PUTNAM, Rufus, soldier, was born in Sutton, Mass., April 9, 1738; son of Elisha and Susanna (Fuller) Putnam; grandson of Edward (half-brother of Joseph) and Mary (Hall) Putnam, and of Jonathan and Susan (Trask) Fuller; great-grandson of Thomas Putnam, and great2-grandson of John and Priscilla (Gould) Putnam. His grandfather, Edward Putnam, and Gen. Israel Putnam's father, Joseph Putnam, were half brothers. Rufus Putnam's father died in 1745 and Rufus was taken into the family of his grandfather, Jonathan Fuller, who resided at Danvers, Mass., where he attended school two years. When his mother was married to Capt. John Sadler of Upton, he removed to the inn kept by his stepfather, where he had no school privileges, and when sixteen years old was apprenticed to a millwright in North Brookfield, from that time devoting his leisure to study. When nineteen years old, he enlisted in Capt. Ebenezer Leonard's company for service on the northern frontier against the French and Indians, and reaching Fort Edward in April, 1757, was made a scout in the company of Capt. Israel Putnam. He declined a lieutenant's commission in 1759 and returned to Massachusetts, settling in New Braintree, where he followed the occupations of millwright and farmer. He was married in April, 1761, to Elizabeth, daughter of William Ayers of Brookfield; she died, 1762. He married secondly, Jan. 10, 1765, Persis, daughter of Zebulon Rice of Westboro, and they made a new home in North Brookfield. With Col. Israel Putnam and other officers of the Colonial army, he explored lands in East Florida granted by Parliament to Provincial officers and soldiers, and in January, 1773, surveyed the supposed grant, which proved to be of no value. He was made lieutenant-colonel of [p.438] Col. David Brewer's Worcester County regiment on his return to Massachusetts in 1775, joined the American army at Roxbury, and was appointed engineer to take charge of the works about Boston. On the night of March 4-5, 1775, he constructed the fortification on Prospect Hill, Dorchester Heights, a masterly piece of engineering, which compelled the evacuation of Boston, March 17, 1776, saving Washington the necessity of attacking with an inferior force the British army entrenched in Boston. He also constructed fortifications for the defence of Providence and Newport, Rhode Island, in December, 1775. He was transferred to New York when Gen. Israel Putnam commanded that city, and planned its defenses. He was appointed chief engineer of the Continental army with the rank of colonel, Aug. 11, 1776, and took part in the battle of Long Island, Aug. 27, 1776, and in the retreats of the army to Harlem and across into New Jersey. He directed the construction of the temporary fortifications that protected the rear of Washington's army and prevented the enemy capturing the baggage trains and stores. Congress, disappointed that New York had fallen into the possession of the British, and fearing for the safety of Philadelphia, questioned the engineering skill of Colonel Putnam and he resigned, Dec. 8, 1776. Washington, however, stated that he was the best engineer in the army, whether American or French. Upon returning to Massachusetts Putnam rejoined the army, Dec. 17, 1776, as colonel of the 5th Massachusetts regiment under General Gates, and in the campaign that culminated in the surrender of General Burgoyne's army at Saratoga, Oct. 17, 1777, he bore a conspicuous part. In March, 1778, he superintended the construction of the defenses of the Highlands of the Hudson in the neighborhood of West Point, building forts Wyllis, Webb and Putnam, the last being named for him by General McDougall. He also commanded a regiment in Gen. Anthony Wayne's brigade, joining the American forces at Peekskill in June, 1778, and was in active service from the battles of Stony Point to the close of the campaign. He was transferred to Boston where he obtained relief from the government for the Massachusetts troops in 1780, and was engaged from February to July, 1782, in adjusting the claims of citizens of New York for damages caused to their property by the war. He was commissioned brigadier-general, Jan. 8, 1783, and at the request of Washington reported a comprehensive plan for fortifying the whole country, which was submitted to congress but not acted upon, owing to the opposition in that body to preparing for