JOHN PUTNAM17, the emigrant, was baptized in Wingrave 17 Jan., 1579. He married PRISCILLA, removed to Salem in 1640 or 1641, and died there in that part now Danvers, 30 Dec., 1662. He left three sons, the elder of whom, THOMAS18, was ancestor of Gens. Israel and Rufus Putnam; the youngest Capt. JOHN18, the most energetic of the sons, but whose descendants are the least in number; and NATHANIEL18, who is the ancestor of a majority of the persons bearing the name today. His homestead was between the present Danvers Square and Tapleyville. These three sons were baptized at Aston Abbotts, a parish adjoining Wingrave.
From Ibid., pp. 550-51; 552-54:
The ancestry of PHEBE PUTNAM, wife of Gilbert Tapley, and grandmother of Ruthe Tapley, wife of Col. Joel Hewes of Lynnfield, is taken from a pedigree published in 1909, entitled "PUTTENHAM OF PUTTENHAM-PUTNAM OF SALEM."
GALO1, living in the reign of Henry I, is named as the father of RICHARD2, living in the time of Henry II. (1154-1189), who was lord of the manor of Puttenham in Hertfordshire when he presented the living of the church of Puttenham to the Prior and Canons of Ashby, which gift was confirmed in 1278 by his descendant, "JOHANNES5 filius WALE." The line of descent from this Richard to Wale father of John is not of known record, but in 1199 SIMON3, a knight, and RALPH3, who held a knight's fee in Puttenham in 1210, are both described as "de Puttenham" WALTER DE PUTTENHAM4 is found living in Puttenham in 1252, and is undoubtedly identical with "Wale," who was father of John5, lord of Puttenham in 1278 and in 1291. This John5 had a son John6, whose wife in 1305 was Agnes. A contemporary of the elder John5 was HENRY5 DE PUTTENHAM, who was a follower of Edmund Plantagenet, Earl of Cornwall. Probably John5 and Henry5 were brothers. It is also probable that the "LADY of PUTTENHAM," who in 1303 held half a knight's fee in Puttenham, was widow of one or the other. She was mother of SIR ROGER DE PUTTENHAM6, who was born prior to 1272. Sir Roger had wife Alina in 1315, and possessed lands in Puttenham in Herts, of which shire he was sheriff in 1322, and in Penne, Bucks, which lands descended to Nicholas the prepositus named in the heraldic visitation of 1534. Alina was probably identical with Helen (the two names being the same), who was daughter of John Spigurnel and niece of Sir Henry Spigurnel, the justice. She married, after the death of Sir Roger, Thomas de la Hay, king's commissioner and knight of the shire in 1337. Thomas de la Hay held lands in Penne in the right of his wife, and also Puttenham, with reversion to the heirs of Roger Puttenham.
This SIR ROGER6 PUTTENHAM supported Edward II in his contest against the Mortimers. His heir was another SIR ROGER7, who received a pardon in 1338, and was knight of the shire in 1355 and 1374. He was twice married. He had two sons, one, ROGER8, a priest, the other, ROBERT8, who held Puttenham and Marston, and lands in Penne, etc., and who was living in 1356. His son WILLIAM9 was sergeant-at-arms to the king in 1386, and married MARGARET WARBLETON, who, upon the death of her father, John de Warbleton, brought extensive estates in Berkshire and Hampshire to the Putnams. Their son HENRY10, who died 1473, aged 65 and over, was the father of WILLIAM PUTTENHAM11, who married ANNE HAMPDEN, and therefore grandfather of Sir George Puttenham12, Edmund Puttenham12 and Nicholas12 Puttenham. The last named was the younger son, and had the Penne estates. He and his descendants were usually described as Putnam, though it was not until after the time of the migration that the use of the longer style spelling became obsolete. NICHOLAS PUTNAM12 had two sons. JOHN13, the elder, had the Penne property, still known as Putnam Farm. His male descendants died out in the persons of his grandchildren. HENRY13, the younger son, was named in the will of his brother John13 in 1526.
BIOGRAPHY: JOHN PUTNAM15 of Wingrave and Slapton was son of RICHARD14 of Eddlesboro and Woughton, who owned land in Slapton also, and was undoubtedly a grandson of Nicholas12. As he was not of the Penne family, and as no other sons of Nicholas are known, it follows he was Henry's13 son. The names Henry and Nicholas were continued only in this Woughton and Wingrave family.
