XB1 Henry Applegate, born 1792 in NJ; died . He married Julia (1850 PA Census says “Julian”.—ED), born 1793; died . They were separated in 1850, but both living in Lancaster, PA. [There is a Henry Applegate, age 58, birthplace NJ, occupation laborer enumerated in Martic Twp., Lancaster, PA in 1850, living alone. (1850 US Census, PA, Lancaster Co., Martic Twp., 147/451). There is a Julian Applegate (female), age 57, no birthplace given, in Caernarvon Twp., Lancaster Co., PA, in 1850. Also living in the household is William, age 22, a stone mason; Elizabeth, age 19; and John, age 7. No birthplaces are given for any of these people. It makes sense to conclude William and John are the children of Julian, but John—who would have been born when Julian was about 50, is problematic.

[To make things more interesting, there is no “Henry Applegate” enumerated in Lanaster Co., PA, in 1820, 1830, or 1830. There is a “William Applegate” household enumerated in each of those censuses in Lancaster County and that is the only Applegate household enmerated in that county in those years. Tiffany (TANARI@prodigy.net) produced a transcript of these census sheets. I have reviewed the original microfilms and believe this is accurate:

Is the “Henry” in the 1850 Census the same person as the “William” in the 1820, 1830, and 1840 Censuses? The age of the head of household (whether Henry or William) seems inconsistent. If Henry is William, then he was abt 28 in 1820; abt 38 in 1830; and abt 48 in 1840. This is based on a reported age of 58 in the 1850 Census for Henry. But this is consistent only with the 1820 Census for William. In 1830, William is 40-50, not 38; and in 1840, William is 50-60, not 48.
In addition to the inconsistency of age between William and Henry, there is a problem about the location of Henry in 1850. Caernarvon and Earl townships—where Julian was enumerated in 1850, and William was enumerated in 1820-40 are located in the northeast corner of Lancaster County. Martic Township, where Henry was enumerated in 1850, is located on the other side of the county in the southwest corner.
Finally, it seems odd that Henry and Julian, if they were a married couple, would be enumerated in separate households in 1850.
Based on this reasoning, I believe “Henry” is not the head of this branch. I believe “William” is the head. Based on the inconsistencies noted above, I reject the idea that William and Henry are a single person named either “William Henry” or “Henry William”. Henry Applegate is some other person, who arrived in Lancaster Co., PA, sometime between 1840 and 1850 from NJ. William, the head of this branch, was born btw 1780 and 1790 and died btw 1840 and 1850. | Applegate, Henry (I122)

Is the “Henry” in the 1850 Census the same person as the “William” in the 1820, 1830, and 1840 Censuses? The age of the head of household (whether Henry or William) seems inconsistent. If Henry is William, then he was abt 28 in 1820; abt 38 in 1830; and abt 48 in 1840. This is based on a reported age of 58 in the 1850 Census for Henry. But this is consistent only with the 1820 Census for William. In 1830, William is 40-50, not 38; and in 1840, William is 50-60, not 48.
In addition to the inconsistency of age between William and Henry, there is a problem about the location of Henry in 1850. Caernarvon and Earl townships—where Julian was enumerated in 1850, and William was enumerated in 1820-40 are located in the northeast corner of Lancaster County. Martic Township, where Henry was enumerated in 1850, is located on the other side of the county in the southwest corner.
In addition, there are marginally reliable records of the burial of Juliann and William that show they were married. Findagrave indicates that Juliann Applegate was buried at the Churchtown United Methodist Cemetery in Churchtown, Lancaster Co., PA. The inscription on her stone is Nov 13, 1851, wife of Wm, 60th yr (Findagrave Memorial # 42449988). In the same cemetery, as reported on Findagrave, there is a stone for William Applegit. His death date is reported as 21 Oct 1852, age 62 yrs. (Findagrave Memorial # 42449987). Unfortunately, there are not photographs of the stones on the site as of this time (2012-08-11).
Finally, note that William consistently uses the name “William” in 1820, 1830, and 1840. He never uses the name “Henry”.
