    Notes:

    5E8E1 Matthew Rue Applegate
    Matthew was born c. 1777 (Voress.) MEA says "not earlier than 1775 and possibly ten years later." Our first firm date is when he inherited the "homestead" of his grandfather upon the death of his father (c. 1833.)
    Voress says he was listed in the 1778?80 tax returns of South Amboy with 95 acres; in 1791, he was listed in South Amboy/New Brunswick with 40 acres; in 1793, he was listed as "Nathnl, aged 38. From September, 1791 until 1822, he was listed in New Brunswick, South Ward or South Brunswick with 50 acres. I have been unable to verify these data.
    MEA believes Matthew married Catherine Sutfin (Cecily—“Sutphin”—ED) Davison on 27 February, 1817 by Rev. George S. Woodhill. She goes on to speculate that Catherine (Cecily—was born “ca. 1780”—ED) was the daughter of Daniel Davison, an executor of both Matthew's father (Nathaniel) and mother (Jane) wills.
    Matthew's death was c. 1838, (Howard—prior to Mar 1839—ED). Prior to it, he may have moved to New York City. (He is listed in NY census, NY CO, 9th ward, NYC, 1820.—ED) In addition, in his brother Elijah’s will of 1835, he is identified as a resident of New York City. His brother also calls him a “builder”. (Will of Elijah Applegate New York (NY) Will Book 74-464 (old 456)). He may have been in business with his brother and Aaron Hendicks as a developer, but I cannot find any NY deeds showing he bought and sold peoperty with them.
