Was Zachariah Putnam Sr. really Thomas Putnam III and Elizabeth Whipple Putnam's son? Other sites suggest that he (Zachariah Sr.) was from the Virginia line of Putnam's. This has been baffling me for a while now...I am a direct descendant of Zachariah Sr. It would be neat if he was a New England Putnam, but a couple of sites, this one other say he is from this line, and others say he was from Virginia...both lines are related, by cousins and uncles and aunts and such...but others sites say he is solely from Virginia line. Any info you have to solve this would be greatly appreciated...I am personally leaning towards him being a Virginia line Putnam...but not "completely" positive.
Thanks,
