Putnam of Salem Coat of arms.

Question

I wish I could make the picture work but John Putnam of Salem was mentioned in Burkes General Armory in 1845. So I really really question Andrew Moriarty and works based of his.

There is also an Armiger in Canada guess what same line.

Safari gives me an error message: “url can’t be shown” when I try to follow this link.

Try this instead:

http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/families/hmgfm/putnam-1.html

(It looks the same, but I pasted it in directly instead of using the G2G chainlink icon.)

That works! Thank you.

Answer 2

Burke's is not a reliable source. There is no evidence to suggest that John Putnam of Salem was armigerous (he described himself as "husbandman" and "yeoman", not "gentleman" or "esquire").
