Isaiah Applegate, b. abt. 1800 [1850 US Census, PA, Greene Co., 25/25 (age 50, birthplace PA)], d. 1851 [Findagrave Memorial # 83330396; Greene Co. PA Will Book 3-111 (letters of administration for estate issued 26 Jul 1852); Greene Co. PA Orphan's Court Docket 3-286 (guardians appointed for minor children of Isaiah Applegate 22 Dec 1852).
In 1850, Isaiah "Applegait" was enumerated in Richhill Twp., Greene Co., PA. He was 50, a farmer, and born in PA. Also in the household was Catherine Applegate, age 37, birthplace PA; Morrison Applegate, age 22, birthplace PA; Robert Applegate, age 1, birthplace PA; Maria Woods, age 16, birthplace PA; John Woods, age 11, birthplace PA; and Nathaniel Kerr, age 24, birthplace PA. Maria Woods and John Woods are probably children of Catherine from a previous marriage. Morrison Applegate, because of the large age gap between him and Robert Applegate, is probably Isaiah's son from a previous marriage.
Isaiah died sometime between 1850 (when he was enumerated in the Census) and June,1852, when Morrison Applegate was granted Letters of Administration for his estate [Greene Co. PA Will Book 3-111]. On 1 Oct 1852, Katharine Applegate applied for a guardian for her two children with Isaiah. She identified Robert, age 4 and Alvira, age 1. The court appointed John Scott, Sr.--possibly Catherine's father--as guardian. [Greene Co. PA Orphan's Court Docket 3-286].
In 1860, Catharine Applegate was enumerated in Richhill Twp., Greene Co., PA. She was 47, born in PA. Also enumerated with her were Robert, age 11, born in PA and Elvira, age 9, born in PA. [1860 US Census, PA, Greene Co., Richhill Twp., NARA Film No. 653, p. 45, Fam # 320]. "M.U." (Morrison) and his family were living nearby.
In 1870, Catherine Applegate was enumerated in Richhill Twp., Greene Co., PA. Catherine was 50, born in PA. Also in the household were Robert Applegate, age 22, birthplace PA; and Elvira Applegate, age 19, birthplace PA.
In 1880, Catharine Applegate was enumerated in Richhill Twp., Greene Co., PA. Catharine was 74, born in PA. The head of the household was Samuel M. Jones, age 30, born in PA. Samuel's wife was Elvira, age 28, birthplace PA--Catharine's daughter. Also in the household were Samuel and Elvira's children, Morgan V, age 8, birthplace PA; and Minnie B, age 2, birthplace PA [1880 US Census, PA, Greene Co., Richhill Twp., NARA Film No. T9-1133, Page 351D].
In 1900, Kate was enumerated, still in Richhill Twp., in the household of her grandson Morgan Jones. She was born in Nov 1813, in PA, the mother of 5 children, of whom three were living. The head of the household was Morgan Jones, b. Jan 1872 in PA, Catharine's grandson.
Based on the geographic closeness between Isaiah and Susannah and Rebeccah's families and the familial closeness between Isaiah's family and Susannah's, I'm willing to commit to Isaiah being a brother of Susannah and Rebeccah. The next available Voress Number in this family is 5F3A12. | Applegate, Isaiah (I41384)

It appears Anthony Applegate died intestate and insolvent. Burlington Co. Orphans Court Docket 9:244. The Orphan Court ordered two parcels of land owned by Anthony to be sold. One of them--the parcel on north side of Ridge Road in Southhampton Twp., Burlington Co. NJ, was sold to William B. Applegate at public auction on 3 January 1849.

J.F. APPLEGATE, who is one of the respected and useful men of Orange township, for the past ten years a member of the school board and interested in everything that promises to be beneficial to this section, resides on his well cultivated farm, which contains fifty-four and one-third acres. He was born February 25, 1849, in Green township, Shelby county, within a half mile of Plattsville, and is a son of Edward and Elizabeth (Kiser) Applegate…
J.F. Applegate attended the district schools in Green township in boyhood, having the usual country boy advantages afforded at that btime, and remained with his father until he was twenty-six years old, coming then to Orange township and for ten years afterward lived on his father-in-law’s farm. From there he moved to the one he now occupies and successfully operates, for the past twenty years having carried on farming and stock raising here. Duringt this time he has made many changes and improvements and has a valuable property.
Mr. Applegate married Miss Mina T. Bull, a daughter of Hiram Bull, and five children were born to them: Rollo, who died when aged four years; Fleetwood, who lives near Springfield, O.; Forrest E., who is a resident of Sidney; Charles C., who is the practical home farmer; and Edward, who is now deceased, served as a soldier in the Philippine Islands. Mr Applegate and family are members of the Methodist Episcopal church. In politics a democrat, while living in Green township, Mr Applegate served as a trustee and has also served two times as township clerk and has been a member of the school board since coming to Orange township. He belongs to the Odd Fellows, at Plattsville. | Applegate, Joseph Franklin (I7496)

Jane Applegate is enumerated with William Henry in the 1850 Census. They are residing in the household of John and Emaline A Innes. In his will, William identifies Emaline as his sister-in-law.

