She was the youngest child of William R and lived with her sister Ellen Gilligan in the old family home at 164 Skillman, Brooklyn, NY, at the time of the probate of her father’s will. She received a specific bequest of $1,000 in the will. (Probate File of William R. Appelgate, Kings Co. (NY), December 7, 1891 [no file number]). In 1892, he was living with his sister Nellie and her husband Patrick Gilligan in Brooklyn, NY. She was 12. (1892 NY State Census, supra).
In 1900, she was enumerated in the household of her sister, Mary Ellen. The census gives her birthdate as March 1885, which conflicts with her age in the 1892 NY State Census. I tend to prefer the earlier date, based on it being given in documentation created closer to the date of the event. | Applegate, Rebecca A (I14085)

AN INSULT
---
Offered to Two Ladies on Fulton Street
---
Mr. A. T. Wernberg is Found Guilty by Justice Walsh and Ordered to Pay a Fine of Fifty Dollars or Go to Jail—He Pays the Fine.
Mrs. Kate Applegate appeared in Judge Walsh’s court this morning as complainant against Andrew J. Weinberg, charging him with having insulted her, while she and her husband, accompanied by two friends, were returning from the theater on the night of December 11. Mrs. Applegate is a modest looking young lady, and gave her testimony with apparent reluctance. The defendant is a brother of ex-District Attorney Weinberg, and was represented by counsel.
Mr.’s Kate Applegate testified in her behalf that she was a married woman and resided at No. 250 Navy street, and that on the night of December 11 she, her husband, her female cousin and the latters’ gentleman friend were returning home from the theater. As they were walking along Fulton street, her husband and his friend left them temporarily. They had scarcely done so when Wernberg and another man came up to them and grossly insulted them. Wernberg asked the witness to take a walk with him, and when she told him that if he did not leave instantly she would call her husband, Wernberg grasped her by the arm and attempted to draw her toward him. At this point her husband came up, and when the situation had been explained Mr. Applegate went for a policeman. Officer Jennings was found and arrested Wernberg.
Miss Susan Gerrity, the next witness called, testified that she had accompanied her cousin, Mr. Applegate, and Mr. Adams to the theater on the night in question. The young lady then corroborated Mrs. Applegate’s testimony and further described the case, saying that Wernberg had intimated that they were professional street walkers and asked them to accompany himself and friend around the corner, saying at the same time, “Oh, come one.” As they endeavored to evade Wernberg and his friend, the former had grasped them by the arms and separated them. Witness testified as to the arrival of the officer and the arrest of Wernberg.
THE HUSBAND’S TESTIMONY.
Mr. William F. Applegate, the husband of the lady, testified to having left his wife temporarily for the purpose of visiting a liquor store. He and his friend Adams had remained inside the liquor store but about five minutes and when they came out and ascertained that his wife had been insulted, Wernberg came up to him and asked what business witness had to interfere, and when witness replied that he was the lady’s husband Wernberg called him a little cur and had threatened to “take fall out of him” and had otherwise insulted him. Witness had then called an officer who had arrested Wernberg.
THE DEFENDANT DENIES.
Andrew T. Wernberg testified that he and a young man named Howard had been to Haverly’s Theater on the night in question, and as they neared Elm place they overtook plaintiff and her lady friend. The tow young women wee laughing and talking aloud. Witness and his friend passed them, and started across the street, when Mr. Applegate rushed up and accused witness of having insulted and assaulted his (defendant’s) [sic] wife. Witness replied that Mr. Applegate was crazy and had proceeded across the street, and was a few minutes later, surprised when Mr. Applegate came up with an officer and had him arrested. He then asked the lady if she was sure that he was the person who had insulted her, and she did not reply. Mr. Applegate then made the charge, and he was taken to the station house.
He had never spoken to the ladies nor had he placed his hands on them.
Clarence C. Howard, of N. 396 Vanderbilt avenue, testified that he was with Wernberg on the night of December 11. He corroborated Weinberg’s testimony in every particular.
WERNBERG FOUND GUILTY
His Honor said there was no doubt in his mind but that Wernberg was guilty of the offense as charged. Cases of the same kind were constantly occurring on the street and must be stopped. After having read the defendant a long lecture his Honor imposed a find of $50, but gave him the alternative of going to jail for a like number of days. The fine was paid.
Mr. A. J. Wernberg will carry the case to court of record.
(Brooklyn Eagle, January 11, 1884, p. 4)
The Eagle somehow neglects to mention that William F’s father and uncle were both Brooklyn police officers.
William F was one of the executors of his father’s will (the other was his sister Ellen) in late 1891. From the probate file, it appears William did most of the work in probating the estate, including personally serving the numerous heirs at law all over Brooklyn. His handwritten affidavit of service of the citation is two pages long. (Probate File of William R Appelgate, Kings Co. (NY), December 7, 1891 [no file number]).
