5D4C7A2A BR1A2A Francis Nelson “Frank” Appelgate, February 1872 in NY (1875 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 25, Elec. Dist. 2, p. 57, 678/469; [age illegible]1900 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 23, 2/405, Sheet 1B, 10/14 [February 1872, birthplace NY]; 1905 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn Bor., ED 22, AD 17, Block D, p. 32 [age 35], d. _____; m. abt. 1895 (1900 US Census, supra [married 5 years]) Estelle J. ____, b. June 1876 in NY (1900 US Census, supra [June 1876]; 1905 NY State Census, supra [age 26]); d. _____.

Frank was enumerated in the household of his father George in the 1875 NY State Census. His age is illegible. The next record I can find for him is in the 1900 US Census at 852 Lafayette Ave., in Brooklyn. Frank was born February, 1872, in NY. His wife Estelle was born in March 1896, in NY; and his daughter Evelyn was born in March 1896. (1900 US Census, supra).

The family was enumerated in the 1905 NY State Census living at 350 Stuyvesant in Brooklyn. Frank N was 35, and “with law firm”; wife Estelle J., was 26; daughter Evelyn E., was 8; and daughter Ethel S., was 4.

Daughter Evelyn is the key to linking Frank with his father and sisters. In 1902, Fannie E. Appelgate, daughter of George W. married Theodore Howard Vought. The Brooklyn Eagle reported on the wedding and the entire article is transcribed under Fannie’s entry infra. Of relevance here is one sentence: “Little Miss Evelyn E. Appelgate, the 5 year old niece of the bride, in a white organize dress over pink silk, acted as flower girl.” There is only one candidate for who this Evelyn is—the daughter of Frank. This demonstrates that Frank is the brother of Fannie and thus the son of George W. Appelgate.

I have not been able to locate any further references to Frank or any death information.
