Except where otherwise noted, all Putnam Co, OH records were transcribed by Combs Researcher Kathy Rinke
Putnam County was established in 1820 from Shelby Co's "attached" unorganized territory, but not officially organized until 1834, up until which time it was attached to Wood Co. In 1848, Allen Co gained substantially from southern Putnam (See below). Putnam County is located in the northwest area of Ohio, bordering on Van Wert, Paulding, Defiance, Henry, Hancock and Allen counties. The northeastern corner of Putnam borders the southwestern corner of Wood county. Putnam county was formed from old Indian territory 1 Apr 1820, named for General Israel Putnam, a native of Massachusetts and a prominent early military man.

Note: The above land is in present-day Allen, but appears to have been in that part of Putnam which did not become Allen until 1848 (See 1840 Putnam Co Census). Thus Job COMBS was of Highland Co, OH in Oct 1835, but by Feb 1836, had moved to the above land which was at that time in Putnam Co, OH.
