    Notes 
    • 5D4C7A2 BR1A2 (5D4C7E2) George W. Applegate, b. Oct., 1843 in Kings Co., NY (1850 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn, 11th Ward, 116/217 [age 7, birthplace NY]; 1870 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn, 11th Ward, p. 8, 22/64 [age 25, birthplace NY]; 1875 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 25, Elec. Dist. 2, p. 57, 678/469 [age 32, birthplace Kings Co., NY]; 1900 US Census, NY, Kings Co., New York, Brooklyn Bor., Dist. 2/400, Sheet 3A, 25/53 [October 1843, birthplace NY]; 1905 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn Bor., ED 20, AD 17, Block A, p. 4 [age 62, birthplace NY], d. 25 Jan 1925 in Kings Co., NY (Brooklyn Eagle, June 26, 1925, p. 20); m. abt 1873 (1900 US Census, supra [married 27 years]) Eliza E. “Lidy” Ellsworth, b. Feb 1848 in Kings Co., NY (1875 NY State Census, supra [age 27, birthplace Kings Co., NY]; 1900 US Census, supra [February 1848, birthplace NY]; 1905 NY State Census, supra [age 57, birthplace NY]); d. 10 Mar 1933 (Brooklyn Daily Eagle, March 12, 1933, p. 20).

      George followed his father into the construction trade, but seems to have been more on the business side. In the 1870 Census, he was living in his parents’ household in Brooklyn and employed as a clerk. (1870 US Census, supra). By 1875, he had married and moved out on his own. In the 1875 NY state census, George W Applegate, age 32, Brick M [probably manufacturer] was living with his wife Lidy, age 27, and infant son Francis [illegible] (1875 NY State Census, supra). He is listed in the 1878 Brooklyn city directory as a brick manufacturer working at the corner of Yates [sic—should be Gates] and Putnam Ave., with a home at 678 Yates [sic]. (1878 Brooklyn City Directory, p. 16). In 1879-80, he is listed as a clerk, residing at 678 Gates. The directory gives his middle initial as “W”. (1879-8 Lain Brooklyn City Directory). By 1879, he was listed as a contractor, still living at 678 Gates. The directory continues to use the middle initial “W”. (1897 Lain Brooklyn City Directory).

      George and his family were enumerated at their house at 678 Gates Ave. in the 1900 US Census. George was born in October, 1843, in NY, and a building contractor. His wife Eliza E. was born in February 1848, in NY and the mother of 5 children—4 still living. Three daughters lived in the household: Fannie, born February 1878, in NY; Aidia or Lidia (very difficult to read), born October 1881, in NY; and Florence, born August 1884, in NY.

      George and family were still living in the house at 678 Gates in 1905, when they were enumerated in the NY state census. George W. was 62 and a contractor; wife Eliza was 57; daughters Lida/Ada and Florence were 23 and 20.
