Samuel Putnam

A disambiguation is needed between Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court judge Samuel Putnam (1768-1853) and translator and author Samuel Whitehall Putnam (1892-1950). At the moment, the item in the "notable members" list describes the judge, but links to the author.

The author appears in the second list, which has been commented out, for some reason.

Here is my attempt at a biographical stub for the judge.

Samuel Putnam, LL.D. (1768-1853) was a 19th century American jurist. Samuel Putnam was born in Danvers, Massachusetts, April 13, 1768, the son of Gideon Putnam and Hannah Browne. He attended schools in Beverly and Andover,^[1] and attended Harvard College (Class of 1787). He practiced law in Salem, Massachusetts, and served terms in both houses of the Massachusetts legislature between 1808 and 1814. He was appointed to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in 1814.^[2] He served on the high court for twenty-eight years. Judge Putnam is primarily remembered for introducing the Prudent man rule in US Law. He died March 3, 1853, in Boston.

until Eric achieves his notability before returning this to the article

Chance Wilkins

>Chance Wilkins (1990- ), Attic Goblin, Delusional musician, self professed last descendent of Jonathan Putnam

Is this just a joke addition? Either way, it is in need of rewriting, even if Wilkins is a real and relevant figure. 2603:7080:1A00:73A4:E4E7:CD59:22D9:B891 (talk) 22:56, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
