    Notes 
    • 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)
