    Notes 
    • Josiah Applegate, the father of our subject, was a native of New Jersey and married Ann Smith, a daughter of Zachariah Smith, whose ancestors resided for many years at Huntington, Long Island. By trade Josiah Applegate was a mason and with others he assisted in throwing up the trenches in which were interred the bodies of so many of those who died on the prison ships in the Wallabout during the occupation of New York by the British in the war for independence. He died when his son Joseph was only about four years of age, and his widow afterward married again.