During the probate, William F lived at 903 DeKalb Ave. in Brooklyn, NY.
William F and his sister Ellen applied to be guardians of the minor children of their father William R. The probate file does not say whether this request was granted, but the Brooklyn Eagle reported that William F was appointed guardian of the property of his step-sister Rebecca. (Brooklyn Eagle, March 19, 1892, p. 4).
In 1897, William F Applegate was listed as a painter residing at 692 Henry in Brooklyn, NY. (1897 Lain’s Brooklyn City Directory). By 1900, he had moved to 106 President Street in Brooklyn, were he was enumerated with his family. William Appelgate was born in November 1854 in NY and a painter. His wife Kate was born in December 1854 in Ireland; she was naturalized in 1874. Daughter Florence was born in January 1888 in NY, and son Francis was born in October 1886.
In 1901, William and Francis his son were burned trying to put out a fire at 443 Court street. The news article does not specify whether this was the family home or just a building that William owned.
SOUTH BROOKLYN FIRES
William Applegate, 50 years old, and his son, Francis Applegate, 15 years old were burned on their hands and faces in trying to put out a fire that broke out yesterday morning in the Applegate apartments on the third floor of the building at 443 Court street. The fire was caused by the explosion of a kerosene lamp.
(Brooklyn Eagle, January 17, 1901, p. 5)
In 1905, William and his family were living at 180 Nelson Street, in Brooklyn. William was 51, and a painter; wife Kate was 45; son Francis was 19, and a laborer; daughter Florence was 17.
I have no further record of William F. | Appelgate, William F (I14076)

May 1867, in Kings Co., NY (1870 US Census, NY Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 7, p. 114, 703/803 [age 3, birthplace NY]; 1875 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 7, p. 55, 368/479 [age 8, birthplace Kings Co., NY]; 1892 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 7, ED 11, p. 14 [age 24]; 1900 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 7, 2/73, Sheet 1B, 5/16 [May 1867, birthplace NY, gives name “Mary E”]), d. _____. She married Patrick J Gilligan, b. abt May 1861 (1892 NY State Census, supra, [age 30]; 1900 US Census, supra, [May 1861, birthplace NY]), d. ____
Ellen (as “Nellie Gilligan”) was identified as one of the heirs at law of her mother Elizabeth Appelgate’s intestate estate. She was of full age (that is, over 21) in January of 1890 when the petition for administration was filed. (Probate File of Elizabeth Appelgate, Kings Co. (NY), January 21, 1890 [no file number])
Ellen was enumerated with her parents in 1870 and 1875. She was named one of the executors of her father William’s will. In the probate file, she is identified as Ellen Gilligan. At the time of the probate (1891) she resided at the same address as her father—164 Skillman in Brooklyn. (Probate File of William R. Appelgate, Kings Co. (NY), December 7, 1891 [no file number]). One of the witnesses to William’s will was Patrick J Gilligan, likely Ellen’s husband.
In 1892, Nellie, her husband Patrick, their children, and Nellie’s younger siblings John, Henry, and Rebecca were all giving together or next door to each other. Nellie was 24, Patrick was 30 and a hatter, Joseph Gilligan was 4, William Gilligan was 2, John Applegate was 19 and a plumber, Henry Applegate was 16 and a clerk, Rebecca was 12. (1892 NY State Census, supra).
In 1900, Nellie and her husband Patrick and their children were enumerated at 198 Franklin Ave. in Brooklyn. Nellie’s sister Rebecca, age 15, was still living with them. | Applegate, Mary Ellen "Nellie" (I14077)

5D4C7B8 BR1B8 (5D4C7A5 & 5D4C7A7) John Appelgate, b. March 1873, in Kings Co., NY (1875 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 7, p. 55, 368/479 [age 3, birthplace Kings Co., NY]; 1892 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 7, ED 11, p. 14 [age 19]), 1900 US Census, NY, Kings Co., New York, Brooklyn Bor., Ward 21, Dist. 2/320, Sheet 22A, 189/30 [March 1873, birthplace NY]; Probate File of Elizabeth Appelgate, Kings Co.

He married Agnes ___, b. abt 1874 in NY (1905 NY State Census, supra).
John was enumerated with his parents at 307 Franklin Ave., Brooklyn, NY, in the 1875 NY State Census. He was 3 years old, and the enumerator mistakenly classified him as a daughter. (1875 NY State Census, supra).
John was listed as one of the heirs at law of his mother Elizabeth. He was “about 18 years of age”. (Probate File of Elizabeth Applegate, supra).
John was mentioned in the will and probate file of his father William. He was still “an infant”, residing at 164 Skillman. He received a specific bequest of $200. (Probate File of William R. Appelgate, Kings Co. (NY), December 7, 1891 [no file number]).
