Putnam commanded the defensive works around Boston in 1775 and later served under Gates against Burgoyne.
Continental army officer.
Co-founder of Ohio University; trustee from 1804 to 1824; Surveyor General of United States, 1796-1803.
Continental Army officer, surveyor, and pioneer; undertook survey and sale of lands in Maine and Ohio in 1785; one of the earliest settlers of Ohio.
Gen. Rufus Putnam (1738-1824) of Sutton and Rutland, Mass., Revolutionary War soldier and western pioneer, is credited with the successful fortification of Dorchester Heights against the British in 1776, and with leading an expedition of war veterans (Ohio Company of Associates) to the Northwest Territory in 1788, forming the first settlement at Marietta, Ohio. He was later appointed judge of the Northwest Territory and Surveyor-General of the U.S.
Rufus Putnam was born on April 9, 1738, in Sutton, Massachusetts, the son of Elisha Putnam and Susanna Fuller. After the death of his father, Putnam lived with relatives until he started his apprenticeship as a millwright in 1754. He served in the French and Indian War, received a promotion to sergeant in 1759, and taught himself the basics of military engineering. Putnam became a millwright in 1761. In the 1760s and 1770s, Putnam taught himself land surveying while he worked as a miller and farmer in Massachusetts. He oversaw the construction of defensive works around Boston from 1775 to 1776, and around New York in late 1776 (including West Point). He earned the rank of colonel in the Continental Army in 1776 and became brigadier general by January 1784.
Congress appointed Putnam a surveyor of the lands northwest of the Ohio River because of his extensive military career and his skill as a land surveyor. In March 1786, Rufus Putnam and Benjamin Tupper created the Ohio Company of Associates, with the purpose of organizing a group of like-minded individuals interested in settling land west of the Appalachian Mountains. The Ohio Company bought 1.5 million acres of land from Congress. Putnam led a group of Ohio Company men to the Muskingum River in 1788, and oversaw the construction of the town of Marietta, including a fort and a plan for a city of fifteen thousand occupants. Putnam's role in the Ohio Company and the settling of Marietta helped him gain recognition in both the territorial and national governments. In 1790, President George Washington appointed him a territorial judge and, on October 1, 1796, surveyor-general of the United States. As surveyor-general, Putnam oversaw the establishment of the Indian-United States boundary line described by the Treaty of Greenville. After Thomas Jefferson became surveyor-general in 1803, Putnam remained in Marietta, and helped found Ohio University in Athens (1804). He died in Marietta in 1824.
Rufus Putnam married his first wife, Elizabeth Ayres of Brookfield, Massachusetts, in 1761, but she died later the same year. Rufus Putnam married Persis Rice (d. 1820) of Westborough, Massachusetts, in 1765, and they had nine children.
Rufus Putnam (9 April 1738 - 4 May 1824), Revolutionary War officer, founder of Marietta, Ohio, was born at Sutton, Massachusetts, the youngest of the six sons of Elisha Putnam and Susanna Fuller Putnam. His father died when he was seven years old and for the next two years he lived with his maternal grandfather, Jonathan Fuller. In 1747 Putnam's mother married John Sadler of Upton, Massachusetts, and until 1753 Putnam lived in his stepfather's house. In 1754 he was apprenticed to Daniel Mathews of Brookfield, Massachusetts, a millwright. Mostly self-educated, Putnam in his adulthood recalled that until the age of nine he was sent to school "as much as children usually were in that day," but during the six years that he lived with his stepfather, a man who had contempt for education, he attended school for only three weeks. On his own he continued to study writing, and arithmetic "from the book." All his life he regretted his lack of knowledge of spelling and grammar. At some point he learned surveying. Putnam's military career began with the French and Indian War (1756 - 1763), during which he enlisted for several tours of duty in the Massachusetts provincial service. He saw action in northern New York and also worked building mills and fortifications for the army, an occupation not always to his liking. In June, 1760, he received an ensign's commission and joined his company at Ticonderoga, where he remained until discharged in November of that year. In March, 1761, Putnam began business as a millwright, his chief occupation for seven or eight years, after which he farmed and was also employed in surveying until the outbreak of the Revolution. On 6 April 1761, he married Elizabeth Ayres of Brookfield, Massachusetts. She