war in time of peace. He purchased the confiscated property of Daniel Murray, an absentee, located at Rutland, Mass., in 1780, and made it his home. He was aide to Gen. Benjamin Lincoln in quelling Shays's rebellion in 1787, and represented his town in the general court of Massachusetts in 1787. He planned the settlement of Ohio territory by a company of veteran soldiers from New England in 1782, and in his plans made the absolute exclusion of slavery an inflexible condition. He urged the matter upon President Washington, 1782-87, as shown by his correspondence, and the President in turn urged the scheme upon congress, but could get that body to take no interest in it. Washington therefore secured the appointment of Putnam by congress as surveyor of the Northwest territory, and Putnam sent Gen. Tupper as his deputy to examine the country in the winter of 1785-86. The two veterans met at Putnam's home, Rutland, Mass., Jan. 9, 1786, and planned the meeting of the veteran soldiers of Massachusetts in Boston, March 1, 1786. When the Ohio company was organized in 1787, Putnam was made the director of all their affairs. He sent Samuel H. Parsons (q.v.) to congress in 1787 to negotiate the purchase, but when he retired unsuccessful, Putnam sent Manasseh Cutler (q.v.), who secured the territory, including the provision to exclude slavery by the passage of the ordinance, July 13, 1787,—the sum to be paid, as fixed by the measures passed July 27, to be $1,500,000, the veteran soldiers settling in the territory to surrender their claims for half pay. General Putnam then organized his band of forty-eight men and made the journey to Ohio, reaching Marietta, April 7, 1788, where they made the first permanent settlement in the eastern part of the Northwest territory. The centennial of the settlement was celebrated by the states carved from the Northwest territory, April 7, 1888, when Senator Hoar of Massachusetts delivered the oration, in which he took occasion to give General Putnam his rightful place in the history of the settlement of the Northwest. General Putnam was appointed judge of the supreme court of the territory in 1789, and was commissioned brigadier-general, U.S.A., May 4, 1792, serving with General Wayne in the operations to quell the Indian trouble on the frontier. He was U.S. commissioner to treat with the Indians, 1792-93, which led to a treaty with eight Indian tribes at Point Vincent, Sept. 27, 1792. He resigned his commission in the army, Feb. 15, 1793, and was surveyor-general of the United States, 1793-1803; a founder of Muskingum academy, 1798; a trustee of the Ohio university, 1794-1824; a delegate to the Ohio constitutional convention of 1802, where his determined opposition prevented by one vote the introduction of a clause preserving the rights of slaveholders within the state. He was an organizer of the first bible society west of the Alleghanies in 1812. He was the last living [p.439] officer of the Continental army. His manuscript diary was placed in the library of Marietta college, Ohio. A tablet placed on his house at Rutland, Mass., by the Society of Sons of the Revolution, was unveiled, Sept. 17, 1898, "Rufus Putnam, Founder and Father of Ohio." General Rufus Putnam died in Marietta, Ohio, May 4, 1824.

From National Socity of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Volume 8, Page 335 'In 1775 Rufus was a Lieutenant Colonel in Col. David Brewster's regiment. He was appointed engineer with the rank of Colonel and fortified Dorchester Heights. In 1778 with his cousin Gen. Israel Putnam, he superintended the fortifications at West Point. After the surprize at Stoney Point he comanded a regiment in Wayne's brigade, in which he served to the close of the war, when he was a Brigadier General.'
The Putnams of Salem Village by Harold Putnam including and index of Putnam deeds and wills from 1626-1699 Penobscot Press hardcover 112 pges with stories and dates. In this book the author says that the Elisha Putnam House was known as the Freeland Estate and it was like the house of an English Nobleman. Rufus' birthplace is marked by a stone on the Boston road. Gen Rufus obtained a grant in 1786 of 1,500,000 acres for his Ohio co., and left Danvers on 12/1/1787 to settle Marietta, Ohio on April 7, 1788. In 1787 he secured passage of an ordinance that prohibited slavery north of the Ohio river.