The unanswered question is “where was William in 1850?” There are only three William Applegates in the 1850 Census born between 1788 and 1792. First is William Applegate, b. 1792 in PA, living in Springfield, Franklin Co., IN. But he is well documented as William 5F5A1. The second is William Applegit, b. 1792 in NJ, living in Cumberland Co., NJ. He is not currently in TAN, but other sources show him to be the husband of Hannah White. See Biographical, Genealogical and Descriptive History of the First Congressional District of New Jersey, Volume 1, Lewis Publishing Co., 1900, p. 350. The third is William Applegate, b. abt 1792 in NY, residing in Lower St. Clair Twp., Allegheny Co., PA. But he is well documented as William 5A4A9B.
Finally, there is a William Applegate with no birth date given in Moyamensing, Philadelphia, PA. His entry is incomplete because he was in prison when enumerated. However, based on the lack of any other candidates, his consistent use of the name William, and his unexplained absence from his family in 1850, I believe this William is the head of this branch. Moyamensing prison was both a criminal and a debtor’s prison, so he could very well have been imprisoned there for debt incurred to Philadelphia creditors.
In conclusion, I believe “Henry” is not the head of this branch. I believe “William” is the head. Based on the inconsistencies noted above, I reject the idea that William and Henry are a single person named either “William Henry” or “Henry William”. Henry Applegate is some other person, who arrived in Lancaster Co., PA, sometime between 1840 and 1850 from NJ. Based on the stones recorded at Findagrave, William was born around 1790 and died on 21 Oct 1852. I also believe that William, the head of this branch was enumerated as William Applegate, albeit separated from his family while he was in prison. | Applegate, William (I41344)

XMSB-1 Samuel Applegate, b. abt 1812 in KY (1860 US Census, LA, Orleans Par., New Orleans, 1st Ward, 1567/1922 [age 46, birthplace KY]); 1870 US Census, MS, Carrol Co., Twp. 38, Range 5 W, p. 8, 51/51 [age 58, birthplace KY]; 1880 US Census, MS, Carrol Co., Vaiden Voting Prec., [blank]/[blank], 219/242 [age 68, birthplace KY]), d. ______ (but after 1883). 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. (MS) Will Book 1:34 [will admitted to probate 3 March 1883]).
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. | Applegate, Samuel (I35848)

XMSC-1 George S Applegate, b. abt 1812 in PA or NJ (1850 US Census, MS, Carroll Co., The Southern Div., 504/554 [age 48, birthplace PA]; 1860 US Census, MS, Carroll Co., 5th Police Dist., p. 15, 103/97 [age illegible, birthplace NY/NJ]; 1870 US Census, MS, Carroll Co., Township 19, Range 3 E, p. 31,204/204 [age 58, birthplace PA]; 1880 US Census, MS, Montgomery Co., Winona, 1/145, p. 14B, [blank]/127 [age 67, birthplace NJ]), d. 8 Oct 1887 in Winona, Montgomery Co., MS (Findagrave Memorial # 21295074), bur. Oakwood Cemetery, Winona, Montgomery Co., MS (Id.). He married on 1 April 1840 in Carroll Co., MS Mary Jane Mann, b. abt 1822 in VA (1850 US Census, supra [age 28, birthplace VA]; 1860 US Census, supra [age illegible, birthplace VA]; 1870 US Census, supra [age 48, birthplace VA]; 1880 US Census, supra [age 57, birthplace VA]), d. 21 Jul 1891 (Findagrave Memorial # 21295073), bur. Oakwood Cemetery, Winona, Montgomery Co., MS (Id.).
In 1841, George S Applegate appears on the property tax roll for Carroll Co., MS. He owned a small parcel of five acres and was also taxed on one poll—that is a free white male over 21 in the household. 1841 Property tax list, Carroll Co. (MS), Mississippi State Archives, Box 2490, img. 3.
The next property tax roll I can find is for personal property in 1847. George S Applegate was taxed on one watch worth $15 and one poll. 1847 Property tax list, Carroll Co. (MS), Mississippi State Archives, Box 2490, img 5. This list also contains a Richard Applegate, taxed on one poll, who I have not been able to identify.
In 1850, George was enumerated in the census in Carroll Co. As he consistently did throughout his life, he gave his name as George S Applegate. He was 48, a carpenter, born in PA, with real property worth $1500. Also living the household were Mary J, age 28, born in VA; Calhoun, age 6, born in MS; Georgiana, age 4, born in MS; George, age 7 months, born in MS; Mary J Herlop [very difficult to read], age 19, born in TN [again, very difficult to read]; and Hannah Black, black, age 80, born in Africa, a blind deranged pauper. 1850 US Census, supra.
