  Notes	XB1 Henry Applegate, born 1792 in NJ; died . He married Julia (1850 PA Census says “Julian”.—ED), born 1793; died . They were separated in 1850, but both living in Lancaster, PA. [There is a Henry Applegate, age 58, birthplace NJ, occupation laborer enumerated in Martic Twp., Lancaster, PA in 1850, living alone. (1850 US Census, PA, Lancaster Co., Martic Twp., 147/451). There is a Julian Applegate (female), age 57, no birthplace given, in Caernarvon Twp., Lancaster Co., PA, in 1850. Also living in the household is William, age 22, a stone mason; Elizabeth, age 19; and John, age 7. No birthplaces are given for any of these people. It makes sense to conclude William and John are the children of Julian, but John—who would have been born when Julian was about 50, is problematic. (1850 US Census, PA, Lancaster Co., Caernarvon Twp., 145/151) ~sta] [To make things more interesting, there is no “Henry Applegate” enumerated in Lanaster Co., PA, in 1820, 1830, or 1830. There is a “William Applegate” household enumerated in each of those censuses in Lancaster County and that is the only Applegate household enmerated in that county in those years. Tiffany (TANARI@prodigy.net) produced a transcript of these census sheets. I have reviewed the original microfilms and believe this is accurate: Applegate, William State: Pennsylvania Year: 1820 County: Lancaster Roll: M33_106 Township: Earl Page: 217 Image: 125 Transcription of 1820 Listing: William Applegate Males: 0/10 1; 26/45 1; Females: 0/10 2; 26/45 1 Applegate, William State: Pennsylvania Year: 1830 County: Lancaster Roll: M19_153 Township: Cearnarvon Page: 178 Image: 354 Transcription of 1830 Listing: William Applegate Males: 0/5 1; 10/15 1; 40/50 1; Females: 0/5 1; 5/10 2; 10/15 1; 20/30 1 Aplegate, William State: Pennsylvania Year: 1840 County: Lancaster Roll: M704_467 Township: Caernarvon Page: 472 Image: 291 Transcription of 1840 Listing: William Applegate Males: 50/60 1; Females: 5/10 1; 10/15 1; 15/20 1; 40/50 1 Is the “Henry” in the 1850 Census the same person as the “William” in the 1820, 1830, and 1840 Censuses? The age of the head of household (whether Henry or William) seems inconsistent. If Henry is William, then he was abt 28 in 1820; abt 38 in 1830; and abt 48 in 1840. This is based on a reported age of 58 in the 1850 Census for Henry. But this is consistent only with the 1820 Census for William. In 1830, William is 40-50, not 38; and in 1840, William is 50-60, not 48. In addition to the inconsistency of age between William and Henry, there is a problem about the location of Henry in 1850. Caernarvon and Earl townships—where Julian was enumerated in 1850, and William was enumerated in 1820-40 are located in the northeast corner of Lancaster County. Martic Township, where Henry was enumerated in 1850, is located on the other side of the county in the southwest corner. Finally, it seems odd that Henry and Julian, if they were a married couple, would be enumerated in separate households in 1850. Based on this reasoning, I believe “Henry” is not the head of this branch. I believe “William” is the head. Based on the inconsistencies noted above, I reject the idea that William and Henry are a single person named either “William Henry” or “Henry William”. Henry Applegate is some other person, who arrived in Lancaster Co., PA, sometime between 1840 and 1850 from NJ. William, the head of this branch, was born btw 1780 and 1790 and died btw 1840 and 1850.