In 1892, he was living with his sister Nellie and her husband Patrick Gilligan in Brooklyn, NY. He was 19 and a plumber. (1892 NY State Census, supra).
In 1900, John was living at 809 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, NY, with his brother Harry. John was born in March 1873 and worked in a rubber factory. (1900 US Census, supra).
In 1905, John, his wife Agnes, and his brother Harry resided at 97 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. John was 32, and did “rubber work”; Agnes was 32. (1905 NY State Census, supra). | Applegate, John (I14078)

Harry does not appear with his parents in the 1875 NY State Census, so his birth date of September 1874 in the 1900 US Census is suspect.
Harry was listed as one of the heirs at law of his mother Elizabeth. He was an infant about “14 years of age”. (Probate File of Elizabeth Applegate, supra).
Harry was mentioned in the will and probate file of his father William. He was still “an infant”, residing at 164 Skillman. He received a specific bequest of $300. (Probate File of William R. Appelgate, Kings Co. (NY), December 7, 1891 [no file number]).

Dist. 6, p. 17, 81/182 [age 30, birthplace Kings Co., NY], d. 6 Jun 1888 in Brooklyn (Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Jun 7, 1888, p. 5) He married Mary J. Waldron, b. abt 1827, in Kings Co., NY (1850 US Census, supra [age 26, birthplace NY]; 1875 NY State Census, supra [age 43, birthplace Kings Co., NY]. Mary J was the daughter of Hannah Waldron (b. abt 1805 in Holland (1875 NY State Census, supra)).
George S and his wife Mary were enumerated in 1850, in Brooklyn, Kings. Co., NY. George was 26, born in NY, and a butcher. Mary was 20, and born in NY. Also living in the household were George’s in-laws, Hannah (mother-in-law), Louisa (sister-in-law), and James (brother-in-law). (1850 US Census, supra).
In the 1850 Brooklyn city directory, George S is identified as working at the Franklin market at 149 Myrtle Avenue. (1850 Brooklyn City Directory, p. 22). In the 1859 Brooklyn city directory, George S Appelgate was a butcher at Myrtle Ave. near Carll, with a home address of 62 Prince. (1859 Brooklyn City Directory, p. 8). In addition, there is a George Appelgate & Co., butchers, at 175 Myrtle Ave., in Brooklyn (Id.). All these locations are within about three blocks of each other, and of Myrtle and Raymond in Brooklyn. Accordingly, I believe these are all references to George S and his family.
In 1853, George was reported to be at a meeting of the Regular Butchers of the City of Brooklyn, where a resolution was adopted condemning bad butchers and pledging to “prevent meat being sold that is not sold by ourselves.” George Applegate’s butcher shop was at the corner of Myrtle and Navy Streets in Brooklyn. (Brooklyn Eagle, April 2, 1853, p. 3).
I have not been able to locate George and his family in the 1870 Census, although I was able to find his mother-in-law Hannah Waldron and sister-in-law Louise.
George and family are in the 1875 NY State Census. George was 50, born in Kings Co., NY, and a butcher. Wife Mary was 43; daughter Mary was 23; daughter Georgia was 20; son “Evan” was 18, and a milkman; daughter Ada was 15; son Willie was 11; and son Fiddle was 9. All were born in in Kings Co., NY. Still living with George were his mother-in-law Hannah Waldron and sister-in-law, Louise Waldron. (1875 NY State Census, supra).
In 1878, George was still working as a butcher. His business was at Myrtle Ave. near Cumberland, and his home was at 163 Prince, Brooklyn, NY. (1878 Brooklyn City Directory). In 1879-80, he still resided at 163 Prince (1879-80 Lain Brooklyn City Directory).
In his death notice printed in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, his residence is given as 124 Cumberland Street. | Applegate, George S (I14089)

5E1A5 Daniel Applegaite
Daniel was born 21 May, 1780 in South Amboy, Middlesex County (Voress--died “4 Jan 1836”—ED). He married twice: 1) Elizabeth Rogers (This Elizabeth Rogers is different from the Elizabeth Rogers who married his Uncle William 5E1B 10 Nov 1772.—ED) and 2) (Brent Mount-Howard-Voress-“Jan 12, 1811”—ED) Eleanor (NJ Marriage Records for Male Applegates-Various Researchers-R Kuntz-Voress-Eliner”—ED) Haley (Gibson, p. 3.) J. Woodhull performed both rites (Monmouth County Archives.) Elizabeth was born 05 May, 1785 (Brent Mount-Howard-Voress-“1784”—ED) and died 19 April (Brent Mount-Howard-Voress-“Aug”—ED), 1807; Eleanor was born 05 February, 1789 and died 05 (Brent Mount-Howard-Voress-“8…buried at Hoffman’s Cemetery”—ED) March, 1856 (Voress).
