He married 27 Sep 1846 in Jefferson Co., KY (Jefferson Co. (KY) Marriages Book 4:132) Susan E Armstrong, b. abt 1830 in KY (1860 US Census, supra [age 34, birthplace KY]; 1870 US Census, supra [age 40, birthplace KY]; 1880 US Census, supra [age 38, birthplace KY]), d. abt 1883 (Carroll Co.

In 1860, Samuel, Susan, and Emma were living in New Orleans. Samuel was 46 and born in KY. Susan was 34 and born in KY. Emma was 12, and born in KY. Samuel was a steam boat captain. 1860 US Census, LA, Orleans Par., New Orleans, 1st Ward, 1567/1922.

A Captain Sam Applegate was one of the earliest steam boat captains in the Shreveport area. See Texas Dept. of Ag. Bulletin Yearbook No. 13, 1909, p. 254. (“In the Shreveport trade, Captain Sam Applegate was the leading spirit until he retired just before the war, well fixed . . ..”).

In 1864, a “Captain Samuel Applegate, Winona” was mentioned in a list of Confederate rebels to be arrested by order of Adm. David Porter. Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion, Series 1, No. 26, p. 192 (1914).

Samuel does not appear in the 1868 property tax rolls for Carroll Co., MS. However, “Miss E Applegate”—probably his daughter does. She owns several large parcels of land. See 1868 Property Tax Rolls Carroll Co. (MS), Mississippi State Archives, Box 3239, img. 10 &20. Was Samuel hiding assets from creditors? This would be consistent with his wife Susan’s will, which transfers her property to him in trust for Emma.

In 1870, Samuel and Susan were enumerated in Carroll Co., MS. Samuel was 58, born in KY, and a farmer; Susan was 40 and born in KY. They were also enumerated there in 1880. Samuel was 68 and born in KY; Susan was was 38 and born in KY.

By 1875 Samuel seems to taken title to the land owned by Emma in 1868. In that year he appears on the property tax rolls owning several large parcels owned by Miss E Applegate in 1868. 1875 Property Tax Rolls Carroll Co. (MS), Mississippi State Archives, Box 3613, img 33.

Susan made her will in Louisville, Jefferson Co., KY on 15 January 1882. The attorney who drafted and witnessed the will in Louisville supplied an affidavit to the Carroll Co., MS, probate court regarding the drafting and witnessing of the will.

I have no death date for Samuel, but it must have been after his wife Susand’s death in 1883.
