1D3A5B6 William Lewis Applegate
The History of Blue River Township says William Lewis Applegate 1D3A5B6 was born on 15 April 1833 in Johnson County, Indiana, the son of Bartholomew Applegate 1D3A5B and Elizabeth Drake. It further states he married Miss Katie G Irons, daughter of Garrett Irons and Mary Ann Giberson. After her death, William Lewis Applegate married her sister Miss Annie M Irons sometime after 1872 but before 1876 (the date of the birth of their child Benjamin 1D3A5B6C. Our writeup says the marriage was on 5 May 1875 in Franklin county, Indiana.
I have located the tombstone for Bartholomew Applegate and Elizabeth Drake in Kansas Cemetery, Kansas, Bartholomew County, Indiana. I believe their son Charles Carroll Applegate (1835-1835) is buried with them. Our write up states Bartholomew moved to Johnson County in 1832, which agrees with the state of Charles Carroll’s burial if not the county.
Based on cemetery records of the Old Methodist Cemetery, Toms River, New Jersey, where Garrett Longstreet Irons and Mary Ann Giberson are buried, the mother of Garret Longstreet Irons was Hester Applegate 1D3A4. William Lewis Applegate and the Irons sisters he married were therefore second cousins.
What is unclear is how the Irons sisters got from Toms River, New Jersey, to Johnson County, Indiana. Their parents Garrett Longstreet Irons and and Mary Ann Giberson did not make the move to Indiana--they are both buried in Old Methodist Cemetery in Toms River, New Jersey. Their brothers Benjamin H Irons and Aaron Pitney Irons are also buried in Old Methodist and Riverside Cemeteries in Toms River, New Jersey, so the sisters did not make the move with them.
Bartholomew Applegate’s brother Charles Applegate 1D3A5H also moved to Johnson County, Indiana. However, his move was somewhat later--between his marriage in 1837 in Toms River, NJ, and the birth of his daughter Ann Adelia in 1840 in Johnson County, IN. I believe I have located the stone of Charles S Applegate and his wife in Kansas Cemetery, Kansas, Bartholomew County, Indiana. The stones give slightly different birth years (1813 vs. 1815 for Charles) but I believe they are for the same people. I have found the gravestone of his son Joseph H Applegate 1D3A5H3 in the Kansas Cemetery where his aunt and uncle Bartholomew and Elizabeth are buried.
Bartholomew’s daughter, Margaret Adams Applegate 1D3A5B1 was born in Warren County, Ohio in 1822. This birth in Ohio matches our write up of her father’s peripatetic life. What is interesting is that she married her first cousin once removed, Jacob B Applegate 1D3A10F in 1840 in Johnson County, Indiana. I have located the tombstone for Jacob B in Albright Cemetery, Kokomo, Howard County, Indiana. Jacob B was the son of John C Applegate 1D3A10. John C Applegate died and was buried in Toms River, New Jersey (Cedar Grove Cemetery). This means Jacob B made the move from Toms River, NJ to Indiana on his own sometime before 1840.
Jacob Bs land patents are nearly 10 years after his marriage to Margaret Adams. The patents are for land in Howard County, Indiana. In the biography of his son, Bartholomew W 1D3A10F1, it is stated Bartholomew was born in 1840 in Johnson County and then moved to Howard County in 1847 where they stayed until the “claim could be vacated”. Many of the descendants of Jacob B are buried in Albright Cemetery in Howard County, Indiana. | Applegate, William Lewis (I8886)

