III) John Putnam, son of Nathaniel Putnam, was born at Salem Village, now Danvers, March 26, 1657, and baptized in Salem, September 6, 1(357. H1s farm was in that part of Danvers west of Hathorne's Hill near the log bridge across the Ipswich river. Part of it is or was lately owned by George H. Peabody. He was known as "Carolina John," and as John Putnam, Jr. He was constable of Salem during the witchcraft trials. At one time Mercy Lewis, one of the "afflicted girls," had been living at his house as a servant and in May, 1692, he testified, apparently in good faith, as to a fit she had when she was bewitched. A week after the ordination of the Rev. Joseph Green, a church meeting was held at the house of John Putnam in 1698 and several of the wronged members of the church again met with the majority and all agreed to live in "love together." John Putnam was frequently tythingman, surveyor of highways, and served in other town offices. His will was dated November 30, 1721, and proved October 1, 1722.
