Putnam-67 and Avery-1879 appear to represent the same person because: Ruth Putnam is actually d/o Israel's 2nd wife Deborah and Deborahs' first husband E. Avery. Birthdate is the 15th.

I agree with you.

I've been looking into Ruth. She is not in the town record; does not have a stone at the cemetery; is not listed in the Eben Putnam Genealogy; nor in the biography Israel Putnam Pioneer, not at NEHGS or Family Search. The only place I can track her is at least 100+ Ancestry trees. The vast majority of those have her listed as daughter of Deborah Gardiner. I believe she is in fact Ruth Avery d/o Deborah and Ephraim Avery, who was born Jan 15 1754. If I hear no objections I will propose to merge her into Ruth Avery.

Putnam-830 and Putnam-67 appear to represent the same person because: same name and birth . she is not a known child of Gen. Israel. Do you have valid sourcing for this?