1D3C1A3 William Applegate, born c1812; died before 1850, when his wife Mary was enumerated with his children in Scioto Co., OH. He married Mary Campbell at Scioto Co., OH on 21 April 1837 [Scioto Co. OH Marriage Book D-240], born c1820 in KY; died . They lived in Scioto Co., OH. In 1850, Mary, age 30, birthplace KY was enumerated with Emily, age 11, birthplace KY; J.W., age 7, birthplace KY; and Sarah C, age 5, birthplace KY. [1850 US Census, OH, Scioto Co., Portsmouth, Dist. No. 133, 686/]. Mary remarried to Joseph Sowash in Scioto Co., OH on 27 July 1855. [Scioto Co., OH Marriage Book D, p. 19]. She was enumerated in 1870 with Joseph in Greenup Co., KY. Joseph was 72, born in PA and a farm laborer; Mary A was 55, and born in OH. [1870 US Census, KY, Greenup Co., Precinct 2, p. 34, 281/249].
I cannot locate William and Mary's children in the 1870 Census. However, Mary was enumerated with her second husband living next to her future daughter-in-law, Elnora (Harr) Applegage, who was living in her father Thomas's household. [1870 US Census, supra, 283/251].
By 1880, it appears Joseph had died and Mary was living with her son, James William, in Greenup Co. She was identified as Mary Sowash,age 66, birthplace OH, and the mother of James William Applegate [1880 US Census, KY, Greenup Co., Globe School House, NARA Film 417, p. 57D]. | Applegate, William (I4273)

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. | Applegate, James William (I37172)

Based on her age, the date of marriage of James William Applegate and Elnora Harr, and the appearance of a Minnie Harr in the household of Elnora's father Thomas in the 1870 census of approximately the right age, I believe Minnie was actually Elnora's youngest sister, who was adopted either formally or informally by James and Elnora. | Applegate, Minerva "Minnie" (I41309)

Mahala married three times. First, to ____ Nicholas/Nichols sometime before 1896, when her daughter Orfa/Orpha was born. In 1900, she was listed as widowed and living with her parents, so her first husband had died by then. [1900 US Census, supra]. Second, she married Locher Smith sometime before 1902, when her first child of that marriage, Frank Robert Smith, was born. [Findagrave, supra]. She was also identified as Mahala Smith in her father's will in 1904. [Will of J.W. Applegate, Greenup Co., KY, Will Book 9-473]. Based on her receiving only a dollar in the will, her parents may not have approved of this marriage. Locher's name comes from the obituary of her mother in 1926 [Portsmouth Daily Times, September 27, 1926]. Third, she married ____ Kiebler at an unknown date after 1926, the date of her mother's death.

1D3G1A5 Thomas Fowler Applegate
Thomas was born 07 September, 1845. He married Mary N. Jackson on 01 February, 1871 (CJCLDS Film 0493695.) Mary was born in August, 1851 and died after 1900. Thomas was an assessor in Hamilton Township, Mercer County from 1877-1879. He was on the township committee from 1880-1881 (Woodward and Hageman, p. 800.) In 1880, they lived in Hamilton, Second District, Mercer County, NJ. He was 34 and a farmer. Mary N. was 28 while Hannie was 07 and attended school. In 1900, they lived in Hamilton Township, Mercer County. Thomas was born in September, 1845, aged 54, married 29 years and a farmer. Mary was born in August, 1851, aged 48 and had four issue - one living. Mother-in-law Ellen Jackson lived with them. She was a widow.

