    • 1D3C1A3B James William Applegate, b. Feb 1844 in Kentucky [1850 U.S. Census, OH, Scioto Co., Portsmouth, Dist. No. 133, 686/ (age 7, birthplace KY), 1880 US Census, NARA Film No. T9-0417, page 57 C (age 36, birthplace OH), 1900 US Census, KY, Greenup Co., Mag. Dist. 2, Springville, 9/47, sheet 14B, 373/384 (February 1844, birthplace KY)] d. late 1904 [Will of J. W. Applegate, Greenup Co. KY Will Book 9-473 (will written 30 Mar 1904, proved 5 Dec 1904)]. He married on 2 August 1872, at Scioto Co., OH, [Marriage License and Return (Scioto Co, OH) J William Applegate 1872-8-02, Marriages, Vol. 3, p. 365] Elenora Harr, b. 8 Feb 1843 or 1845 [1870 US Census, KY, Greenup Co., Mag. Dist. 2, Springville, p. 34, 283/257 (age 25, birthplace KY), 1880 US Census, supra, (age 36, birthplace KY), 1900 US Census, supra, (Feb 1843, birthplace KY), Portsmouth Daily Times, September 27, 1926 (Obituary; age at death 84). Death Certificate OH Elnora Applegate 1926-09-26 (8 February 1843)], d. 26 September 1926 at Portsmouth, Scioto Co., OH [Portsmouth Daily Times, September 27, 1926; Death Certificate OH Elnora Applegate, supra]. Both James William and Elnora are buried at Harr Cemetery, Greenup Co., KY. [www.findagrave.com; Memorials Nos. 82328872 & 7524503]

      In 1850, James was enumerated with his mother in Scioto Co., OH. I cannot find him in the 1870 Census. In 1880, he was enumerated at Globe School House, Greenup Co., KY. In the household were James William, age 36, birthplace OH; wife Elenora, age 36, birthplace KY; daughter Minnie, age 14, birthplace KY; daughter Nancy E., age 7, birthplace KY; son T. Everett, age 4, birthplace KY; daughter Mary A, age 3, birthplace KY; daughter Mahala, age 4 months; and James's mother Mary Sowash, age 66, birthplace OH. [1880 US Census, supra] I believe Minnie is actually the youngest sister of James's wife Elnora, since her age consistently places her birth about six years before their marriage, and Elnora did have a sister Minnie of approximately the correct age living with her in her father's household in 1870. [1870 US Census, supra].

      According to his stone in Harr Cemetery, James served in Co. F, 33rd Ohio Vol. Inf. in the Civil War. [Findagrave Memorial #7524503]

      In 1900, James was enumerated in Springville, Greenup Co., KY. He was enumerated as born in 1844 in KY. Also in the household is wife Elnora was enumerated as born in 1845 in KY; daughter Mahala (Applegate) Nicholas, born Feb 1880 in KY, and widowed; grandchild Orfa Nichols, born Mar 1896 in OH; son James F. Applegate, born Oct 1882 in KY; and mother-in-law Nancy Harr, born Jun 1826 in OH. [1900 US Census, supra].

      James made his will on 30 Mar 1904. A transcript is attached. He left his wife Nora a life estate in "the home place on the hill", with remainder to Nancy E. Nickel. He left $100 to his son James F. Applegate. He left only $1.00 to his daughter Mahala, by then known as Mahala C. Smith. The will was proven on 5 Dec 1904.
