died in 1699, leaving 10 children orphans, two children having predeceased them. He is responsible for the accusations of 43 people, and his daughter is responsible for 62.
Putnam, his wife Ann, and their daughter Ann all levied accusations of witchcraft, many of them against extended members of the Porter family, and testified at the trials. 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. He was excluded from major inheritances by both his father and father-in-law.
His father was one of Salem's wealthiest residents. Thomas served in the military and held the rang of Sergeant. They had 12 children: Ann, Thomas, Elizabeth, Ebenzer, Ebenezer, Deliverance, Timothy, Experience, Abigail, Susanna, Seth, and two who died young. She was born at Salem Village on June 15, 1661, the youngest daughter of George and Elizabeth Carr. He married Ann Carr on September 25, 1675, at Salem Village.

After 1692, the religious and political conflicts in Salem Village provided the impetus for community formation and expansion in the new town of Framingham.Thomas Putnam (Ma – June 3, 1699) was a member of the Putnam family and a resident of Salem Village (present-day Danvers, Massachusetts) and a significant accuser in the notorious 1692 Salem witch trials.

I discuss the emigration of the Nurse, Cloyse, and Bridges families to Framingham in light of conflict over the extension of church membership through the Halfway Covenant during the Reverend Thomas Green’s tenure in Salem Village. I argue that reconciliation came only after the resignation of the Reverend Samuel Parris and the out-migration of the disaffected families to a new community. In this paper, I follow the story of a group of witch trial victims and their families to illuminate the religious and political tensions after the trials ended in 1693. The Salem witch trials have fascinated historians since the eighteenth century, but as Mary Beth Norton aptly states there is still “much of the complicated Salem story remains untold.” Previous scholarship has failed tell fully the story of the trials’ aftermath.
