He was not himself one of the first settlers in Ohio, but his sons represented him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePutnam led his company down the Ohio River to Marietta on board a galley appropriately named the May?ower, giving new honor and fragrance to the name. He landed with his little company of forty-eight men April 7, 1788.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is no question that but for this clause in the Ordinance that territory, if it had remained a part of the country, would have been slave territory. It would have been settled from Virginia and Kentucky. As it was, it was saved to freedom as by fire.. The people of Indiana repeatedly petitioned Congress to be relieved from the clause prohibiting the introduction of slavery.
