    Notes 
    • 5D4C7D BR1D (5D4C7C) George S Applegate, b. abt 1824, in Kings Co., NY (1850 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn, 11th Ward, 269/521 [age 26, birthplace NY]; 1875 NY State Census, Kings Co., Ward 11, Elec. 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.