On 15 May, 1800, Daniel of South Amboy, sold to Uncle William (5EIC) land he had inherited from his father Jacob. No mention is made of a wife in the transaction (Appendix.) Daniel was almost twenty at the time of the sale. If Voress is correct in the date of Daniel's birth he may not have been married. Then again, was he old enough to have sold the land? This requires more investigation.
By 1810, Daniel was living in Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY. on July 11, 1810, Daniel Applegate of Brooklyn purchased from Isaac and Susannah Moser a lot on Nassau street there (Kings Co. NY Conveyances 10-327). On September 25, 1818, Daniel Applegate of Brooklyn, bricklayer, purchased from John and Sarah Jackson a lot on the south side of Marshall street near Jackson. In the same deed, Daniel purchased another lot across Marshall Street from the first. (Kings Co. NY Conveyances 17-253). On November 25, 1819, Daniel Applegate of Brooklyn purchased a lot from Samuel and Rebecca Moser on Nassau Street in Brooklyn (Kings Co. NY Conveyances 12-473).
A Daniel Applegate was enumerated in the 1820 US Census in Brooklyn. The household consisted of 1 male 26-45; one male 10-16; two males under 10; 1 female 26-45; and 1 female 16-26 (1820 US Census, NY, Kings Co. p. 139).
In 1821, Daniel and his wife Ellen began selling off their Brooklyn properties. On September 21, 1821, Daniel Applegate of Brooklyn, Mason and his wife Ellen sold to Margarette Duffield the lot they have purchased on November 25, 1819 (Kings Co. NY Conveyances 13-189). On March 30, 1822, Daniel Applegate of Brooklyn and Ellen sold to Joseph Thompson, “a colored man” one of the lots Daniel had purchased on September 25, 1818.
By the end of 1822, Daniel and Elenor had moved back to New Jersey and were still selling off the Brooklyn properties. On December 28, 1822, Daniel Applegate of New Jersey and his wife Ellen sold to James Fletcher a lot at the corner of Nassau and Adams Streets in Brooklyn. I have not been able to find a record of Daniel purchasing this lot. On May 7, 1824, Daniel Applegate of Middlesex Co., New Jersey, mason and Elenor his wife sold to Theodosius Hunt the property Daniel had purchased on July 11, 1810 (Kings Co. NY Conveyances 14-369). On April 1, 1825, Daniel Applegate of New Jersey (Mason) and his wife Ellen sold to John Jackson one of the parcels purchased on September 25, 1818.
In 1830 (p. 263), "Danl" lived in South Amboy, Middlesex County. There was one male 15-20 and one 40-50; one female was <5, one 5-10, 1 20-30 and one 30-40.
(Brent Mount-Howard-Voress-“Daniel Applegate was a farmer and owned the farm that later became known as Judge Hoffman’s Place.”—ED)
Daniel's will was made 28 December, 1835 and proved 15 January, 1836 (Appendix.) Both he and his wives are buried in Hoffman's Cemetery. All of his property, both real and personal, was to be sold except for that selected by Eleanor for "her comfort and convenience." The money was to be invested and, after paying all debts, one third of the interest was to go to Eleanor. After her death, it was to be divided between his children. The remaining two thirds of the yearly interest was to go to Margaret Ann and Mary.
In an odd deed, dated 31 March, 1841, Samuel Dixon and Eleanor Applegate, executors of Daniel Applegate decd., took a mortgage from Edward Paxton, his wife and John Paxton Jr. on land formerly "occupied by Daniel Applegate, decd." The Paxtons agreed to pay $100 to Eleanor and Dixon on 01 April, 1846 and $900 on 01 April, 1857 "with interest agreeable to the conditions of a certain bond bearing even date with this indenture" (Middlesex Deeds 16:347348.)
A Surrogate Court record of the estate can be found in File 172, Middlesex County Surrogate's Court Records. | Applegate, Daniel (I15027)

5E7D2B Kinneth (Voress-“Kenneth”—ED) Appleget (Voress-“Applegate”—ED)
Kenneth was born 01 May, 1793. He served in the War of 1812 as a dragoon in Captain Cook's Middlesex County Horse of Colonel Frelinghuesen. He enlisted at Hightstown, NJ in September, 1814 and was discharged in December, 1814 (Appendix.)
There is a series of tax records for Kenneth in East Windsor, Middlesex County. I believe that to be this Kenneth. In 1817, he had 100 improved acres valued at £40 and a tax of 5s 20p (Applegate, 1992.) The acreage remained the same in 1819 and 1820 but 2 horses and 3 cattle were also taxed for a base of £40. His tax came to 5s 60p.
By 1822, Kenneth's acreage had increased to 136 acres valued at £40. The extra 36 acres apparently were not much! His tax base was £54/50 with a state, county and town tax of 6s 54p. By 1836, Kenneth "Applegait" had 140 acres, 4 horses and mules, 12 cattle a wagon and 1 dog. No values or taxes are given.
