Maritje Margareta B. Pootman

1 january 1763, 21 januari 1763 and 20 october 1749	provisionally not accepted as birth days

Margretje (Arent, Victor, Johannes)

    Margaret Putman was baptized 26 February 1744 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Schenectady.  She was the eldest daughter of Arent Putman and Elizabeth Peek and probably married Jacob Snook.

Arent and Elizabeth Putman may have had only one daughter named Margaret. Eben Putnam in History of the Putnam Family lists two Margaret Putman's born to Arent Putman and Elizabeth Peek. Eben says that the second Margaret married Simon H. Vedder 1 June 1777. However, Eben gives the same husband for Margaret Putman the daughter of Cornelius and Elizabeth Putman. Both can't be true.
It is likely Arent and Elizabeth Putman had but one daughter named Margaret, born in 1744, and she married Jacob Snook and lived in Tribes Hill, NY.
Margaret Snook held Pew No. 19, Seat No. 1, at the Dutch Reformed Church of Caughnawaga in Fonda, NY. This seat was previously held by Elizabeth Peek Putman.

Maria (Arent, Victor, Johannes)

    Maria Putman the daughter of Arent Putman and Elizabeth Peek was baptized 21 January 1763 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Schenectady.  Maria may have married Francisco Kingsbury 23 September 1787 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Caughnawaga.  Another possibility is that she married John Kitt.

The Pension Compendium says that John Kitt was born in 1758/9 and was a resident of Lowville, Lewis County, New York, in 1832. In his Revolutionary War Pension Application, John said he entered the military from his home in Johnstown, New York, in 1775, and was a corporal for three years under Captain Andrew Wemple in the 3rd. New York Regiment commanded by Frederick Fischer. In May 1780, captain Wemple deserted to the enemy and Colon Fischer was wounded and scalped. John's company command was then turned over to Captain Minard W. Quackenbush and Colon Volkert Veeder. John Kitt served as a sergeant and was appionted to that rank in 1778.

 John (Arent, Victor, Johannes) 

    John A. Putman was born at Tribes Hill in 1766.  He married Matilda, or Machtelt, Visscher the daughter of Johannes and Annatie Visscher.  She was born at Fort Hunter 22 July 1769.  John and Matilda lived for a few years in Albany but resettled in Tribes Hill.  John is shown by deeds to have owned part of the land set off to Arent Putman.  Arent received the original tract from the partition of the property of Victor Putman, his father.