On 15 October 1855, land patents were issued to George [L or S] Applegate, William A Mann, and William Z Clark for land in Carroll Co., MS. Between the two patents, the land purchased contained about 243 acres. (Land Patents MS-1830-212 & MS-1830-213).
Also in 1855, George appears on the personal property tax list for Carroll County. He continues to own his clock and has added some gold and silver. 1855 Property tax list, Carroll Co. (MS), Mississippi State Archives, Box 3608, img. 2.
On the same tax list in 1855, there is an entry for Applegate & Mann owning six slaves. Id. I believe this is a business partnership between George and William Mann, probably his father in law, but possibly either George’s wife or brother in law.
George and Applegate & Mann appear on the personal property tax list for 1857. George still owned a clock and was taxed on that and one poll. Applegate & Mann owned two slaves. 1857 Property tax list, Carroll Co. (MS), Mississippi State Archives, Box 3615, img 148.
In 1858, George owned a pleasure carriage, a clock, five slaves, and one poll. Applegate & Mann owned thee slaves. 1858 Property tax list, Carroll Co. (MS), Mississippi State Archives, Box 9845, img 3.
In 1859, George owned one pleasure carriage and paid tax on that and one poll. Applegate & Mann does not appear on the list. 1859 Property tax list, Carroll Co. (MS), Mississippi State Archives, Box 3613, img 3.
George and his family were enumerated in the 1860 US Census in Carroll County. The microfilm of the page is partially faded and out of focus. George’s age is illegible, his birthplace is either NY or NJ, and he was a mechanic. Also in the household were Mary, age illegible, birthplace VA; Calhoun, age illegible [with no occupation listed, he should be younger than 15], birthplace MS; Georgiana, age 12, birthplace MS; Mary Ann, age 12, birthplace MS; William, age 11, birthplace MS; Emeline, age illegible, birthplace MS; Williamsona [female], age 5, birthplace MS; John, age 3, birthplace MS; and Margaret, age 1, birthplace MS. George does not seem to have owned any real estate. 1860 US Census, supra.
I cannot locate George on any of the extent property tax lists throughout the 1860s. In spite of this, he and his household were enumerated in the 1870 US Census in Carroll County. George was 58, born in PA, a house carpenter, and had $6,000 worth of real estate; Mary was 48, born in VA; Calhoun was 28, born in MS, and a house carpenter; Willimsona [or Milleneux] was 15, born in MS; John was 14, born in MS; Cordela was 12, born in MS; Addie was 10, born in MS; Elisabeth was 8 and born in MS; and Leanna was 5, born in MS. 1870 US Census, supra.
Montgomery County, Mississippi, was created in 1871 from land in Carroll and Choctaw Counties. It appears the area where George and his family lived was in the portion of Carroll County that became Montgomery County.
In 1880, George and his family were enumerated in Winona, Montgomery County, Mississippi. G.S. was 67, born in NY or NJ, and a carpenter; M.J. was 57, born in VA; Delia was 21, born in MS; Addie was 19, born in MS; Lennie was 15, born in MS.
According to his stone, George died on 8 October 1887. He is buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Winona, Montgomery County, Mississippi. (Findagrave Memorial # 21295074). After his death, hiw widow Mary Jane married J.J. Thompson. She died on 21 July 1891, and is buried as “Mary J Applegate, wife of J.J. Thompson” in Oakwood Cemetery, Winona.

XN William Ezekiel Applegate; b. abt. 1781, d. 31 May 1849 or 1 June 1850 at Southampton, Burlington Co., NJ. He married 13 October 1808 in Burlington Co., NJ, Phebe Clinton, b. abt 1871, d. 7 June 1863 in Southampton, Burlington Co., NJ.
Discussion
The identification of this Ezekiel rests on his widow’s application for bounty land based on his service in the undeclared war with France at the end of the 18th Century.
There is a stray piece of paper in the War of 1812 bounty land application of Irene, widow of Derrick Applegate 5F2B5 that refers to Ezekiel. It appears to be some sort of file divider:
Applegate, Ezekiel BLReg 30796-50
Phebe
Not War with 1812
War with France
1799-1807
I have no idea why this document is in Derrick’s file.