John 1A (Son of Bartholomew 1; Grandson of Thomas)
Voress says he was born c. 1650. According to town records, a John Appellgate witnessed a sale of land in Oyster Bay on 29 January, 1678 (Cox, p. 587.) This is our first authentic record. He was given land in Oyster Bay, by the town authorities, on 27 March, 1683. John received "a hous lott of three Accars" which formerly belonged to John Frost, "ten Accars of land in ye comans" and "one Acar of ye Cove Swomp if it can be allowed". He was given "fre privilidge for graseing and timber in the towne comans." In the deeds, he was referred to as "John Apellgatte" (Cox, p. 263.)
On 19 February, 1684, according to Cox (p. 314,) a Thomas Townsend "for divers good considerations" sold John eight acres at "ye old plantinn field and a piece of swomp and upland at ye head of ye swomp." This land of John's was later used as a boundary. On 06 January, 1685, "Suscaneman alias Runasuch, Cherhegen alias Quarapin and Samos sold to Robert Townsend, son of Henry Townsend, Sr. land known as Cedar Swamp "... bounded on the south by John Applegate's land." The deed was entered 21 April, 1685 (Index, Bl:58.)
John signed on back of the original deed that recorded the first purchase of land for Oyster Bay from the Indians. The codicil, dated 06 March, 1685, stated that those signing on back had the same rights and privileges as signers on front (Cox, p. 333.) Later, John purchased another piece of land from the Indians. On 26 March, 1685, Quarapin, Suscanema and Samous (same Indians - different spelling) sold a piece of Cedar Swamp (about 60 acres) to John for £12. The land adjoined that of Robert and James Townsend (Cox, p. 509.)
A John Appelgat witnessed the division of the estate of Peter Wright, Sr. on 06 October, 1685 (Cox, p. 316.) Sometime in 1685, John was listed as a freeholder in Oyster Bay (Mere-Smith, p. 89.)
John apparently sold some of his land on some unknown date. A James Blevin recorded the sale of all his land in Oyster Bay on 14 January, 1687 except "that he bought of John Applegate" (Cox, p. 457.)
John made his will on 12 January, 1687 (Records, County Clerk at Jamaica. A:33; Abstracts, Bl:16.) It was proven 11 November, 1688. Stillwell-a (3:4) is in error in saying it was proven 24 October, 1688. However, he may be right in saying John died around 22 May, 1688.
His will (Appendix) gave one third to brother Daniel ID, one third to sister Hannah and one third to sister Mary. Daniel was executor; witnesses were John Taylor, Daniel Weeks and Anthony Gleam.
Stillwell says the two women released Daniel from his duties the same day John died. This would imply they were gathered around the death bed in Oyster Bay. This does not seem likely. Moreover, there is documentary evidence the release did not happen until 25 May, 1688 (See Daniel ID.) Moreover, on 10 November, 1688, "Daniel Applegate of East Jersey of Monmouth County" sold both the land John purchased from the Indians and the land given him by the city to a Samuel Dickinson (Cox, p. 509-511.) On the same day, in another deed, "Daniel Applegate of Shrewsbury of East Jersey ... sole executor" sold to Isaac Doughty of Kittleworth, land which James Townsend sold to John on 14 October, 1685 (Cox, p. 515.)
A link between the Forman/Furman family and the Applegate family was established on 23 June, 1690. Thomas Forman of Jerusalem in East New Jersey, sold to Thomas Young, land that was first John Frost's and then John Applegate's (Cox, p. 577.)
Apparently, John never married. | Applegate, John (I2587)

John Applegate, a soldier in the war of 1812, was born September 23, 1794, near Maysville, Mason county, Kentucky. His father, Henry Applegate, was a soldier in the war of Independence, probably from Virginia. John Applegate entered the service from Kentucky in the year 1812. He served in the infantry, and was at the Battle of Lundy’s Lane and other engagements. While home on furlough, he was married to Elizabeth Trafford, of Irish decent, who was born in 1796. He was discharged in 1815. He received land warrant for one hundred sixty acres of land. This he sold. He had fourteen children, seven sons and five daughters, also two who died infants, unnamed. In the state of Kentucky his business was that of an overseer. He was an old Whig. He removed, first, to Rush county, Indiana, and then in the year 1836 to Delaware county. He purchased 160 acres of land now known as the Franklin Fullhart farm, a large part of which he cleared, and upon which he resided until the year 1842. He was the owner, also, of 80 acres on the north, and the same upon the east of the home place. He removed to Iowa, remained four years, came back and purchased part of the land he formerly owned. Again sold out and returned to Iowa in 1855, and lost his wife in 1856. He then came back to Delaware county, where he resided until February 2, 1862, the date of his death. He was buried at the Yorktown cemetery. He was a member of the United Brethren church.