BELIEVE HE WAS MURDERED
---
SAMUEL SHINN HELD FOR THE DEATH OF A MERCER COUNTY FARMER.
---
Trenton, April 17 (Special)--"We believe Thomas F. Applegate came to his death on his farm, near Extonville, N. J., about 6 o'clock in the morning of March 10, 1901, and we further believe from threats made by Samuel Shinn against Thomas F. Applegate that the said Thomas F. Applegate came to his death at the hands of said Shinn."
This was the verdict of the Coroner's jury which this afternoon concluded its investigation of the mysterious death of Thomas F. Applegate, the Mercer County farmer believed to have been murdered by whitecaps.
Applegate was found dead in his stable at the feet of his horse, his fractured skull bearing the imprint of the animal's hoof. Before the authorities were notified the body was removed and was about to be buried on the afternoon of his death when the county physician and coroner arrived. The removal of the body handicapped the detectives, but suspicions pointed to young Shinn as having been implicated in the death of Applegate, on whose farm he was employed. Blood stains on the barn door and the fact that Shinn and Applegate had had frequent quarrels and that Shinn had often threatened to take Applegate's life were the causes which led to Shinn's arrest a few days after the supposed murder. Besides this there were current rumors that Mrs. Applegae had been too intimate with the young hired man, who was known to have taken her part with some warmth when family difficulties arose.
Mrs. Applegate was the main witness to-day. Her lawyer, Scott Scammell, presented a physician's certificate that she was too ill to attend and asked that the jury go to the house of her sister, in this city, where she was staying. The jury insisted on her presence, and she was carried into the courtroom. She answered all questions with apparent frankness. She admitted being a party to the visits of the whitecaps to her husband, but asserted that the motive was to reform him, as he was then drinking heavily and abusing his family. She admitted that Samuel Shinn and his father, Franklin Shinn, were among the whitecaps. The father conducted Applegate's farm on shares. Mrs. Applegate denied any improper relations with young Shinn. She said when her husband came home on the night before his death he was intoxicated and went to the barn to put up the horse. She did not see him again until his body was found next morning. She knew nothing of Shinn's movements that night. The elder Shinn testified that on the morning Applegate's body was found he discovered his son asleep on a lounge in the Applegate house. Shinn will be hold to await the action of the grand jury.
New York Tribune, July 9, 1901, p. 12
TRIAL OF SHINN BEGINS
---
COUNTY PHYSICIAN THINKS KICK OF A HORSE KILLED APPLEGATE
---
Trenton, July 8.--The trial of Samuel Shinn, charged with the murder of Thomas Applegate, an Extonville farmer, who was found dead in his barn with his skull crushed several months ago, was begun here to-day. After the jury had bee selected Prosecutor Crossley said he expected to prove Shinn's guilt. He charged that undue intimacy existed between Shinn and Mrs. Applegate
County Physician Rogers was the first witness. He testified to the finding of Applegate's body, and described the cuts and bruises thereon. On cross-examination Dr. Rogers gave it as his opinion that the fracture of Applegate's skull had been caused by the kick of a horse, and he was also of the opinion that the fractured skull was the cause of Applegate's death.
It is alleged that in January last Applegate was warned by "whitecaps" that if he did not stop ill treating his wife he would be subjected to a cot of tar and feathers and be compelled to leave the town. Some time after this Applegate and Shinn had a fight in a barroom, and Shin was arrested on complaint of Applegate. From that time on bad feeling is said to have existed between the two men.
Applegate was found dead in a stall of his barn. His body lay close to the heels of his horse, and it was at first generally supposed that he had been kicked to death by the house. The County Prosecutor, however, refused to accept this theory of Applegate's death, and presented the case to the grand jury and had Shinn indicted.
New York Daily Tribune, July 11, 1901, p. 6
CONFESSION OF A "WHITECAP"
---
SAYS MRS. APPLEGATE SUGGESTED TO VISIT HER HUSBAND.
Trenton, July 10.--The third day's trial of Samuel Shinn, accused of the murder of Thomas Applegate, closed with Mrs. Applegate on the witness stand. She denied any improper conduct with Shinn. She also said that Shinn stayed in the Applegate house on the night of March 9, at her request. Shinn, she said, slept downstairs, while she slept upstairs.
Ellis Parker tod of seeing Mrs. Applegate and Shinn misbehave, and Gordon Hendrick swore that he heard Shinn say he would kill Applegate if the latter did not stop interfering with him.
Joseph Scattergood, a brother-in-law of the prisoner, told of the visit of "whitecaps" to Applegate. Mrs. Applegate was present when the party was made up. It consisted of Sam Shinn, Bertha Suthard, George Suthad, the witness and his wife. They put on nightgowns and wrapped white cloths about their heads. The plan was got up because Applegate abused his wife. Mrs. Applegate suggested it. When they seized and tied Applegate Mrs. Applegate appeared and began to cry. She was only pretending in order to deceive her husband. She begged the party to leave her husband alone, and they departed without hurting him.
New York Tribune, July 12, 1901, p. 7
SHINN'S DEFENCE OPENED.
---
PHYSICIAN SAYS HORSE, NOT WHTE CAPS, KILLED APPLEGATE--
Trenton, July 11.--The Prosecution in the trial of Samuel Shinn for the murder of Thomas Applegate closed this morning with a short cross-examination of Mrs. Applegate. The defence opened by a statement by counsel for Shinn that it would be proven that Applegate was not murdered. The theory was advanced that Applegate while in the stable was seized with vertigo and was kicked to death by his horse. Dr. Johnson, of Allentown, testified that he though this theory to be correct. Shinn was placed on the stand, and just before his evidence was completed the question was put to him whether or not he had murdered Applegate. Shinn straightened up, and without a tremor in his voice replied, "I did not."
Shinn denied there was any intention to harm Applegate when the White Caps visited him. He said the idea was simply to scare him and make him cease abusing Mrs. Applegate. | Applegate, Thomas Fowler (I5248)