Bounty land claim number 30796 is the bounty land claim of Phebe (Clinton) Applegate. In the application, dated 25 January 1851, Phebe Applegate states that she is 80 years old and that she married Ezekiel Applegate in Burlington Co., NJ, in 1808. Her maiden name was Phebe Clinton. She states that Ezekiel enlisted in the Light Horse and Infantry commanded by Col. Hanlein (another witness in the application, Allen Joyce, gives his name as “Hanley”) in 1799 at Buns Tavern, Monmouth Co., NJ. She further states that Ezekiel was discharged in 1807 at “Washington City”--probably Washington D.C. Finally, she states that Ezekiel died on 31 May 18 1849 at Southampton, Burlington Co., NJ.
Notes in the file indicate that the muster rolls for this unit were destroyed by fire in 1814.
There is a reference to a marriage of Phebe Clinton in H. Stanley Craig, “Burlington County Marriages” (undated, reprinted 1977 by the Gloucester County Historical Society), p. 11. The date of the marriage is 13 October 1808. However, Craig states that the name of the groom is William Applegate, not Ezekiel. I was able to obtain a copy of the relevant page of the Burlington County Marriage Book (Marriage Book B, p. 95), and it clearly states the groom’s name is William Applegate and the bride’s name is Phebe Clinton. The Justice of the Peace who performed the wedding (Joseph Budd) identified in the Marriage Book is the same as the one Phebe claimed performed her wedding in her bounty land application.
There is a William Applegate who appears on the Death Schedule for the 1850 Census for Southampton, Burlington Co., NJ. He as listed as 68, married,, born in NJ, and died in June. His occupation was “Laborer” and his cause of death was “Debility”. There is a matching death record for a William Applegate in the New Jersey-EASY database. ("New Jersey Deaths and Burials, 1720-1988," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FZC9-NPD : accessed 8 April 2012), William Applegate (1849)). This gives his death date as 1 June 1849, death place as Burlington Co., NJ, occupation as “Laborer”, and married. His age at death on the 1850 Death Schedule gives us an approximate birth date of 1781
While the first name of the husbands differ, it seems clear that Phebe is referring to the same person in her bounty land application. I do not know why Phebe called her husband “Ezekiel” in her bounty land application, when he seems to have used the name William in all other circumstances.
I suspect I have located Phebe in the 1850 US Census in Burlington County. There is a household headed by a Phebe Applegate enumerated in Southampton Township. In the household are Phebe Applegate age 6x (the second digit is illegible and could be a ‘5’ or a ‘9’), born in NJ; William Applegate, age 22; Phebe Applegate, age 17; Lorenzo Applegate, age 35; Samuel Applegate, age 24; and Henry Applegate, age 14. (1850 US Census, NJ, Burlington Co., Southampton Twp., 436/445). Based on her stated age, her birth year was either 1795 or 1791 Given the tendency to inflate the ages of widows in pension and bounty applications, this could be Phebe the widow of William/Ezekiel.
Phebe seems to have remained in Southampton. I believe I found her in the 1860 Census, still living there as head of household. “Phoebe” was 70, and born in NJ. Also in the household were Elizabeth Applegate, age 35, born in NJ; and William Applegate, age 28, born in NJ. (1860 US Census, NJ, Burlington Co., Southampton Twp., p. 60, 37/424)
I believe this Phebe was the Phebe Applegate who died on 7 June 1863 in Southampton, Burlington Co., NJ, at age 72. She had been born in Monmouth Co., NJ. This gives a calculated birth year of 1791 for her. ("New Jersey Deaths and Burials, 1720-1988," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FZD9-FL5 : accessed 8 April 2012), Phebe Applegate (1791)). | Appelgate, William Ezekiel (I40128)

XN John T. Applegate, b. abt. 1790 in KY [1880 US Census, TX, Panola Co., Beat 7, 1/66, p. 5A, 31/31 (entry for daughter Caroline gives her father’s birthplace as KY] d. abt. 1843, when his wife Mary replaces him in the property tax rolls. He married Mary ______, b. abt. 1789 in TN (1850 Census Shelby Co., TX-K Terry-“c1789” in “TN”—ED); died abt. 1853 in TX, when she ceases appearing on county property tax rolls.
Unsourced information states they lived in New Orleans prior to moving to Texas. This is consistent with the census entries for their children, which generally state they were born in Louisiana.