Kenneth married, on 16 January, 1821, Gertrude Wyckoff (Voress-“Wycoff”—ED). The Reverend S.C. Henry officiated at the ceremony (CJCLDS Film 0888727.) She was born 26 June, 1796 (Service Record of husband-Voress—“1797”—ED) and died 03 January, 1880 of consumption, (Voress-“in Mercer County, E. Windsor” Twp., NJ—ED) aged 84. Gertrude is buried in the Brainerd (now First Presbyterian Church, Cranbury) cemetery a church she joined on 26 April, 1838 (CJCLDS Film 0888727.) Gertrude was the daughter of Jacob and Lydia (Wyckoff) Wyckoff. On 24 December, 1822, Kenneth bought from Jacob Brown of South Amboy six acres in South Amboy for $30 (Middlesex Deeds Z:182.)
In the 1830 census (p. 276,) Kenneth and family lived in South Amboy, Middlesex County. There was one male 30?40, two females <5, two females 5?10 and one female 30?40. Voress says they had no children of their own so the youngsters are unidentified. (We know Kinneth adopted an Applegate child later. It is possible he cared for kids who needed help, or that he took in Applegate kids who needed help.—ED) (Kenneth and Gertrude “adopted” two daughters of Gertrude’s brother, Peter; both named Gertrude. See discussion at 5E7D2B2 Gertrude Appleget Wyckoff, infra. Several of these female children are likely to be their siblings. ~sta 2012-01-19)
On 06 August, 1836, Kenneth bought land from Benjamin Browne and Elizabeth his wife, for $15.76. My copy of the deed is incomplete and the acreage is missing. George Garrison and wife sold 2.85 acres to Kenneth. The price was $900 and the date was 29 March, 1839 (Middlesex Mortgages 16:7475.)
In the 1840 census (p. 28,) "Kinneth" and family still lived in South Amboy. The family had grown, however. There was one male 5-10 and one 40?50 ? plus a gaggle of females. There was one female <5, one 5?10, two 10?15, two 15?20 and one 30?40. Two were engaged in agriculture (a boy between 5 and 10 plus Kinneth?.)
On 01 May, 1845, Kenneth sold land to John J. Johnson. The land was 1.24 acres and the price was $3,000. There is no indication the land was in town; if farm land, it was indeed excellent land (Middlesex Mortgages, 17: 386.) On 09 February, 1846, Kenneth again sold land. This time to William Reese. The amount was 25 acres and the price was $600 ? somewhat less per acre the previous sale (Middlesex Mortgages, 17:342.)
By 1850 (p. 058,) the family had shrunk. They now lived in East Windsor Township, Mercer County. Kinneth was 56, a farmer and worth $25,000. Gertrude was 54; adopted daughter Gertrude was 10 and in school. (He evidently had two adopted daughters named Gertrude, as one had died in 1839. Both he and his father seemed to appreciate children being named after them and their wives.—ED)
He wrote his will 30 November, 1847 and died 07 (Voress-“9”—ED) March, 1854 aged 61 (Hightstown Gazette, 10 March 1854.) Kenneth is buried in the First Presbyterian (Brainerd) Cemetery in row 32 site 6. He is identified as the son of Disbourough. Kenneth's will was proved 21 March, 1854. He gave adopted daughter Gertrude Wicoff $4,000 and namesake Kinneth Appleget Wicoff, son of Cornelius Wicoff $3,000. Sister Rachel Allen was given $60 unless she fell sick and needed more money. in that case, she was to be given whatever was needed. The money was "to be paid to her and not subject to any other person."
Upon his wife's death, Gertrude and Kinneth were to receive an additional $1,000. Wife Gertrude was appointed administer
Gertrude filed for a pension based on Kinneth's service in the War of 1812 (93.046.) It was rejected (22 February, 1856) because she did not prove she was Kinneth's widow. She later gave affidavits to prove she was the widow. The pension application does not give the result.
(1860 Census, East Windsor, Hightstown PO, Mercer County, NJ-In this Census report Gertrude was 63, and had a real estate value of $20,000 and personal property of $25,000 [ifr that is what RE and PE stand for. There was also a “Thomas” Applegate, aged 43 living with her. He was a merchant with PE of $4,000.—ED) (This is her nephew-by-marriage Thomas 5A1C1H
Gertrude wrote her will on 13 September, 1876. It is very long and detailed. She left money to adopted daughter Gertrude and large amounts to "blood kin" i.e. nieces and nephews on her side of the family. Small amounts were left to non?blood kin (is there such a thing?) with the proviso that if they contested the will they got nothing. I don't believe I would have liked Gertrude.
