Peter Putman of Almond, New York, had a son John who had a son named Victor as I understand. It seems that both Peter Putman of Yates County, New York, and Peter Putman of Allegeny County, New York, descend from Victor Putman, also known as Potman and Pottman of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Victor seems to have lived in the area of Mount Bethel, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, and probably lived along the Delaware River opposite Ramsey, New Jersey, where he may have had a ferry. In a sketch of the family of Peter Putman [Allegeny] it was said that Peter came from the Delaware River area. He was born in Pennsylvania. There was a John Potman listed in Mount Bethel in a census taken about 1770. This John Potman seems to have been the father of Peter of Allegany and the uncle of Peter of Yates County, New York.