The Town of North Brookfield, situated in Worcester County, has a very varied history with many distinguished residents. The town had rich agricultural lands which were profitably farmed by early settlers, but developed a vigorous industrial economy as well, primarily in the shoe manufacturing and rubber products industries. Rufus Putnam, one of George Washington's chief engineers during the Revolution, served his apprenticeship in the town as a millwright at the Matthews Fulling Mills from 1754 to 1757. The Matthews Mills were themselves a tribute to 18th century engineering, since they included several canals and tunnels which made the natural glacial kettle holes in the area part of a mill ponding complex for the fulling mill. The town avoided the deadly smallpox epidemics of the 1770's by inoculating over 200 people with weakened smallpox virus. People came from as far away as Worcester to receive the inoculations of the experimental vaccine from North Attleborough physicians, Dr. Thomas and Dr. Kittridge, and then to convalesce through a mild form of the disease in small hospitals the town built on the outskirts of the community. ****************************************************************

GENERAL FORTIFICATION OF AMERICAN DEFENSES OF THE HEIGHTS, 1776. BUILT BY COL. RUFUS PUTNAM, AND PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS.
**************************************************************** A Walk Through Marietta In the early morning of April 7, 1788, a flatboat and three log canoes arrived at the mouth of the Muskingum River. A vanguard of 48 men of the Ohio Company, led by Gen. Rufus Putnam, came ashore and began a great historic adventure.
Shortly after landing the surveyors in the party set to work. Lots and streets were laid out and homes were built. A fort was built and named Campus Martius, and the Ohio Company Land Office was constructed, from which land grants were made and the territory was surveyed and platted. In July 1788, Gov. Arthur St. Clair arrived and the first civil government was established. The next month the first families arrived.
When Congress passed the Ordinance of 1787, which established the means of government in this territory north and west of the Ohio River, a new charter of freedom was established. The ordinance is one of the four fundamental documents in the establishment of our country and in it are first set forth many of the freedoms which later appeared in the Bill of Rights. One tenet, freedom from slavery, was not added to the Constitution until 1865. The Ohio Company of Associates was formed primarily by officers and soldiers of the Revolutionary War for the purpose of settling this 'Northwest Territory' and the company helped the Ordinance of 1787 pass in Congress.
Marietta is Ohio's first city and can rightfully be termed the birthplace of the Northwest Territory, which comprises the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota. It marks the starting point of America's great westward expansion.
Mound Cemetary : Set aside as a cemetary in 1788, it is believed that there are more officers(24) of the Revolutionary War buried here than in any other cemetary. Many of Marietta's pioneers are buried here, including Rufus Putnam. The mound is the burial place of a Hopewell Indian Chief. It is 30 feet high and 375 feet in circumference at its base.
Campus Martius Museum : This museum of the Northwest Territory occupies the site of the original fortification of the same name. The museum contains displays covering the establishment of the territory, the early settlement of Marietta, and its subsequent history. The primary exhibit is the home of Rufus Putnam, enclosed by the museum on its original site.
David Putnam House : This stone house was built in 1805 by David Putnam. In the wing of the home was established the first bank in Marietta. ****************************************************** The History of First Sentence of Article III of the Northwest Ordinance Research and writing by Jim Allison
Accomodationists rarely mention the history behind the first sentence of Article III of the Northwest Ordinance, and for good reason; the sentence does not reflect either the historical circumstances or the thinking that led to the passage of the Ordinance. Rather, the sentence was inserted into the document at the last minute at the urging of a group of New England land speculators for perfectly idiosyncratic reasons. There is nothing that one can conclude from the sentence except that the Continental Congress would have done anything to please the people they wanted to develop the Northwest Territory. The New England group, known as The Ohio Company Associates, was a group of Revolutionary War veterans. The leadership of this group was made up by Benjamin Tupper, General Rufus Putnam, Samuel Holden Parson, and its chief agent, the skillful lobbyist Manasseh Cutler, who was an ex-army chaplain. Reverend Cutler was known as that 'wheeler-dealer' from New England. The Ohio Associates main business was land speculation, but the management, at least, had a secondary business. This was a time when various states were disestablishing religion, separating civil governments from religion, and granting complete religious freedom to their citizens. The New England States, as a whole, had a history of close involvement between church/state, even to the extreme of having had theocracies in some places in the previous century. To say the least, they were reluctant to embrace the emerging doctrine of church/state separation. They were also extremely fearful of the spread of what they termed 'Popery' (i.e. Catholicism). True religious freedom was a scary concept for many people, especially in the