John E. Putnam Family Home Page
My family research is directed in several general directions:- my own Putnam / Clark ancestry which includes the the descendants of John Putnam of Salem, MA; Thomas Clarke of Plymouth, MA; Robert Pease of Salem, MA; Matthew Gibbs of Boston, MA; and William Ripley of Hingham, MA.- my wife's Zwilling / Langley ancestry which includes John Woodson of Henrico Co., VA and John Wheeler of Goochland Co., VA.- my two daughter-in-laws ancestry: Laub and Hemmeter.For the past three years, my efforts were directed at finding as complete data as possible in all three directions. Fortunately, I have been able to gather considerable information on the first leg of my project and need to pay more attention to the next two directions.In the future, I plan to supplement the Putnam / Clark research with more biographical information on the recent ancestors; hopefully some photographs; and other family momentos. Longer term, I hope to study the local history of the locales in which most of my ancestors lived to try to get a flavor of the issues which they faced in their times. Fortunately, my ancestors have lived in a fairly concentrated area of Massachusetts or Connecticut for almost four hundred years. I am hopeful of placing some of my research on the "net" shortly and would welcome any additions, corrections, or suggestions. | John E. Putnam Family Home Page Updated September 6, 2000 |
