I do know when and where Albert Babbitt was killed; I saw him receive the second shot, after he was down; it was down in the valley, near the house and not far from where Col. Slocum was wounded. The Eighth Georgia regiment was on the skirmish line down the valley and there were two other regiments of Rebs in ambush; we did not see them until they opened fire upon us."