New England states. When the ban against religious tests was placed in Article VI of the Federal Constitution (the true separation clause), for example, editorials throughout the New England area bemoaned the fact in almost panic terms. The Ohio Company Associates were very desirous, at the least, of protecting their religious viewpoints, and possibly spreading it beyond their own state boundaries. What is more, the Associates were in a position to get just about anything they wanted from Congress, since Congress wanted to ensure that Cutler and his group would buy large tracts of land in the Territories. Accordingly, The Ohio Company Associates pressed Congress hard to get both a good deal on the land, and a guarantee that they could implement their own church/state system on this land. By all accounts they were successful in achieving both goals. With respect to land speculation, historian Richard B. Morris notes the following: Even the provisions for land sales at public auction, ..., did not satisfy the speculators. In July 1787, the Ohio Company Associates offered to buy a million and a half acres lying beyond the survey for a dollar an acre payment in loan office certificates issued to officers and soldiers of the Continental Army. This was a great deal for the associates since the national debt certificates were selling on the open market at 10 cents on the dollar.... To win a key ally, the associates proposed making General Arthur St. Clair territorial governor. At that time St. Clair was serving as president of Congress....[Note: the President of Congress was the forerunner of President of the United States, and under the Articles of Confederation the holder of this office also had the right to vote as a member of Congress. That meant that whomever held that office not only had the power of persuasion, as did any member of Congress, he also controlled one vote, his own, and had the added prestige of that particular position. That position at that time did not have the full powers or authority that it would gain under the Constitution, as the position of President of the United States, yet it did carry some intangibles as far as 'authority' was concerned.] The deal had smooth sailing. Not only did Cutler's group get the million and half acres but also an option on another five million. As part of the ' understanding,' St. Clair was elected the first territorial governor, Winthrop Sargent, one of the Ohio Company principles, territorial secretary (The Forging of the Union: 171-1789, p. 228-229). They were almost as successful in getting Congress to agree to their religious demands. Briefly, because of the influence of the Ohio Company Associates, the New England voting block refused to vote for the Ordinance unless it contained language allowing for some type of religious establishment. Accordingly, only two days before its passage, the following language was written into Article III of the Ordinance: Institutions for the promotion of religion and morality, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged. In the final version of the amendment, however, this strong language calling for the encouragement of religious institutions was dropped in favor of the following: Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged. Hence, the Ohio Company Associates were unable to get everything they wanted. While they were successful in getting Congress to agree that religion and morality were necessary to good government, the language of the ordinance did not explicitly authorize support for religious institutions, or religious instruction in the schools. As constitutional scholar Derek Davis observes, this change in wording 'could indicate that at least some members of Congress were at least considering `establishment' overtones; they may have been attempting to ensure that the sustenance of religious life would come from the people and the schools, not from government (Original Intent, p. 108-109). In summary, there is little evidence that Congress had any particular interest in writing establishment of religion into the Northwest Ordinance. On the contrary, the first sentence of Article III would likely never have been written at all in the absence of the influence of the Ohio Company Associates. Further, the language of the Ordinance was watered down to obscure any direct support for religion. There is nothing in the history of the Ordinance, in other words, to suggest that the first sentence of Article III was either a well thought out policy, or a deliberate attempt by Congress to aid religion. ********************************************************** The Muskingum River, because of its size and location, has played an important role in Ohio's history. It is the largest river lying solely within Ohio, draining an area equal to one-fifth of the entire state. Missionaries settled along the headwaters of this picturesque river in 1761. The first permanent settlement in Ohio was established in 1788 at Marietta. One of the city's founders, General Rufus Putnam, recognized the economic potential of the Muskingum River for transporting raw materials to eastern markets and brought in New England shipbuilders. In 1824, steam-powered paddle wheelers joined the flatboat and keelboat traders, generating public support for river navigation. West Point graduate Major Samuel Curtis designed a system of 10 dams and 11 locks to connect the Muskingum River to the Ohio and Erie Canal at Dresden. Opened in 1841, the system provided navigable waterways from Marietta to Lake Erie. ****************************************************** Ordinance of 1785 by speculators to sell large parcels of land Rufus Putnam founded Marietta for Arthur St. Clair's Ohio Co.
