Notes	‘Uncle Tom’ appears on the census rolls as Thomas Applegate living with Gertrude [Sr.--the widow of Kenneth] in 1870. 1870 US Census, NJ, Mercer Co., East Windsor Twp., p. 9, 65/65. He was 54, born in NJ, and a dry goods merchant. In 1850, a Thomas Applegate is living in the household of Mary Purdy, very close to Kennith and Gertrude. He was 32, born in NJ, a merchant, and apparently single. 1850 US Census, NJ, Mercer Co., East Windsor Twp., 850/906. Based upon his age, his residence in Hightstown, his occupation as a merchant, and his lifelong bachelorhood, I believe “Uncle Tom” is Thomas 5A1C1H. In a mortgage foreclosure case brought in 1896, “Thomas” was identified as a “nephew” of Mrs. Applegate who “was her agent and took charge of her business”. Ely v. Wilson, 61 N.J. Eq. [16 Dickinson] 94, 98 (1906). The case involved the foreclosure of a mortgage originally taken by Kenneth Applegate and assigned over the decades while the land was sold and subdivided and sold again. The case is exceedingly complex. Thomas was vaguely related to Gertrude wife of Kenneth Applegate. Gertrude’s brother Peter had married Elizabeth Baird, sister of Sarah Baird, the wife of Thomas 5AC1 and mother of Thomas 5AC1H, so she might be considered a sort of ‘aunt by marriage’. ~sta)