The first appearance of John in documentation is a certificate of good character filed in San Augustine, Texas in 1835. These certificates were required by the Mexican government for immigrants to Texas (which was Mexican territory at the time). John's certificate states that he has a wife and two children and that he had arrived in Texas in 1829. [Gifford White, Character Certificates in the General Land Office of Texas, p. 4 (1985)].
John T. Applegate is listed on the roster of Captain Bradley's Company on 11 November 1835. This company was raised in the area of San Augustine and Tenaha and participated in the Battle of San Antonio during the Texas War of Independence. Given the name of the soldier and the area where the company was raised, these is little doubt this is the same John Applegate. [Transcription available from The Portal to Texas History at the University of North Texas, http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth216936/m1/1/?q=applegate].
On February 29, 1836, John Applegate filed a claim with the Republic of Texas for money lent for the outfit of Captain Bradley's Company, which was approved the same day. The claim document is very difficult to read, but it appears John lent the company $180.00. [See generally https://www.tsl.state.tx.us/apps/arc/repclaims/].
In 1838, John Applegate was taxed in Shelby County, TX, on one negro, a horse, 55 head of cattle, and $100 miscellaneous property. He was also assessed one poll-males over 16 or 18. [1838 Shelby Co. (TX) Property Tax Roll, img 14]. In 1839, he was taxed on one negro, one horse, and one poll. [1839 Shelby Co. (TX) Property Tax Roll, img. 44]. This is his last appearance on the tax rolls. Mary begins appearing in 1843, where she is listed as "Agent Mary Applegate", indicating she was probably the executor of his estate.
Mary, the widow of John continues to appear in various records. In 1843, she was taxed in Shelby Co., TX as “Agent Mary Applegate”. [1843 Shelby Co. (TX) Property Tax Roll, img 7]. In 1844, she was taxed on one negro over ten years old. I cannot find her in any more tax rolls for the 1840s.
Mary Applegate was enumerated in Shelby County, TX in the 1850 Census. She was 61, born in Tennesee and illiterate. Also living in the household is James C Applegate, age 21, a farmer, born in Louisiana with $250 worth of real property [1850 US Census, TX, Shelby Co., 277/277). Mary also appears on the slave schedule for the 1850 Census in the same place. She owned three slaves, all mulatto, aged 21, 5, and 5 months. [1850 US Census Slave Schedule 2, TX, Shelby Co.].
M. Applegate--probably this Mary--reappears on the property tax rolls for Shelby County, TX, in 1850. She owned 100 acres of land and two negroes. [1850 Shelby Co. (TX) Property Tax Roll, img. 3]. She was listed next to J.C. Applegate, who had no taxable property. [Id.] The situation of M. and J.C. was essentially repeated in 1851. [1851 Shelby Co. (TX) Property Tax Roll, img. 2]. She is not listed on the 1852 property tax roll in Shelby Co., although J.C. is (with no taxable property). [1852 Shelby Co. (TX) Property Tax Roll, img. 2).
In 1854, Mary Applegate appears on the property tax rolls of Panola County, TX--a county bordering Shelby County. Again, she appears with J.C. Applegate, but the entry lists J.C. “for” Mary. This probably indicates she had died and J.C. was being assessed property taxes on her estate. In any event, Mary owned no real property, but was taxed on four negroes. [1854 Panola Co. (TX) Property Tax Roll, Img. 3]. This is the last appearance of Mary on the property tax rolls. | Applegate, John T (I42964)

XN2 James C. Applegate, born 1829 in LA, died 7 Jan 1863 in Houston TX of Rubella . (1850 Census Shelby Co., TX-K Terry-In “1850” he was living with his mother in “Shelby Co., TX.” And they were living next to “James Harvey and Caroline Applegate Thomas”.—ED) He married 15 (Marriages/Panola County TX-K Terry-“16”—ED) Mar 1857 (Marriages/Panola Co., TX-K Terry-“1853”—ED) in Panola TX, Mary Wilkinson (Marriages/Panola Co., TX-K Terry-“Wilkerson”—ED).
A James Applegate, age 27, born in TX, was enumerated in the 1860 US Census in Panola Co., TX. Also residing in the household were Mary, age 23, born in TX, and illiterate; John, age 5, born in TX; Matilda, age 3, born in TX; and James, age 1, born in TX. [1860 US Census, TX, Panola Co., p. 129, 867/867]. In spite of the discrepancy in ages and birthplaces between 1850 and 1860 census enumerations, it seems likely this is the same James, based on Shelby and Panola County, TX, property tax records.
