General Notes: Husband - Ephraim Putnam

---

He was an early settler in Salem. He settled first in what is now Wilton, near the north cemetery, but later removed to Lyndeborough, New Hampshire. It is said that the first three settlers in Lyndeborough, living each upon a hill, signalled to each other in the morning if all was well. While the early settlers of Lyndeborough appear to have feared the Indians greatly and petitioned for soldiers to protect them, they do not seem to have been molested. The home of Deacon Ephraim was destroyed by fire a short time after his death, and at that time the family records were destroyed.