YOUNG CAROUSE DEAD.
---
Mysterious End of Girl’s First Night of Dissipation.
---
Nineteen-year-old Eda Wilson, of N.r 506 St. John’s Place, Brooklyn, as the result of her first dissipation, died yesterday morning in a furnished room house at Nr. 107 Montague street. Eda and her sister Bella, who is twenty-two years old, had had a late supper with two men in a Fulton street restaurant, after which the quartet went to the Montague street house to spend the night.
The two men who were with the girls, William McElhenney, of No. 19 Fourth avenue, Brooklyn, and Myron Applegate, of No. 122 St. Felix street, were arrested yesterday and taken to the Adams street court to be held as material witnesses. Later they were released in $1,000 bail each.
According to Bella Wilson’s story, she and her sister met the two men in a restaurant about 11 o’clock Sunday night. They had a hearty meal, including several glasses of beer, and then hired a cab and went to the Montague street house, which is kept by Mrs. Laura M. Bouvier. The two couples occupied adjoining rooms. The older sister said that Eda, who had never spent the night away from home before and who was not used to drinking beer, was beginning to feel the effect of the drinks when they arrived at the house.
Applegate, who was with the younger girl, left the house at about 4 o’clock yesterday morning. At 8 o’clock Bella went into the room to rouse her sister that they might be in time to go to their regular work as lace folders in the factory of Davis & Quick, at No. 315 S. Mark’s avenue.
Eda seemed to be very ill and said she could not get up. Bella at once telephoned for Dr. John D. Byrne, of No. 224A Sixth avenue, who found the girl dead on his arrival.
Coroner Brewer announced that the cause of death was acute indigestion. | Applegate, Myron Diomed (I4724)

