For the purposes of this website, a PIONEER is anyone living in the area of Alachua, Putnam, Clay, Marion, Orange and St. Johns counties that became PUTNAM County on or before January 13, 1849 thru the end of the year 1860.

A list of those persons is being compiled from the 1850 and 1860 Federal census and the federal and state Bureau of Land Management records. We encourage you to submit your Putnam County Pioneers, their stories, photographs, documents and records for placement on this website.
