Cady, Rev. Putnam; Unpublished papers; 1897; p 2; Montgomery Hist.; file 57K. Quote: "Victoor, second son of Jan, December 2nd., 1706, married Margaret, sister of Jan Pieterse Mebie." End quote. Cady; Ibid; pp 2 & 3.

Quote: "In "The History of Schenectady's Early Settlers", it is recorded of Jan Pieterse Mabie (brother-in-law of Victoor Putman) that he came to Schenectady in 1684. He married Anna Pieterse, daughter of Pieterse Jacobs Borsboom, one of the original fifteen settlers of Schenectady in 1697." "Rode", called by the Christians as "Dirk", a Mohawk Scherm, (sic.) with the consent of all the other Mohawks, granted a piece of ground containing eighty acres (lying on both sides of Schoharie Creek) commonly known by the name "Kudarodae"-- or "Candaughrity", as it is now written, to Jan Pieterse Mebie, (Mabee), in consideration that his wife "is something related to the Mohawk Castle." This land (1911) is still in the possession of the Mabee descendants. From an old parchment map, made in 1727, the land lying next to the Mabee's property, was put down as owned by Victore Putman-- son of Jan. After Victore Putman, this land was next owned by Victore's son Cornelius, or "Boss Putman", as he was most frequently called." End quote.

   "Victoor (Jan), born in Schenectady, probably as late as 1680. He was living in 1733, at which time from an old letter in possession of Victor A. Putman, we learn he was called "Capt. Victor Puttman." In 1727, according to an ancient map of that date, he held land next to the Mabee Grant, situated in
   Candaughrity, and still in possession of descendants, about two miles from Fort Hunter. He married in Albany, 13 December, 1706, Grietje, sister of Jan Pieterse Mebie; but according to Judge Sanders she was Margaret Mebie, and they were married 2 December, 1706. Member of the 2nd. foot company at Schenectady in 1715, the only Putman on the list, which included ever able man between the years sixteen and sixty. In the lengthy dispute, regarding the common lands at Schenectady, between
   some of the inhabitants and Ryer Schermerhorn, Arent seems to have taken the latter's part, while Victoor and Cornelis were opposed. Children, all baptised at Albany: Cornelia, 3 August, 1707; Antje, 25
   April, 1709; Johannes, 21 October, 1711; said to have been killed in the Revolution; Pieter, 1 February, 1712-13; Maritie, 18 December, 1714; Jacob, 23 March, 1716- 17; Arent, 14 February, 1719; Catharina, 18 February, 1721; and Cornelis, 17 December, 1724."
