Notes	XN2 James C. Applegate, born 1829 in LA, died 7 Jan 1863 in Houston TX of Rubella . (1850 Census Shelby Co., TX-K Terry-In “1850” he was living with his mother in “Shelby Co., TX.” And they were living next to “James Harvey and Caroline Applegate Thomas”.—ED) He married 15 (Marriages/Panola County TX-K Terry-“16”—ED) Mar 1857 (Marriages/Panola Co., TX-K Terry-“1853”—ED) in Panola TX, Mary Wilkinson (Marriages/Panola Co., TX-K Terry-“Wilkerson”—ED). A James Applegate, age 27, born in TX, was enumerated in the 1860 US Census in Panola Co., TX. Also residing in the household were Mary, age 23, born in TX, and illiterate; John, age 5, born in TX; Matilda, age 3, born in TX; and James, age 1, born in TX. [1860 US Census, TX, Panola Co., p. 129, 867/867]. In spite of the discrepancy in ages and birthplaces between 1850 and 1860 census enumerations, it seems likely this is the same James, based on Shelby and Panola County, TX, property tax records. As discussed above in the entry for his father, J.C. Applegate appears in several property tax rolls in Shelby and Panola Counties in Texas until the apparent death of Mary in about 1854. J.C. continues to appear on Panola County tax rolls after that. In 1855, he was taxed on 4 negroes, 1 horse, and 18 cattle. [1855 Panola Co. (TX) Tax Roll, img 3]. In 1856, he was taxed on 5 negroes, 1 horse, 11 cattle and $70 in miscellaneous property. [1856 Panola Co. (TX) Tax Roll, img. 2]. In 1857, he was taxed on 50 acres, 5 negroes, and 1 horse. [1857 Panola Co. (TX) Tax Roll, img. 3]. The 1858 Panola County tax roll exists only in fragments and I have not located him there. In 1859, J.C. was taxed on 50 acres of land, 5 negroes, 1 horse, and 20 cattle, as well as $75 in miscellaneous property. [1859 Panola Co. (TX) Tax Roll, img. 4]. In 1860, he was taxed on 50 acres of land, 5 negroes, 1 horse, and 12 cattle. [1860 Panola Co. (TX) Tax Roll, img. 5]. He enlisted in the Confederate Army 8 Jul 1862, serving in Company D of the 1st Texas Heavy Artillery. (Voress-“He was listed as absent in the hospital in Houston, during Nov.-Dec. 1862.—ED) On December 30, 1867, F and Mary “Battie” were granted letters of guardianship for John, Matilda and James Applegate, minors. [Panola Co. (TX) Probate Minute Orders, D-1 448]. These children have the same names as those appearing in the household of James in the 1860 US Census, and are presumably his now orphaned children. Mary Battie may be their mother with a new married name. On March 29, 1869, Mary “Beatty” received permission from the probate court to sell land in which her wards had an interest. James and John Applegate are both named as wards in the order; Matilda is not. One of the parcels to be sold was identified in part as land acquired by J.C. Applegate from David Wilkerson. [Panola Co. (TX) Probate Minute Orders, D-1 525-26].