The elder line, seated at Sherfield on Loddon in Hampshire, descended from Sir George Puttenham12, became extinct in the male line in the persons of his grandsons, Richard14, Francis14 and George14. The last named was the author of "Arte of English Poesie," one of the recognized English classics, and which has lately been shown to be a source much drawn on by Shakespeare. Sir George14 had a romantic and strenuous career, as did his brother Richard14. Both were grandsons of the great writer on English law, Sir Thomas Eliot. Their sister Margaret14 married Sir John Throckmorton, Justice of Chester, and had a son Francis. Francis Throckmorton suffered death for conspiring to free Mary, Queen of Scots. His body was quartered after the barbarous fashion of that day.
John Putnam15 of Wingrave, mentioned above, died in 1573. His son NICHOLAS16 died in 1598. Margaret, widow of Nicholas, married, second, William Huxley, and died in 1619. NICHOLAS16 was a yeoman, having property in Stukeley and also in Wingrave, the next parish to Puttenham, and was the father of JOHN PUTNAM17, who settled in Salem, Massachusetts.

Among the families from whom Phebe21 (Putnam) Tapley descended is that of Warbleton, as mentioned above. The Warbletons were descended from WILLIAM DE WARBLETON, who was kinsman and heir of Thomas de Warbleton who died in 1286. William's son Thomas was sheriff of Hampshire and was probably engaged in the battle of Bannockburn (1310). Prof. Burrows wrote of him3, "such a man was like the old Earls * * * * he would in short, appear to have been formed in the school of Edward I, and to have been brought forward by that monarch on account of his personal worth." Through the Warbletons, Phebe21 (Putnam) Tapley inherited the blood of the Foxles, a family distinguished for their wealth and responsible positions held. SIR JOHN DE FOXLE had risen in the service of the king until he became a judge. He was one of King Edward's barons. He died in 1325, leaving a son (by wife Constantia, daughter of John de la Hoese), Sir Thomas Foxle, who was a more important man than his father, and who was constable of Windsor Castle from 1328 until his death. He was associated with Sir John de Brocas in the rebuilding of that castle, a work completed by the famous William de Wykeham, who was a prot‚g‚ of Foxle and of the Brocas family. This SIR JOHN DE BROCAS was of an ancient Gascon family, and his daughter Matilda married Sir John de Foxle, son of Sir Thomas.
BIOGRAPHY: 3 "Brocas of Beaurepaire," a volume of exceeding interest to every descendant of John Putnam.
BIOGRAPHY: Through the Hampdens, Phebe21 (Putnam) Tapley, inherited another long line of distinguished ancestry. Both through the WARBLETONS and through the HAMPDENS she was descended from the DAMMARTIN family, Counts of Dammartin in France. Through the Hampdens, and again through the Dammartins, she came from the Fiennes family, which held important posessions in both the English and French territories of the English kings. An ancestor, WILLIAM DE FIENNES, was son of Ingelram de Fiennes or Fienles, a siegneur in Boulogne (who lost his life at Acon in 1189,) by his wife, SYBILLA DE BOULOGNE DE TYNGRIE, an important personage and daughter and sole heiress of FARAMUS DE BOULOGNE. Faramus was one of the most important nobles of the court of King Stephen, and retained favor under his successor, Henry II. He was son of William de Boulogne, son of Geoffrey, born about 1062, by a daughter of the Norman GEOFFREY DE MANDEVILLE; and grandson of Eustace II, sovereign count of Boulogne, by Ida daughter of Godfrey IV, Duke of Lorrain. Eustace was great grandson of Charles, Duke of Nether Lorraine and Brabant, who died in 992, and who should have succeeded his father, Louis IV, as King of France. Louis IV died in 954. He was descended through a line of French kings from the great Charlemagne, emperor, who died 814, and was cannonized in 1165, and from ALFRED THE GREAT of England, and HENRY I of Germany. To follow the ramifications of the ancestral lines of Phebe (Putnam) Tapley through various English and French families would yield much of interest, for she inherited distinguished ancestry, not in one line but in many, each ascending generation opening out more and more into historic families whose records have been preserved to a much greater extent than the average individual has any conception of.
For details of many of the families lightly touched upon above reference can be had to the "Putnam Lineage," by Eben Putnam, published in 1908; "Brocas of Beaurepaire and Roche Court," by Montagu Burrows, 1886; "Le grand Feudataire Renaud de Dammartin et la coalition de Bouvines," by M.