After Gertrude's death, a John V.D. Beckman was given/ loaned $500 by Catherine A. Miller, Upper Freehold, Monmouth County. She assigned to Miller a mortgage dated 23 January, 1856 made by Israel Pearce and wife Mary to secure to Gertrude Applegate the payment of $500 plus interest (Mercer County Mortgage Book I/J:355.) The mortgage was transferred to the executors of Gertrude's estate on 17 June, 1880 (Mercer County Mortgage Book K:485.) Catherine then died and William V.B. Beckman, executor of her estate received $500 from Joseph J. Ely for the mortgage (Mercer County Mortgage Book L:582.) | Applegate, Kenneth (I16281)

5E7D2B1 Gertrude Applegate Appleget, born 1832; died Mar. 18, 1839. She is buried in Brainard Cemetery, in Cranbury, next to her adopted father.
Gertrude was the niece (by marriage) of Kenneth Appleget. She was the daughter of his wife’s brother, Peter Wyckoff (d. 1895) and Elizabeth Baird (b. 2 Mar. 1800; d. 14 Dec. 1895, in Hightstown, Mercer Co., NY). See the entry for her sister Gertrude 5E7D2B2, infra, for further discussion of the complicated links among these families. ~sta 2012-01-19 | Applegate, Gertrude Appleget (I16285)

APPENDIX
A Portion of the Autobiography of Gertrude Appleget Wyckoff Maxwell
Reprinted in the Hightstown-East Windsor Historical Society News, January-February, 1998
[Note: This occurred when Gertrude was about ten years old. The family had just moved and she was about to go to school for the first time]
September dawned. The new teacher came to call. I liked her curls, but was not otherwise impressed. The day before school opened my Mama's brother from the mill stopped and said "All was ready for my start to school" After he was gone I asked, "Why does that man from the mill want me to go to school?" My Mama replied, "That man is your father and he knows what is good for little girls." I thought she was joking and could not understand until she made me keep quiet and listen and then she told me what everybody knew and what I would have known if I had not been so entirely absorbed in myself and my surroundings.
I was the youngest of nine children. My paternal and maternal grandfathers had died before I was born and the dear man whose memory was so precious to me was my grandfather only in name and the "bolt from the blue" knocked me over. I did not want two Papas nor two Mamas and I did not want to live at the mill; it was noisy and crowded. etc., etc. My Papa who had been absent comforted me and said I was his little girl and nobody should take me away from him. I must he good and nice to my mother and father, that was all, and in reality there was no difference. The family at the mill were in another county. They went to the store and post office in Sweet Auburn [Cranbury] and we sat on different sides of the Church and we seldom saw them there. My brothers and sister were grown. One brother was married, others were in business or school. They cared little more for me than I for them.
I was very undeveloped and undisciplined and very selfish and younger than my years and it took many repetitions of the story to convince me of its truthfulness and it was not until I was grown that I really understood after hearing the explanations from both mothers.
My Mama Aunt was my real father's youngest and favorite sister. She married and settled near her old home at John's town [Hightstown]. After fifteen years she borrowed a little girl from this brother and did not return her, but she only lived three years with her aunt and died from scarlet fever. The grief of the uncle and aunt was great and they said to the mother, "You must find us another little girl." The mother replied "her family was finished but if it was not she could make no plans to barter her flesh and blood".
But the stork who loved to hover over roofs and chimneys sent a message through the air that a little girl would be found. All the neighbors and friends knew of this and awaited developments.
On the appointed day the old Doctor hurried by the old house by the side of the road and called out he was "going to the mill for the little girl". Jeff [a long time family slave and then servant] got the gig ready but when the Doctor returned, he gave rein to his horse and shouted, "It's a boy."
The news was a heavy disappointment but the uncle and aunt got in the gig and went to the mill, where they found the Doctor had been joking. Whether the excitement of the "Divinity that shapes our ends" was responsible I do not know, but my mother was taken so ill her life was despaired of and I was bundled up and taken to the old farm house in John's town [Hightstown]. A messenger was sent post haste to Philadelphia to get the baby bottle of that day for milk as the older of the two colored women had been married and a mother, I was put in her willing arms and lay in her capacious bosom many times when I was restless in the big hooded family cradle that had been so long unused.
My black Mammy never failed in her devotion to me, and I am thankful I had the privilege of ministering to her on her death bed and clothing her in a white robe for her burial, in her old age.
