From A History of the Putnam Family, pages 40–42:198
    Edward’s will was dated 11 March, 1731, proved 11 April, 1748, “Edward Putnam of Middleton, yeoman.” Mentions his wife Mary, sons Edward, Joseph, Elisha, Ezra, Isaac, daughters Prudence and Abigail, granddaughters Elizabeth and Anna Flint.
    ... Edward was made freeman in 1690, and on 3 Dec, 1690, was chosen deacon of the First Church in Danvers. His name stands second in the list of deacons, Nathaniel Ingersoll having been appointed on the 1 Dec, 1690. From 1690 to 1876, one hundred and eighty-six years, there have been in all twenty-five deacons in this church, of whom fourteen have borne the name of Putnam. Like all of the family, he was a farmer, and in his will styled himself “yeoman.” His farm was in what is now known as Middleton, but in the last years of his life he occupied a house not far from the church at the village.
    During the witchcraft troubles he was a member of the party which brought charges against so many innocent people. His whole course, however, shows that he acted only as he believed was right and good for the community. As soon as the girls were declared bewitched, he repaired to the house of his
brother and there proceeded to examine them in order to ascertain whether or not they were truthful in their declarations. His own innocence of all wrong is shown by the ease with which he was deceived. After a thorough examination he was convinced that the girls were bewitched and then did what he considered his duty. His action, however, in the proceedings was never bitter or vehement; he merely testified as to what he had seen and to what appeared to him to be probable.
    It was somewhat rare in those days to find men with any literary ability outside of the ministry, but Edward Putnam bad had a good education and was evidently fond of his books and of writing. He expressed himself in a rather ornate style of language. The following is a fair example, from the records of the church, in his own handwriting. This tribute is to the memory of the Rev. Joseph Green who died 26 Nov., 1715.
    “Then was the choicest flower and greenest olive tree in the garden of our God here cut down in its prime and flourishing estate at the age of forty years and two days, who had been a faithful ambassador from God to us eighteen years. Then did that bright star set, and never more to appear here among us; then did our sun go down, and now what darkness is come upon us! Put away and pardon our iniquities, O Lord I which have been the cause of our sore displeasure, and return to us again in mercy, and provide yet again for this thy flock a pastor after thy own heart, as thou hast promised to thy people in thy word: on which promise we have hope, for we are called by their name, and, oh, leave us not!”
    Deacon Edward was also the first historian and genealogist of our family. His account written in 1733 is the basis upon which all of like nature have been founded. From this period is traced the tradition of the emigration in 1634, although the records would point to a later date (1640).
For many interesting facts concerning Deacon Edward Putnam and his generation, the reader is referred to “Upham’s Witchcraft.” In that work one will find much of value to the genealogist as well as to the historian, especially in regard to our own family.

Edward’s will is recorded on pages 42–47 of A History of the Putnam Family.198
