Will of Lydia (Potter) Putnam dated 14 Sep 1742, proved 8 Apr 1745, mentions daughter Esther and Elizabeth, administration to John Porter of Wenham [Elizabeth's husband].
[In other words, no mention of David, suggesting he had died, as all other children not mentioned in this will are dead by 1742.]
- Note: Putnam adds at the end of his treatment of David Putnam [#146] that another David Putnam, s/o Joseph [#85], was "usually styled senior on the records". This is not what one would expect, as this David was the older of the two, and would be expected to be called Senior. Additional confusion is raised by this David purportedly not marrying until 1745 when he was nearing forty to a woman who was born in 1729. Further, David was not mentioned in the will of his mother dated 1742 (see Putnam, p. 63), suggesting he had already died long before 1760, and so wasn't the "h. Anna" who d. 1760. There is a third David [#360], a nephew of this David, b. 1717, to Jonathan Putnam Jr. [#142], who would be justifiably called Junior, and a better match for Anna Houlton, and Putnam gives no information on him past his guardianship in 1732. It seems possible that Putnam mixed up uncle and nephew, and that it was actually the nephew who married Anna Houlton, and d. 1760.
