Do you Know the father of Henry Putnam?

Question

With a good bit of help I've been able to confirm my 3rd great grandfather.  His middle name starts Possibly with a C but I am told that he is not the same as Henry Clay Putnam.

Do you have any of these Putnams in your tree? Have you seen anything in your research?

Comments

In this book he appears to be Henry Clay Putnam but I'm not sure https://books.google.com/books/about/History_of_the_town_of_Warsaw_New_York.html?id=uVTHDwAAQBAJ

Hi Joseph

May I suggest that you add siblings to what you know for sure and have sources.  Quite often we can pick up hints from info found on siblings.  Check census records and create profiles for all family members.  I see there are a couple duplicate profiles that need to be merged as WikiTree wants only one profile per person.  I will see what I can add.  Good luck!
