Notes for Johannes "John" Putman (Dominie)

Putman, A.H.; "History of the Family of Putman in the Netherlands; 1736; p 1.

John Putman was a man of great and varied knowledge. He was very decided, and of strong religious opinions. He had a decided opposition to the Armenian faction, who tried all manner of misrepresentations to have him join their party. (See "Revius' History of Deventer"; 1618; p 594.) John had to leave his native place, due to his strong religious beliefs. He migrated to Markel, Holland, and kept himself concealed. John taught school there for some years, and was later appointed the Pastor of the church at Goor, Holland. John Putman's name was cast in the bell of the church of Goor, Holland, where he was buried.380
