    PUTNAM, David, s. Cornelius and Elisabeth, [born] Sept. 21, 1765.

  2. Royalston VRs, p. 35-36, list the baptisms on 20 May 1770 of 8 children attributed to Isaac and Mehitable Gale: Aaron, Cornelius, David, John, Judith, Lucy, Reuben, Sarah. These names do not match the names of the children of that couple as found in birth records, and there are too many for all to belong to one family. Checking for births in Royalston with these names, it is clear that all these baptisms belong to Cornelius and Elizabeth Putnam (except Sarah whose birth is not found).
