Pioneers
Putnam County Pioneers
Welcome to the Putnam County Pioneers page. The criteria for inclusion on this page is that your ancestor must have been in Putnam County, Indiana by 1830. This date was chosen because it is also the cut-off date for the Society of Indiana Pioneers which is sponsored by the Indiana Historical Society.
This is an unofficial collection of names of pioneers and for that reason there are no application forms, no membership dues - nothing other than the chance to have your ancestors' names listed as a pioneer of Putnam County.
Information needed is the name of the pioneer, the date of settlement in Putnam County (or other qualifying event, ie. , marriage), where they were originally from and the name of the descendant. If you have a home page where information about this ancestor may be located, please include the URL and I will link to your home page.
NOTE: I found this in a buried portion of a data directory, thought I would put it up. I doublt if e-mail links are good, none of web the sites worked. I do not believe this ever got finished, so it was not posted. Jim
