Person:Adam Putman (3)

Adam and Catherine Myers lived near Schoharie Creek, Town of Glen, Montgomery Co., New York. They were not far removed from the residence of Margarita Putman and Richard Hoff, Junior. Margarita was a sister of Adam.

Adam submitted numerous affidavits to the Montgomery Co. Court, to try and prove his claim to the lands near Schoharie Creek, where it is assumed that he was living.

28 September, 1785: Affidavit of Jacob Seebar and Jacob Putman, that Adam Putman hath been in possession of his lands on the east side of Schahary Creek since the fall of 1780.... etc., & etc.

16 April, 1799: Affidavit of William Putman and Jacob Putman, in support of Adam Putman's claim to title of lands on the south side of the Mohawks River, and on the east side of Schohary River.... etc., & etc.

The William Putman, listed above, was most likely Adam's brother. Adam was probably making claim to lands that he lived on, and land that had been confiscated from Tories during the Revolution.

Adam and Catherine lived in the towns of Columbia and Litchfield, where some of their children were born.
