I am trying to verify the wives of Josiah.
I have Mary (Polly) Putman,
Emma (Erma) Putman,
Mary (Polly) Newton
Emma was b. abt 1762 and died 21 Dec 1827 , age 74, buried Northville
Cemetery, Newport, Sullivan, NH C100
A Polly born abt 1773 died 29 March 1869, age 96, buried Northville
Cemetery, Newport, Sullivan, NH C130

I have found a Mary (Polly) Putnam on World Connect with Josiah but her
birth date is listed as 1761 and if it was her that died in 1869 she
would have been 108 not 96 , so most likely the Mary (Polly) Newton.
Emma died in 1827 which would have left him plenty of time to remarry
but he did die 1836 . I have one marriage date of 1782 and another of
1829.
Does any one have the correct dates or more information on this family?
Were Emma & Mary sisters as both are Putnam.
Thanks for your help. Judith