(We have a bit of a problem at this point. In the following reference [1870 Census, East Windsor Township, Hightstown PO, Mercer County, NJ], we have Kinneth’s wife Gertrude, who is still alive at the age of 73 living with a “Thomas” Applegate; “54; mercht dry goods; PE $6000”. [The two of them might be living well since Gertrude is listed with “RE $10000; PE 19000” which is big time money in those days.] The manner in which Thomas is shown in the Census would seem to indicate he was her son. However he was born about five years before she was married. That does not make it impossible, but we never had a prior indication of his existence. There is the possibility he was adopted, since she and her husband had no children of their own, but did adopt two girls. But again we must point out he was never mentioned before when the two of them were. We need her obituary to see in what manner he is mentioned as being her survivor.—ED)
And with the discovery of Gertrude’s autobiography, we know a little more about this Thomas:
Papa had arranged before his death with a neighbor cousin to look after the farm and act as adviser in need. He had also been concerned for our protection at night. Among the old families it was "comme il faut" to live alone, with "the help.” The distinction between "House and Kitchen" was kept up long after slavery days. Our colored people were the same, and loyal and true, but Papa had a remote relative, one of a large family who had one by one married and settled around their neighborhood. This one had not married, had drifted into store keeping, changed about and the year before Papa's death found himself in John's town [Hightstown] in a store, so it was arranged that he would receive bed and board, and in return he would protect us at night from marauders. He was punctual at meals and never absent at night and the arrangement worked out very well and lasted the twenty-six years of Mama's remaining life. He was genial and had a good memory for jokes and stories, was a great friend of old and young ladies, children and babies. He was very much like his namesake in the "Great DeWilloughby Claim." He had not had the advantage of an early education and was very fond of telling he had never "gone to school but one night and then the candle went out." He was Uncle Tom to everybody in town and as he was twenty years younger than Mama and twenty-four years older than I, the same "everybody" approved the arrangement and said, that one of us would find a son and the other a father thereby.
“Gertrude Appleget Wyckoff,” Hightstown-East Windsor Historical Society Newsletter, Nov-Dec. 1998
Based on his age, his unmarried status, his coming from a “large family” and his description as a cousin, I believe this Thomas is Thomas 5A1C1H ~sta 2012-01-19 | Wyckoff, Gertrude Appleget (I30832)

5E8E1 Matthew Rue Applegate
Matthew was born c. 1777 (Voress.) MEA says "not earlier than 1775 and possibly ten years later." Our first firm date is when he inherited the "homestead" of his grandfather upon the death of his father (c. 1833.)
Voress says he was listed in the 1778?80 tax returns of South Amboy with 95 acres; in 1791, he was listed in South Amboy/New Brunswick with 40 acres; in 1793, he was listed as "Nathnl, aged 38. From September, 1791 until 1822, he was listed in New Brunswick, South Ward or South Brunswick with 50 acres. I have been unable to verify these data.
MEA believes Matthew married Catherine Sutfin (Cecily—“Sutphin”—ED) Davison on 27 February, 1817 by Rev. George S. Woodhill. She goes on to speculate that Catherine (Cecily—was born “ca. 1780”—ED) was the daughter of Daniel Davison, an executor of both Matthew's father (Nathaniel) and mother (Jane) wills.
Matthew's death was c. 1838, (Howard—prior to Mar 1839—ED). Prior to it, he may have moved to New York City. (He is listed in NY census, NY CO, 9th ward, NYC, 1820.—ED) In addition, in his brother Elijah’s will of 1835, he is identified as a resident of New York City. His brother also calls him a “builder”. (Will of Elijah Applegate New York (NY) Will Book 74-464 (old 456)). He may have been in business with his brother and Aaron Hendicks as a developer, but I cannot find any NY deeds showing he bought and sold peoperty with them. | Applegate, Matthew Rue (I16894)

5E8E3 Elijah Applegate
Information in this paragraph comes from Voress. Elijah was born on some unknown date (Voress & Cecily—“born June 29, 1781”—ED) and married Margaret (Voress & Cecily—“Mary Ann”—ED) Buckolew (Voress & Cecily—“Burkalew”—ED) on some unknown data. His will is dated 17 September, 1835 and proved 27 February, 1836 in New York City. Executors were his wife, brother Matthew Rue and Aaron Hendricks. I believe Voress is in error on several points. A transcription of his will is attached.
Elijah appears to have been in business as a real estate developer/investor with Aaron V. Hendricks as early as 1827. I have copies of the deeds, which are too lenghty to transcibe. The transactions are as follows:
1 Febuary 1827
Elijah Applegate and Aaron V Hendricks (masons of New York City) purchased from Ida R and Caroline Topping of New York for $1,450.00
That certain lot piece of parel of Ground situate lying and being in the Seventh [blank, probably ward] of the City of New York on the Northerly side of Henry Street Bounded Southerly in front by Henry Street on the Easterly side by property belonging to Robert Tillotson on the Westerly side by property belonging to the said Ira Toping and in the rear by property of David Seaman, the said lot being in width in frong and rear ech twenty firv feet and in length each side about one hundre feet be the same more or less. And is part of two lots conveyed to the said Ira Topping by Patrick Sullivan by Deed bearing date the 19th day of September AD 1826 . . . with the privilege of using the easterly Wall of the House adjoing said premises belonging to the [Toppings] for the purpose of letting in the beams of any House they the [purchasers]. . . may build or erect on the above described lot.
