Thomas Putnam
Fun Fact:
His half-brother, Joseph, who had benefited most from their father’s estate, married into the rival Porter family, fueling ill will between the clans. Putnam, his wife, and one of his daughters (Ann Putnam Jr.) all levied accusations of witchcraft, many of them against extended members of the Porter family, and testified at the trials. So yeah, this was never about witches but rather money, power and prestige within the small society.

Unmarked graveGrave Location Description
As you make the turn into Maple Street immediately veer to the left and head for the narrow paved road and park. Walk the short distance to the modest gate was walk around the gate and make your way to the left to the large mound of dirt and grass that is separate from the tombstones. Here Ann Putnam Jr. and her mother Ann Putnam and father Thomas Putnam rest very uneasily in this unmarked grave.
