We are researching the Joseph PUTNAM family from Cambridge, Mass. Joseph Putnam married Mary Ann Fletcher in Cambridge in 1848, they were in California by the 1860 California census. We believe he was born in Vermont. Mary Ann's parent were Benjamin F. Fletcher and Mary Ann Brown. She had two brothers; William Alfred and James. In addition we are working on the William L. DOUGHERTY Family of Pike Co., Penn. William was married to Jane E. Westfall about 1842. They had five sons, John Lyle, Clark, William, Alva, and Solomon. Jane later was married to Fernando H. Chamberlin and together they had a daughter Malvina E. We belive William Dougherty senior came to this country as a young boy with his family. Any information would be appreciated. Will share what information we have.
