Miles Putnam lived in Middleton until 1757, when he moved with his family to Harvard; from there he went to Winchendon where he was in 1772, for on 23 Aug. 1772, the church at Middleton dismissed him, and his wife Rachel, to the church at Winchendon. From Winchendon, they removed to Tomlinson, and finally, about 1783, to Grafton, VT." (Eben Putnam, History, Vol 1, pp. 157-58)