1D4A1 Thomas Loveland Applegat (1860 Census, Ocean Co., Dover twp., Toms River, Toms River P.O., NJ-“Applegate”—ED)
Definitive work on Thomas is being done by Richard Kuntz (1996.) Most of this information comes from that manuscript. Richard is a top notch researcher and documents his sources.
Thomas was born 22 October, 1792 in Toms River, NJ (Bible, Ocean County Historical Society.) There is general agreement that his mother was Lucretia Byrd and his father was an Ebenezer Applegate. It is also thought that Sarah Byrd, sister of Lucretia, married an Ebenezer Applegate who was the son of Jacob and Esther Irons. There are, however, no hard data.
He married Hannah L. (Kuntz-Voress-“T”—ED) Thompson in 1816 (Kuntz-Voress-in “Toms River”—ED). She was born 19 October, 1796 in St. John’s, New Brunswick, Canada and died 10 December, 1871 (Service Record of Son-Voress—“1868”—ED) in Toms River, Dover Twp., Ocean Co., NJ (NJVS) (NEW JERSEY STATE ARCHIVES, RETURNS OF DEATHS-Kuntz-Voress-of “Parrallasis”—ED). (1870 Census, Dover Township, Toms River PO, Ocean County, NJ-There is a chance she is the “Ella” mentioned in this cited Census report. The report says she bwas 73 years old, which fits, and that she was born in St. John Province Canada, which fits.—ED) She served as a substitute school teacher. The family moved to the Toms River area on some unknown date. Hannah's parents were Timothy (Kuntz-Voress-“Timithy”—ED) and Hannah. Mother Hannah died soon after daughter Hannah's birth and Timothy remarried to Althea (maiden name not known.) Timothy died 01 October, 1808 and is buried in the Old Methodist Cemetery in Toms River. It is believed his grave is the earliest there.
Thomas was a farmer and according to his great-granddaughter "He must have had a big farm for he sailed his crops around to New York to sell." (James Gulick day book-J Kennedy-Voress-He sold some crops locally as we have these notations; “1837 5 B. Corn @ 8/6 $5.31” and “1838 100 ibs. Indian meal 2.25 Carting freight .16” and “1838 1 barrel flour 5.50 Carting of freight .38”—ED)
Thomas served in the War of 1812 as a teamster (Voress and family traditions.) No records to verify this have been found. However, the National Society of United States Daughter of 1812 does list him.
On 21 March, 1825, Thomas cosigned a $500 bond for Peter Winwright Jr. to become Constable for Dover Township. There were five other cosigners but none were Applegates. In addition to this public service, Thomas also served as Overseer of the Highways for 1829, 1837, 1845, 1846 and 1847.
Thomas registered his ear mark on 05 February, 1830. It was: half penny out under side left ear and half crop of upper side same. It formerly was the mark of Edward Wilbour's.
In the 1830 census (p. 378,) Thomas L. and family lived in Dover Township, Monmouth County. There were two males <5 (John W. and Nathan S.), two between 5 and 10 (Thomas B. and Ebenezer), one between ten and fifteen (Vincent W.) and one between 30 and 40 (Thomas L.); females were one <5 (Lucinda), one between 10 and 15 (Alithea), one between 30 and 40 (Hannah) and one between 90 and 100 (mother?.)
(Jacob I. Applegate’s store balance sheets-J Kennedy-Voress-As long as we are about to enter 1840, we can take a little personal look at Thomas by peeking at some of the business he is doing with Jacob.

In the 1840 census (p. 161,) Thos. L. and family lived in Dover Township, Monmouth County. There were two males <5 (Israel and Oscar F.), three between 5 and 10 (Edwin R., Benjamin T. and Charles L.), two between 10 and 15 (Nathan S. and John W.), one between 15 and 20 (Ebenezer or Thomas B.) and one between 40 and 50 (Thomas L.;) there was one female <5 (Agnes R.) , one between 10 and 15 (Lucinda) and one between 40 and 50 Hannah.) Five were engaged in agriculture and one in navigation of ocean.
In the 1850 census (p. 094,) the family lived the same place. Thomas was 57, a farmer and worth $3,000. Hannah was 53, the five oldest boys were John 25, Nathan 22, Charles 20, Benjamin T. 18, and Edwin R. 17; all were laborers. Agnes was 15. Oscar and Israel I. were 12 and 11 respectively and both attended school. Thaddeus was 07.
In the 1860 census (p. 029,) Thom L. and family still resided in Dover Township, Ocean County. Thom was 68, a farmer, had real estate worth $400 and a personal worth of $300. Hannah was 64 and born New Brunswick, Israel was 21 and Thaddeus was 17; both were laborers.
Thomas L. was listed as a Trustee of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Cedar Grove, when land was deeded to the Church by Ebenezer Applegate on 01 January, 1848. Other trustees were: Joseph B. Applegate, Moses Applegate, Samuel C. Applegate and several nonApplegates. The deed (Monmouth County Court House, 4:398) conveys 1/4 acres near the "Applegate Burying Ground."
Thomas died 16 (Kuntz-Voress-“6”—ED) (NEW JERSEY STATE ARCHIVES, RETURNS OF DEATHS-Kuntz-Voress-“9”—ED) January, 1868 (NEW JERSEY STATE ARCHIVES, RETURNS OF DEATHS-Kuntz-Voress-in “Toms River, Dover Township, Ocean County, NJ”—ED) and was buried in Cedar Grove Methodist Cemetery. Thos L's estate was proven in Ocean County Orphans Court on 31 January, 1868 by Hannah Applegate, Vincent Applegate and Charles L. Applegate. The estate was $200 even. It consisted chiefly of household goods with some farming utensils (Appendix.)