As discussed above in the entry for his father, J.C. Applegate appears in several property tax rolls in Shelby and Panola Counties in Texas until the apparent death of Mary in about 1854. J.C. continues to appear on Panola County tax rolls after that. In 1855, he was taxed on 4 negroes, 1 horse, and 18 cattle. [1855 Panola Co. (TX) Tax Roll, img 3]. In 1856, he was taxed on 5 negroes, 1 horse, 11 cattle and $70 in miscellaneous property. [1856 Panola Co. (TX) Tax Roll, img. 2]. In 1857, he was taxed on 50 acres, 5 negroes, and 1 horse. [1857 Panola Co. (TX) Tax Roll, img. 3]. The 1858 Panola County tax roll exists only in fragments and I have not located him there. In 1859, J.C. was taxed on 50 acres of land, 5 negroes, 1 horse, and 20 cattle, as well as $75 in miscellaneous property. [1859 Panola Co. (TX) Tax Roll, img. 4]. In 1860, he was taxed on 50 acres of land, 5 negroes, 1 horse, and 12 cattle. [1860 Panola Co. (TX) Tax Roll, img. 5].
He enlisted in the Confederate Army 8 Jul 1862, serving in Company D of the 1st Texas Heavy Artillery. (Voress-“He was listed as absent in the hospital in Houston, during Nov.-Dec. 1862.—ED)
On December 30, 1867, F and Mary “Battie” were granted letters of guardianship for John, Matilda and James Applegate, minors. [Panola Co. (TX) Probate Minute Orders, D-1 448]. These children have the same names as those appearing in the household of James in the 1860 US Census, and are presumably his now orphaned children. Mary Battie may be their mother with a new married name. On March 29, 1869, Mary “Beatty” received permission from the probate court to sell land in which her wards had an interest. James and John Applegate are both named as wards in the order; Matilda is not. One of the parcels to be sold was identified in part as land acquired by J.C. Applegate from David Wilkerson. [Panola Co. (TX) Probate Minute Orders, D-1 525-26]. | Applegate, James Chadrack "Rack" (I17989)

XY1A Lorenzo D Applegate, b. abt 1825 in NJ, d. abt 1867 (Burlington Co. (NJ) Miscellaneous Old Probate Records, File A-5, image 915 (Petition for Guardianship) [identifies Lorenzo as “recently deceased on 17 Dec 1867] in Burlington Co., NJ. (Id.).
Lorenzo was enumerated in the 1850 US Census in the household of his mother Phebe. He was 35, born in NJ and a laborer. I believe his age may be off by ten years and was actually about 25.
I found a marriage between Lorenzo D. Applegate and Jane Boyd in the New_Jersey-ODM database. ("New Jersey, Marriages, 1678-1985," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FZR8-VFM : accessed 8 April 2012), Lorenzo D. Applegate (1854)). They were married on 18 Mar 1854 in Southampton Twp., Burlington Co., NJ.
I found Lorenzo D Applegate’s household in the 1860 Census for Southampton Twp., Burlington Co., NJ. In the household were Lorenzo D. Applegate, age 36, born NJ, and a laborer; Mary J. Applegate, age 26, born NJ; Anna E. Applegate, age 41, born NJ; William H. Applegate, age 1/2, born NJ; and James Boyd, age 53, born NJ. I believe Mary J. is Mary Jane and the same Jane Boyd who married Lorenzo in 1854. (1860 US Census, NJ, Burlington Co., Southampton Twp., p. 44, 310/317). James Boyd is probably Mary Jane's father, or, less likely, an older brother.
Living next door is the household of Allen V. Joyce, age 43. (Id. at 311/318). An Allen Joyce was one of the witnesses to Phebe (Clinton) Applegate’s application for bounty land.
A Lorenzo D Applegate served in the Civil War in Co. C of the 34th NJ. Infantry. (National Park Service, Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System).
Lorenzo died while in service of smallpox at Island No. 10, TN on 17 Feb 1864. There was an application filed for a pension based on Lorenzo’s service shortly thereafter. I have not yet been able to obtain a copy of the entire file.