died within the year, leaving an infant son who also died shortly. On 10 January 1765 Putnam married Persis Rice of Westborough, Massachusetts, who lived to 1820 and by whom he had nine children. When it was reported in 1772 that the king of England had authorized a grant of lands in West Florida to the colonials who had served in the French and Indian War, Putnam was chosen a member of a committee to explore the lands. He ultimately traveled with a party almost 400 miles up the Mississippi River in search of the best acreage, but the governor of West Florida never received the king's order. Putnam felt that he had wasted eight months on the expedition, but the experience was doubtless valuable to him later. When the American Revolution (1775 - 1783) broke out, Putnam entered military service as a lieutenant colonel in a regiment commanded by David Brewer. He continued in the army until the end of the war. On 17 June 1775 he took part in the battle of Charlestown. He helped plan fortifications around Boston and later claimed that he had been responsible for the Americans' taking of Dorchester Heights and therefore the British evacuation of Boston. It was at this time that he came to know George Washington, who was to remain Putnam's patron until his death in 1799. Putnam also worked on fortifications in Rhode Island and New York. On 11 August 1776 Congress appointed him an engineer, with the rank of colonel, and in the same year he accepted a regiment in the Massachusetts Line of the continental army. For the next four years he was stationed in upstate New York, part of the time under the command of General Robert Howe. He spent most of the winter and spring of 1781 in Boston lobbying the General Court in behalf of the Massachusetts soldiers. Toward the end of the war he received a brevet promotion to brigadier general. In the last year of the war, acting for a group of officers encamped at Newburgh, New York, Putnam framed a petition to the Congress of the Confederation asking that land promised to officers and soldiers who served to the end of the war be located in the territory northwest of the Ohio River. Back home in Massachusetts Putnam continued his efforts to interest army veterans and others in western "adventures," but when he learned in 1784 that Congress had not acted on the Newburgh petition, he agreed with the Massachusetts Committee on Eastern Lands to survey the state's lands in present Maine. He spent most of his time for the next three years on this business, even while he served a term in the Massachusetts General Assembly (1787), and continued to promote the western country. Early in 1786 Putnam and General Benjamin Tupper drew up and promoted a circular describing the riches of the Ohio Country and, together with representatives from several counties in Massachusetts, formed the Ohio Company of Associates, the purpose of which was to acquire and settle land in the Northwest Territory. In 1787 the company contracted with the federal government to purchase a million and a half acres in what is now southeast Ohio, to be paid for in depreciated continental currency and military land warrants. Appointed superintendent of the company, Putnam arrived at the mouth of the Muskingum River on 7 April 1788, with a company of men to found a settlement and survey and allocate the land. Named Marietta, the settlement was the first organized one in the Northwest Territory. The work of surveying, clearing, and building in the Ohio Company purchase proceeded under Putnam's direction. In November, 1790, he brought his family to Marietta, where he lived for the rest of his life. On 27 September 1792, his promotion to brigadier general confirmed (5 May 1792), he negotiated the Treaty of Vincennes with the Indians of the lower Wabash River, a treaty the senate failed to ratify. Pacification of the Indians awaited the Treaty of Greenville (1795). At Marietta Putnam established the Ohio Company land office, where he oversaw the affairs of the company. He helped set up the local government. He worked to establish a postal route in the Ohio Valley and was instrumental in settling the French immigrants at Gallipolis. In 1796 President Washington appointed Putnam surveyor-general of the United States, a position he held until 1803. He was a delegate to the Ohio Constitutional Convention in 1802, but as a Federalist he lost political power with the ascendancy of the Jefferson Republicans in the early nineteenth century. He helped establish the Congregational Church and the Muskingum Academy at Marietta, and Ohio University at Athens (1804). He died at Marietta at the age of 86 and is buried in Mound Cemetery, the resting place of many of his fellow officers of the Revolution who followed him to the West.