(The following is an “edited transcript” of a letter from Hannah to her son Nathan and his wife, dated “November 23, 1869. It comes to us from Kuntz through Voress. Kuntz believes it was probably addressed to Holt County, Missouri, and written about two years after Thomas died.—ED)

1D4A1B Vincent Wainwright Applegate
Most of my information comes from Kuntz (1996.) He is a gifted researcher and most careful to cite his sources.
Vincent was born 04 February, 1819 in the Cedar Grove section of Dover Township (Bible, Ocean County Historical Society.) He married 06 January, 1842 (Kuntz-Voress-“1845” [but the 1850 census indicates an earlier year, such as the 1842 year cited here by Howard]—ED) to Hannah C. Leming (Monmouth County Historical Association, personal communication.) She was born 30 (Monmouth County Historical Association-Howard-Voress-“20”—ED) March, 1823 (1870 Census, Dover Township, Toms River PO, Ocean County, NJ-c1827—ED) (1880 Census, Toms River, Ocean County, NJ-c1821—ED) and died 29 May, 1902 (Voress) (Voress-“in Dover Township”—ED); her death certificate says she was born in 1821 (Kuntz, 1995a.) Hannah's parents were Charles and Phoebe (Voress-“Phebe”—ED) Leming.
James Gulick day book-J Kennedy-Voress-In the cited day book, Mr Gulick mentions paying “$17.87” for “By 2 months & 7 days wages per son Vincent @ 8.00 per month” and paying “$77.40” for “8 months and 18 days wages per son Vincent at $9.00.” He got a raise.—ED) On 01 March, 1851, Vincent registered his ear mark: half penny out of the upper side of each ear. Formerly, the mark belonged to Joseph Morcent.
In 1850 (p. 091,) he lived in Dover, Ocean County. Vincent was 30, a laborer and worth $750. Hannah was 26, Mary H. 08, Madeline 06, Emma 04 and Thomas 02. In 1860 (p. 008), they lived in Toms River. He was 40 and a farmer, Hannah was 38, Emma 14, Thomas 10, Lottie 08, Ella 04 and Vincent 4/12. In 1870, Vincent was 51, a farmer, had real estate worth $1,000 and a personal estate of $500 (1870 Census, Dover Township, Toms River PO, Ocean County, NJ-and lived in this cited place at this cited time.—ED). Hannah was 43, Mary H. 24, Madaline 22, Emma 20, Thomas 19, Lettie 16, Ella 13, Vincent 08, George 07 and Ida 05. In 1880 (1880 Census, Toms River, Ocean County, NJ-At this cited time they were living in this cited place.—ED), he was 60 and a farmer. Hannah was 59, Vincent 20, a farm laborer and illiterate, George 18 and a farm laborer and Ida 14. They lived next to Thomas A. In 1900, Vincent was born February, 1819, aged 81, married 50 years and a farmer; Hannah was 78 (born May, 1822) and had eight issue seven living. Ida VanSant (daughter) was 30 (born February, 1870) and married 11 years. They lived next to Frank.
Vincent died 20 (Kuntz-Voress—“19”—ED) (J Kennedy-Voress-“29”—ED) May, 1902 (Voress-“in Dover Township”—ED). (Voress—They are—ED) buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery (GMNJ, 48:98 103, 1973.) | Applegate, Vincent Wainwright (I5791)