In 1867, Job Butterworth was appointed guardian of William Applegate and Annie Applegate. The Orphan’s Court order appointing the guardian states they have “no mother” to take care of them and notice has been given to their next of kin of Job’s motion. (Burlington Co (NJ) Orphan’s Court Minutes, 12-234). I have obtained the lengthy guardianship file from Burlington County Miscellaneous Old Probate Records and Job’s actual petition identifies the wards as the children of Lorenzo. (Burlington Co. (NJ) Miscellaneous Probate Documents #615). “The petition of Job Butterworth of the county of Burlington showeth that Lorenzo Applegate late of said county lately died leaving James W. H. Applegate and Phebe A Applegate his children minors now under the age of fourteen.” | Applegate, Lorenzo D (I35745)

[This entry is all kinds of messed up. Geri Applegate’s speculations have made this much more complicated than it needs to be.]
1D3C1L1 Joseph M. Applegate, b. abt 1835 in MO (1850 US Census, MO, Greene Co., Dallas Twp., 1729/1729 [age 15, birthplace MO]; 1860 US Census, TX, Denton Co., p. 39, 259/260 [age 25, birthplace MO]); d. prob 1862. He married Trinvilla Williams, b. abt 1844 in IL or MO (1850 US Census, IL, Hancock Co., 2300/2307 [age 5, birthplace MO]; 1860 US Census, TX, Denton Co., p. 39, 259/260 [age 16, birthplace MO]; 1870 US Census, MO, Douglas Co., Buchanan Twp., p. 1, 5/5 [age 26, birthplace IL]); d. 19 April 1892 in Barry County, MO (picture and records available at <>). Trinvilla married (2), William Fulton Craker, b. abt. 1813 in MS (1850 US Census, AR, Union Co., Jackson Twp., 789/789 [age 30 or 36, birthplace MS]; 1870 US Census, MO, Douglas Co., Buchanan Twp., p. 1, 5/5 [age 57, birthplace MS]; see also Death Certificate TX Lafayette Craker 1971-11-15 [identifying his parents as William Craker and Trinvilla Williams]); d Nov 1892, Rogersville, Webster Co., MO (picture of stone available at <>) William Fulton Craker was the father (via an earlier marriage) of Cathern Craker, who married Joseph M’s brother Gilbert 1D3C1L5.
A search of the National Park Service Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System shows a Joseph Applegate in Company H, Capt. Chandler’s Co., Greene Co., Missouri Home Guard with no other information. The latter unit appears to have been disbanded in 1861--either August or October.
A Joseph Applegate enlisted or was drafted into Company ?F, 73d Regiment of the Enrolled Missouri Militia on 5 August, 1862. He was relieved from duty on February 19, 1863. The Missouri Archives show no other Joseph Applegates in Missouri units. I believe it is likely this is the same Joseph Applegate. (Office of the Adjutant General, Record of Service Card, Box 2, Reel s00808).
If it is the case that Joseph was in the Missouri Home Guard and the Enrolled Militia (both Union organizations), I believe the service records for Joseph Applegate in the 3d AR Infantry (CSA) and 3d TN Cavalry belong to some other Joseph Applegate.
Joseph Gilbert Applegate, believed to be his second child, was born on 17 November, 1862, indicating a conception date in February, 1862. The gap between the disbanding of the Greene Co. Home Guard and enlistment in the Enrolled Missouri Militia provides a gap at precisely the right time--early 1862.
A James Applegate, believed to be the first child of Joseph M, was living in the household of William Ledgerwood in White River, Barry County, MO in 1870. (1870 US Census, MO, Barry Co., White River Twp., p. 15, 98/[blank]). At this time, I do not know the connection between the Applegates and the Ledgerwoods.
A Joseph G Applegate, believed to be the second child of Joseph M, was living in the household of William Craker in Douglas Co., MO in 1870 (1870 US Census, MO, Douglas Co., Buchanan Twp., p. 1, 5/5). Transcript of the census entry for this household:

I believe the William Craker who is the head of this household is the same William Craker I located in the 1850 Census in Arkansas. (1850 US Census, AR, Union Co., Jackson Twp., 789/789). That household consisted of:

I also believe this is the same William Craker who resided in Erath, TX in the 1860 Census [no cite as of yet].
In 1860, Joseph and Trinvilla Applegate were enumerated in Denton County, TX. Joseph was 35, a blacksmith, and born in MO. Trinvilla was 16 and also born in MO. (1860 US Census, TX, Denton Co., p. 39, 259/260).