Putnam family. Putnam family papers 1794-1904 [manuscript]
Title:
Putnam family papers 1794-1904 [manuscript]
The Putnam family papers are mainly comprised of records documenting the land transactions of the Putnam family. Ordered chronologically, those records dating from 1794 to 1815 primarily consist of deeds to tracts of land in Ohio granted by the Ohio Company of Associates. In addition, this group of records also relates to the granting of land to David Putnam. The second chronological aggregation of records dating from 1834 to 1841 relates to legal and land transactions concerning Douglas Putnam and the Pickering family. Those records in this collection dating from 1871 to 1889 concern the legal records of land transactions in Cook County, Il. that document the role Samuel H. Putnam, Jr. played in the purchase and sale of land in Cook County, Il. These records include examinations of titles, deeds, and other legal documentation. In addition, this collection also includes a diary dating from 1862 to 1864 written by Rev. J. F. Scurlock, a Methodist minister who served for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Beyond a label located on the inner page of the diary marked with the name, Major Louise Putnam Todd, the relation of this diary to the remainder of the collection is uncertain.

Orderly books collection, 1758-1813.
This collection of orderly books encompasses the French and Indian War, the U.S. Revolution, and the War of 1812 with the majority of books dating from the Revolutionary period. Of special importance are those kept during the Siege of Boston (1775) and for the final years of the Revolution in the Highlands region of New York. Unless the cover or fly leaf cite the name of the owner, regiment, or brigade, it is often difficult to identify the volume positively, and general orders, are, for lack of more precise identification, occasionally described as "Headquarters Orderly Book" or "Brigade Orderly Book."

Swett, Samuel, 1774-1853. Papers, 1743-1847.
Title:
Papers, 1743-1847.
The bulk of this collection is comprised of records of Samuel Swett's role in the development of Boston shipping. The collection contains correspondence of business partners, as well as his son Samuel concerning the financial troubles of his farm in Rose Valley, N.Y. There is extensive correspondence (with documents) of William Wyler ( - ), master of the brig Henry and Francis, which was owned by Swett. In addition to correspondence, there are clearance papers, prices current in Marseille, France, accounts of sales, bills of lading, and many letters concerning Wyler's detention in Marseille and subsequent seizure by a British warship, 1809-1811. Wyler's letters reflect his attitude toward the Embargo Act, the British Orders in Council and France's Berlin and Milan Decrees. Much of the business correspondence and documents deal with building contracts for stores along Boston's wharves, contracts with Loring Jacob (1771-1846) for the building of Swett's houses in Boston and Dedham, 1806-1808, Swett's services as administrator of various estates, e.g., that of Dr. Claude Francis Sauvaget ( -1813), and his role as warden of the Episcopal Church of Dedham, 1806-1815, including papers concerning the lease of church land, bills, receipts, and a list of church property with names of tenants. The collection contains many land deeds, 1743-1847, especially those of Ebenezer Farley ( - ) and Asa Hammond ( - ), and insurance policies on ships owned by Swett and Horatio Sprague (1784- ) and held by the New England Marine Insurance Company, many of which contained exemptions from risk of seizure, 1809-1812. Of special interest are the papers relating to shares in Ohio land originally purchased by Dr. John Sprague (1718-1797) from the Ohio Company of Association in 1788. The papers include correspondence with Swett's agents in Marietta, Ohio, relative to yearly taxes on the land which he had purchased from Sprague, descriptions of his shares, a booklet listing the original shareholders who drew lots in Ohio land at Rice's Tavern (Providence, R.I.) in 1788, and a copy of an order by Gen. Rufus Putnam (1738-1824) calling for recruits to settle the territory in 1790. The collection contains shipping documents, 1796-1822, including cargo reports, invoices of goods, daily muster rolls, ship's deeds, passports, receipts of sales, and the correspondence of ships' captains describing seizures and detentions by the British. A few of Swett's ships mentioned in these papers are the Tyger, Edward Foster, and Fortuna on voyages to Gibraltar and Rio de Janiero. The account books, day books, and ledgers concern primarily Swett's shipping business and personal cash accounts, 1794-1821, in addition to farm accounts in Dedham, and entries in connection with his administration of the estate of John and Esther Harrison Sprague (1728-1811), 1811-1812.
