When did the Putten family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Putten family history? The present generation of the Putten family is only the most recent to bear a name that dates back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. Their name comes from having lived in the village of Puttock in the county of Sussex. This habitation surname was originally derived from the Old English word puttoc which means kite, denoting a bird belonging to the hawk family.Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Putten include Puttoch, Puttock, Puttoc, Puttick, Puttoche, Puttocke, Putticke, Putteck, Puttex, Putton, Putten, Potton, Puttone, Pottone, Pottock, Pottocke, Pottoch and many more. First found in Sussex where they held a family seat from very early times, some say before the Norman Conquest of Duke William of Normandy in 1066 A.D. The first on record was Aelfricus Puttoc who was Lord of the manor of Puttock in the year 1034. At the time of the Battle of Hastings they had branched westward to Somerset where Aluried Puttoch held estates. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Putten research.

Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Putten were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: Putten Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century
