"Andrew Putman" was known as "Andreas Boudemont" in German records and as "Andre Baudemont," by his signature on the ship Osgood list. According to Evangelisch Kirche records, he was born in Bayern, Pfalz, Rohrbach-Steinweiler, the son of Philipp Boudemont and Maria Magdalene Pouchet or Buchell.
Andrew married Catherine Barbara Bourgey on January 10, 1747, in Rohrbach.
He and his young family sailed to America on ship "Osgood," captained by William Wilkie, from Rotterdam, last from Cowes, with 480 other passengers, arriving in Philadelphia on September 29, 1750.
Andrew acquired land 12 miles south of Eakles' Mills, Hagerstown, Washington Co., MD. His grants and purchases were comprised of 142 acres which he called "Partnership" and "Resurvey on Roots Hill." He became a naturalized citizen on September 24, 1762 after being baptized at the German Reformed Church of Frederick Town by the reknown Reverend William Otterbein.
Andrew and Catherine worked hard on the sucessful farm estate and raised the following children: John Frantz Putman (md. Sarah Schneider), Peter Putman, (md. Anna Maria Snyder), Elizabeth Putman (md. John Dull), Mary Magdalina Putman (md. Henry Bruner), Amelia Putman (md. Christian Wyandt), Susanna Putman (md. Henry Baker), Catherine Putman (md. Adam Schneider), and Andrew Putman (md. (Anna Elizabeth Lenhart).
Andrew Putman's will was probated and recorded on June 14, 1777. His son-in-law, Adam Schneider, took over the homestead in 1779. Andrew's wife Catherine was to have use of the farm until her death, which occured in 1793. In 1783, the estate was sold to the heirs of Christian Weyandt and remained in the family until at least 1919. The original wooden farm house was still standing in the 1920s and was occupied by the Snyder family, descendants of Andrew. Andrew and Catherine are "buried in Kefauver's Apple Orchard", probably near their estate.
The following is a transcription printed in the "Antietam Valley Record," April, 1899 - from a copy found by Rev. Ezra Clayton Wyand in an old German Bible in the attic of the Christian Wyandt home:
The burial ground is "here forty-two yards from the fence on the line south of the orchard, and forty-two yards east from the rocks above the branch of water, and about 150 yards direct south from the house, is the side of the family burial plot, and here lies, to my knowledge, the remains of Rose Wyand, my father's sister. My father's brother, Caleb Wyand, pointing out the plot to me on Jan. 1, 1909, remarked that it used to be enclosed with a paling fence, around which he plowed when a boy, and later when the fence had decayed, and fallen, he plowed across the plot. George Fisher, an old colored man, an ex-slave and war veteran, tells me that he and Pembroke Griffith there years ago plowed out grave stones. Mrs. Amelia Rohrer, a descendant who is now in her eightieth year, tells me that she attended funerals which were held in the barn. I believe Christian Wyandt is buried here also."
