The treasure today is the 1820 United States Census record for the Peter Putman household in Wayne, Steuben County, New York:
The Peter Putman entry is the third entry near the top of the page:
The family information from this record is:
* Head of household: Peter Putman
* one male aged 26 to 44 (perhaps son David)
* one male over age 45 (certainly Peter Putman)
* one female over age 45 (likely Sarah (Kinnan) Putman)
Son Victor Putman's entry is just above Peter's entry.
The source citation for this record is:

Peter Victorse Putman (1760-1855) married Sarah Kinnan (1760-1841) in 1780 in Wantage, New Jersey. They had five known sons and perhaps daughters.
Peter and Sarah (Kinnan) Putman are my 5th great-grandparents, through their son John Putman (1785-1863) who married Sarah Martin (1792-1860) in about 1810 in Seneca County, New York.
My biographical sketch for Peter Putman is in 52 Ancestors - Week 173: #252 Peter Victorse Putman (1760-1835) of New Jersey and New York and my sketch for Sarah (Kinnan) Putman is in 52 Ancestors - Week 174: #253 Sarah (Kinnan) Putman (1760-1841) of New Jersey and New York.