1 May 1828
Elijah Applegate (of the City of New York, Mason) purchased at public auction from the estate of Mary Bowers for $2,100.00
43 Essex Street between Hester and Grand.
6 Jan 1833
Elijah Applegate and Aaron V Applegate purchased from Edward N Bibby, physician and Augusta his wife for $5,100.00:
Three lots on Orchard Street near Broome.
7 Feb 1833
Elijah Applegate and Aaron V Hendricks (masons of New York City) purchased from Henry Frost (gentleman of New York City) for $1,550.00
Southeasterly in front by Orchard Street, Northeasterly by lots Number 57, 56, 55 and part of lot 54. Northwesterly by lot 58, and southwesterly by lot 58. Containing in breadth in front and rear twenty five feet and in length on each side eighty feet.
19 Feburay 1835
Elijah Applegate (of New York, builder) buys from Aaron V Hendricks (same) and his wife Eliza for $12,000.00
Aaron Hendrick’s interest in the Orchard Street lots they purchased together in 1833.
17 March 1835
Aaron V. Henricks, builder and Eliza his wife; Elijah Applegate builder and Margaret his wife, sold to Walter Peck, merchant, for $8,250.00
The property Aaron and Elijah had purchased together in 1827. The only difference in the property description is that it ends with “Together with the Building erected on said premises”.
24 September 1835
Aaron Hendricks (of the City of New York, Builder) purchases from Elijah Applegate (same) for $3,250.00:
The Orchard Street property.
I believe the Orchard Street property is now 74 Orchard Street in New York City.
Green (1985) wrote a book on the Buckelew Family. In it, on page 34, is the following:
Gravestones ? Old Van Liew (New Brunswick) Elijah d 4 (Voress & Cecily—“3”—ED) Feb 1836, age 55:7:6; Mary Ann wife of Elijah daughter of David and Mary Ann Buckelew, died 15 Nov. 1851, age 27; Margaret Ann, daughter of Elijah died 7 March 1833, age 2 years
I believe that Elijah is this Elijah. | Applegate, Elijah (I16938)

5F4C1C William Henry Applegate, born 1815 (David E-“1816”—ED) (DEPARTMENT FOR HUMAN RESOURCES REGISTRAR OF VITAL STATISTICS-Voress-in “Georgetown, Ky”—ED); died Feb. 17, 1883 in Louisville, Ky. He married on Oct. 27, 1835 in Georgetown, Ky. to Catherine Matilda Clark, born Feb. 14, 1818 (DEPARTMENT FOR HUMAN RESOURCES REGISTRAR OF VITAL STATISTICS-Voress-in “Georgetown , Ky”—ED); died Aug. 14, 1900, daughter of the Honorable Cary Ludlow Clarke (deceased at the time of the marriage), who had settled in Scott Co., Ky. in 1792. (for his interesting history, see J. Stoddard Johnston, ed. Memorial History of Louisville. Chicago, 1896 p.586). About 1861, William Applegate, a southern sympathizer, moved his family to Canton, Miss., where he was appointed to a military position in the Commissary Dept. of the Confederate States. When Vicksburg fell, they moved to Eutah, Ala. where they remained until the end of the war. After the war, they returned to Georgetown, Ky. where they found the family property scattered and their property in possession of others and their fortune wrecked. William removed his family to Louisville in 1868 and established a wholesale whiskey business, called Applegate and Sons, which he ran with his sons until his death.
In 1850, William and his family were enumerated in Scott County, KY in a household headed by Eliza Clarke--probably William's mother-in-law. William was 32, born in KY and had no profession; Catherine was 28 and born in KY; Mary was 11 and born in KY; Catherine (2) was 8 and born in AR; and James was 2 and born in KY. The head of the household was Eliza Clarke, age 73 and born in KY. Also residing in the household were another Eliza Clark, age 35 and born in KY; and Harriet Clarke, age 30 and born in KY. (1850 US Census, KY, Scott Co., Dist. 1, 83/83).
In 1870, William and his family (and several other people) were enumerated in Louisville, KY. William was 52, born in KY and still had no profession--he was "at home". Kate (Catherine) was 48 and born in KY; Ed (William Edward/Edwin) was 20, born in KY, and a drug clerk; Carey (male) was 16, born in KY. Several other families who appear to be employees resided in the home. (1870 US Census, KY, Jefferson Co., Louisville, p. 105, 578/802).
Based on these and other sources, I identify several children and their birth order, resulting in some renumbering of descendants: Mattie b. abt. 1836 (5F4C1C1) Mary b. abt 1839 (5F4C1C2); Catherine b. abt. 1842 (5F4C1C3); James b. abt 1847 (5F4C1C4); William Edward/Edwin b. abt. 1850 (5F4C1C5); Carey b. abt. 1854 (5F4C1C6) | Applegate, William Henry (I25234)
