I've "rescued" an old photograph of Uzziel PUTNAM which was taken at the B.
F. Hall Studio in Lansing, Michigan. The photograph appears to have been
taken in the 1870's with Uzziel likely in his 40's or 50's at the time it
was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following
information regarding Uzziel and his family:
Uzziel PUTNAM IV was b. 12 Aug 1826 in Pokagon, MI to parents Uzziel PUTNAM
III (b. 19 Jan 1792 in Wardsboro, VT) and Anna CHAPMAN (b. abt 1796 in OH).
Uzziel was one of 5 children born to this couple including, John; Orlan;
Anna; Ziltha; and Uzziel PUTNAM, all born between 1813 and 1826 in Huron Co.
OH and MI. Uzziel married C. Jane CLYBORNE (b. 1842 in Pokagon, MI and d. 14
Feb 1871 in MI) on 9 Jan 1862 in Galesburg, IL and together they had 3
children including, Adie; Mabel; and Ira H. PUTNAM.
Uzziel had a second married to Lizzie M. FINCH on 16 Feb 1875 and together
they had a daughter, Hilda L. PUTNAM b. 29 Nov 1875. Uzziel died in
Pokagon, MI on 10 Feb 1879.
Census records provide the following information:
1860 census of Pokagan, MI:
Uzziel PUTNAM, age 67, a Farmer, born VT
Anna PUTNAM, age 68, born CT
Uzziel PUTNAM, age 34, Attorney at Law, born MI
I am hoping to locate someone from this PUTNAM Family so that the photograph
can be returned to its rightful place, with family. If you are a member of
this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
