    Notes 
    • 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.”