Trinvilla (as Trin V) was enumerated with her father, Samuel Williams in Hanckcok Co., IL, in 1850. “Trin” was 5 years old and born in MO. (1850 US Census, IL, Hancock Co., 2300/2307). Hancock County is on the border of Missouri. Trin’s father Samuel was 4, a farmer, and born in KY; her mother Amy was 41, and born in OH; her brother Andrew J was 18, and born in OH; her sister Malinda was 9 and born in IL; her brother Martin V was 7, and born in MO. (Id.).
Because I favor information in documents closest to the date of the event described in them, I favor a birthplace of MO for Trinvilla, as that is the place in the 1850 and 1870 census; with the 1870 census claiming a birthplace of IL.
Family lore is that Joseph M died in the Civil War, although probably not while in actual combat. He may have been killed by “bushwackers” after the Battle of Pea Ridge in March of 1862. This may have been during his service in the Enrolled Missouri Militia. Or, given the general unrest in Missouri during this time, as the result of guerilla action.
I am not persuaded that the Joseph M Applegate listed in the US Census in Louisville, KY, is this Joseph. Among other discrepancies, the age of the 1990 Joseph is off by two years, the occupation is wrong, and the birthplace is wrong. See 1900 US Census, KY, Jefferson Co., Mag. Dist. 1, Louisville, [illegible]/74, Sheet 2A, 12/24.
At an unknown date, Geri Applegate of Sand Springs, OK, attempted to reconcile various family stories relating to this branch. Unfortunately, rather than illuminating, her speculations have added to the confusion about this branch.
Geri Applegate claims the mother of James Thomas Applegate and Joseph Gilbert Applegate is “Cathron (Cathrine) Craker”. The grounds for this claim are:
1) Joseph Gilbert Applegate was given to “Lafiette Craker”;
2) Cathron’s father was killed “in the war”; and
3) David Henry Applegate informed the children of Joseph Gilbert Applegate of his impending death and told at least one of them he was a “brother”.
Item 1 is false. Lafayette Craker was born on 5 January 1878, about fifteen years after the birth of Joseph Gilbert Applegate. (Death Certificate TX Lafayatte Craker 1971-11-15). The 1870 Census shows that Joseph G Applegate was, in fact, in the household of William Craker and his mother Trinvilla. (1870 US Census, MO, Douglas Co., Buchanan Twp., p. 1, 5/5).
Item 2 is false. William Fulton Craker, the father of Catherine Craker was alive and well in 1870. (1870 US Census, MO, Douglas Co., Buchanan Twp., p. 1, 5/5).
Item 3 does not support the claim made by Geri Applegate. David Henry was a grandson of William Fulton Craker. He was also a grand-nephew of Trinvilla Williams. He had access to as much information as Catherine and Trinvilla had. Even if he actually claimed to be a long-lost brother, and this report is not misremembered, I believe it is only exaggeration. | Applegate, Joseph M (I12216)

‘Uncle Tom’ appears on the census rolls as Thomas Applegate living with Gertrude [Sr.--the widow of Kenneth] in 1870. 1870 US Census, NJ, Mercer Co., East Windsor Twp., p. 9, 65/65. He was 54, born in NJ, and a dry goods merchant. In 1850, a Thomas Applegate is living in the household of Mary Purdy, very close to Kennith and Gertrude. He was 32, born in NJ, a merchant, and apparently single. 1850 US Census, NJ, Mercer Co., East Windsor Twp., 850/906.
Based upon his age, his residence in Hightstown, his occupation as a merchant, and his lifelong bachelorhood, I believe “Uncle Tom” is Thomas 5A1C1H.
In a mortgage foreclosure case brought in 1896, “Thomas” was identified as a “nephew” of Mrs. Applegate who “was her agent and took charge of her business”. Ely v. Wilson, 61 N.J. Eq. [16 Dickinson] 94, 98 (1906). The case involved the foreclosure of a mortgage originally taken by Kenneth Applegate and assigned over the decades while the land was sold and subdivided and sold again. The case is exceedingly complex.
Thomas was vaguely related to Gertrude wife of Kenneth Applegate. Gertrude’s brother Peter had married Elizabeth Baird, sister of Sarah Baird, the wife of Thomas 5AC1 and mother of Thomas 5AC1H, so she might be considered a sort of ‘aunt by marriage’. ~sta) | Appleget, Thomas (I3479)