JOHN HAGAN APPLEGATE-Among the early settlers who came to this country from England, were three brothers of the Applegate family, John, Jacob, and Bartholomew, who settled in New Jersey, John settling in South Jersey, Jacob in the western part of the state, and Bartholomew in the eastern section.
From these progenitors a numerous family is descended, and as early as 1674, a Thomas and Bartholomew Applegate are mentioned in Freehold records. These latter were from Gravesend, Long Island, and while Bartholomew visited the county, it is probable that he did not settle in it. Thomas Applegate married Johannah Gibbons, a daughter of Richard Gibbons, who was one of the twelve patentees of Monmouth. He died about the beginning of 1699, leaving six sons: Thomas, John, Daniel, Joseph, Benjamin, and Richard. His wife, Johannah, survived him, and she and her father are recorded as his executors. His will was dated February 1, 1698, and proved February 1, 1699. his eldest son, Thomas, settled at Perth Amboy; he married Ann, and their sons were: Thomas, John, James, and Andrew. From the descendents of Thomas and Johannah, sprang a numerous progeny, numbering today many thousands, some of whom settled in Trenton, some in Freehold, one branch in Ocean County, in Monmouth, and others scsattered throughout the country. Joseph Applegate was the well remembered Justice of the Peace of Toms River, anjd in the patriot army in the American Revolution, Monmouth County was represented by the following Applegates: Daniel, John, Joseph, and William. The surname Applegate is from the ancient Saxon word, applegarth, meaning an apple orchard, which probably points to the early occupation of the family in that far-back distant period.
John Hagan Applegate was born on April 9, 1830, son of Bartholomew, born April 11, 1800, and Lucretia (Applegate) Applegate, the latter born June 16, 1806. The son was educated in the public schools of Cedar Grove, and when his education was completed, became a farmer, which occupation he followed all his life. He was active in affairs in his community, being a Republican is his politics. In his fraternal association he was a member ofr the Toms River Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; and in his religious affiliation a member of the Methodist Church.
Mr. Applegate married in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1862, Madeline Middleton Applegarth, who was born November 1, 1844, at Cedar Grove, daughter of Vincent W. and Hannah C. (Leming) Applegate, and they became the parents of two children: Estella, born March 26, 1863; and Bartholomew, born April 30, 1865. | Applegate, John Hogan (I8227)

JOHN W. APPLEGATE, who occupies a pleasant and comfortable home near Noblesville, is one of the well known citizens of Hamilton County, for he has here made his home for many years. He was born Feb. 16, 1829, and is the son of Daniel and Margaret (Wise) Applegate. His father was born and reared on a farm in New Jersey, and remained at home until thirty years of age, when he went to Ohio. In 1825, he came to Indiana, locating in Indianapolis, where he followed farming. The following year he arrived in Hamiliton County, where he spent his remaining days. He was accidently killed at the age of forty years. His wife was born near Urbana, Ohio, and is now living in Noblesville, at the home of her daughter. Six children were born to Mr. And Mrs. Applegate, and all are yet living. The grandfather, John Applegate, was also a native of New Jersey, and was killed near Noblesville by a log falling on him when eighty-three years of age. He served in the Revolutionary War, and was also in the War of 1812. His family numbered seven children, of whom two are yet living.
In the district schools our subject acquired his education, and upon the home farm spent the days of his boyhood and youth.. He was married on the 9th of October, 1853, to Miss Mary M., daughter of George and Catherine Ingerman, who were natives of Germany, and crossed the Atlantic to America when their daughter was about five months old. They settled in Pennsylvania, and in 1849 came to this county. Four years previous they had taken up their residence in Wayne County. Here the father passed away at the age of seventy-two, and the mother departed this life at the age of eighty-two. In their family were ten children, six of whom are still living.
Unto Mr. and Mrs. Applegate has been born q family of children. George D., who was born February 14, 1854, wedded Mary Rockey, and has five children; Margaret, who was born May 19, 1862, is the wife of Harry Sapper, a farmer, by whom she has three children; Charles F., who was born February 11, 1865, was educated in the finest medical colleges of the land, and is now a physician of Indianapolis; David S., who was born January 25, 1867, is at home; Mary M. who was born June 29, 1869, is the wife of Charles Mitchell, a millwright, by whom she has a son and daughter; and Harry R., was born September 10, 1873. Valentine, William H., Andrew J. and Theodore R. are deceased.
After his marriage, Mr. Applegate located upon the farm where he now lives. Only a small tract had been cleared, and for eight years he lived in a rude log cabin He then built a hewed log house, which continued to be his home until 1875, when he erected a commodious and substantial residence at the cost of $5,000. It is one of the fine homes of the community. The barn was built at a cost of $3,500, and other improvements have been made in keeping with these just mentioned. In fact, the farm is one of the best improved in the county. Mr. Applegate’s possessions stand as a monument to his enterprise and industry, for he started out in life empty-handed, and has acquired all that he has by his untiring labors. He and his wife attend the Lutheran Church. He cast his first Presidential vote for James K. Polk, and was a member of the Glee Club during the Clay campaign. He now votes with the Democratic party. | Applegate, John Wise (I6797)

JOSEPH APPLEGATE.
Almost an octogenarian and yet an interested witness of the events which go to make up the history of Brooklyn, Joseph Applegate is numbered among the venerable and highly respected residents of the city, whose growth he has witnessed from the time when it was a small town of one thousand until to-day its metropolitan appearance and proportions place it in the front rank among the leading cities on the Atlantic coast. He was long connected with its manufacturing interests, but is now living retired in the enjoyment of an ample competence which his years of earnest and well directed labor brought to him.
Mr. Applegate is a representative of old families of Long Island. His uncle, Samuel Smith, was at one time mayor of Brooklyn and married a Miss Joraleman, who belonged to an old and noted family of the city. 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.
Joseph Applegate was born September 29, 1812. in the old family home on Main street, near Fulton street, in Brooklyn, and after his mother's second marriage accompanied his step-father and the family to New York city. He pursued his education in the public schools and at an early age learned the cabinet-maker's trade, which he followed for many years. He extended the scope of his business in 1859 by engaging in the manufacture of coffins, and was one of the first to engage in a wholesale business in that line. His work attained such a degree of excellence that his reputation in that direction spread throughout the country and his business increased to extensive proportions. In 1863 he returned to Brooklyn and here continued a successful manufacturing business until 1891, when he retired from active life. The volume of his trade had constantly grown and his sales were so large that each year he added to his financial resources and with a handsome income to supply all his needs and provide him with many of the luxuries of life he disposed of his industrial interests in order to spend his remaining days in the enjoyment of a well earned rest.
In 1835 occurred the marriage of Mr. Applegate and Miss Ianthe Jarvis, a daughter of Ebenezer and Bethsheba Jarvis, and together they traveled life's journey happily for sixty-three years, but death at length separated them, the loving and faithful wife being called to the home beyond January 21, 1897. She was a most estimable lady and had been to her husband a faithful helpmate.
Mr. Applegate is a valued member of several fraternal and social organizations. He belongs to the Hanover Club, the Society of Old Brooklynites and to Hyatt Lodge, F. & A. M. He was initiated into Polar Star Lodge of the Masonic fraternity in the early '50s, and during his long connection therewith filled nearly all of its offices and was its trusted and capable; treasurer for many years. He attends the First Dutch Reformed church.
He relates in entertaining manner many interesting incidents of early Brooklyn life. In his boyhood days the city contained a population of only one thousand, and he has therefore witnessed almost its entire development, taking just pride in its progress and improvement. As the years passed, through his business sagacity and thrift he acquired a competency which brought to him all the necessities and many of the luxuries of life, and enabled him to contribute largely to charitable institutions and benevolent purposes. He has never selfishly hoarded his wealth, but prompted by a broad humanitarian spirit has extended a helping hand to many who have reason to hold him in grateful remembrance for his timely assistance in their hour of need. Although he has now reached the very advanced age of eighty-nine years he is still well preserved both mentally and physically and has the vigor and appearance of a much younger man; and now in the evening of life, venerated and respected by all, he can look back over the past without regret and forward to the future without fear.

He then worked on the Pennsylvanis canal for a period of two years, and after this accepted a position with Henry Nice, one of the pioneer brick manufacturers of the city, remaining with him six years to learn the business of making and burning brick in all details.

From 1861 to 1863 he was employed in the brick yard ofd William Pitcher. In the latter year, at the earnest solicitation of D.P. frost, he entered the employ of that gentleman, remaining with him for the long period of twenty five years. During a part of this time he was a driver and the remainder of the time was spent as superintendent meat department. In association with A.H. Dey, of Trenton, and J.V.D. Beekman, of Hightstown, in 1888, the firm of Applegate and Company was organized, each partner contributing five thousand dollars, and this in existence at the present time. The land on which they commenced ooperations was owned by S.K. Wilson, and produced three millions annually. They purchased the W.W.
