Notes:
5E8E1 Matthew Rue Applegate
Matthew was born c. 1777 (Voress.) MEA says "not earlier than 1775 and possibly ten years later." Our first firm date is when he inherited the "homestead" of his grandfather upon the death of his father (c. 1833.)
Voress says he was listed in the 1778?80 tax returns of South Amboy with 95 acres; in 1791, he was listed in South Amboy/New Brunswick with 40 acres; in 1793, he was listed as "Nathnl, aged 38. From September, 1791 until 1822, he was listed in New Brunswick, South Ward or South Brunswick with 50 acres. I have been unable to verify these data.
MEA believes Matthew married Catherine Sutfin (Cecily—“Sutphin”—ED) Davison on 27 February, 1817 by Rev. George S. Woodhill. She goes on to speculate that Catherine (Cecily—was born “ca. 1780”—ED) was the daughter of Daniel Davison, an executor of both Matthew's father (Nathaniel) and mother (Jane) wills.
Matthew's death was c. 1838, (Howard—prior to Mar 1839—ED). Prior to it, he may have moved to New York City. (He is listed in NY census, NY CO, 9th ward, NYC, 1820.—ED) In addition, in his brother Elijah’s will of 1835, he is identified as a resident of New York City. His brother also calls him a “builder”. (Will of Elijah Applegate New York (NY) Will Book 74-464 (old 456)). He may have been in business with his brother and Aaron Hendicks as a developer, but I cannot find any NY deeds showing he bought and sold peoperty with them.
Matthew married Catherine Sutfin Davison 27 Feb 1817, First Presbyterian Church, Cranbury, Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:
5E8E3 Elijah Applegate
Information in this paragraph comes from Voress. Elijah was born on some unknown date (Voress & Cecily—“born June 29, 1781”—ED) and married Margaret (Voress & Cecily—“Mary Ann”—ED) Buckolew (Voress & Cecily—“Burkalew”—ED) on some unknown data. His will is dated 17 September, 1835 and proved 27 February, 1836 in New York City. Executors were his wife, brother Matthew Rue and Aaron Hendricks. I believe Voress is in error on several points. A transcription of his will is attached.
Elijah appears to have been in business as a real estate developer/investor with Aaron V. Hendricks as early as 1827. I have copies of the deeds, which are too lenghty to transcibe. The transactions are as follows:
1 Febuary 1827
Elijah Applegate and Aaron V Hendricks (masons of New York City) purchased from Ida R and Caroline Topping of New York for $1,450.00
That certain lot piece of parel of Ground situate lying and being in the Seventh [blank, probably ward] of the City of New York on the Northerly side of Henry Street Bounded Southerly in front by Henry Street on the Easterly side by property belonging to Robert Tillotson on the Westerly side by property belonging to the said Ira Toping and in the rear by property of David Seaman, the said lot being in width in frong and rear ech twenty firv feet and in length each side about one hundre feet be the same more or less. And is part of two lots conveyed to the said Ira Topping by Patrick Sullivan by Deed bearing date the 19th day of September AD 1826 . . . with the privilege of using the easterly Wall of the House adjoing said premises belonging to the [Toppings] for the purpose of letting in the beams of any House they the [purchasers]. . . may build or erect on the above described lot.
1 May 1828
Elijah Applegate (of the City of New York, Mason) purchased at public auction from the estate of Mary Bowers for $2,100.00
43 Essex Street between Hester and Grand.
6 Jan 1833
Elijah Applegate and Aaron V Applegate purchased from Edward N Bibby, physician and Augusta his wife for $5,100.00:
Three lots on Orchard Street near Broome.
7 Feb 1833
Elijah Applegate and Aaron V Hendricks (masons of New York City) purchased from Henry Frost (gentleman of New York City) for $1,550.00
Southeasterly in front by Orchard Street, Northeasterly by lots Number 57, 56, 55 and part of lot 54. Northwesterly by lot 58, and southwesterly by lot 58. Containing in breadth in front and rear twenty five feet and in length on each side eighty feet.
19 Feburay 1835
Elijah Applegate (of New York, builder) buys from Aaron V Hendricks (same) and his wife Eliza for $12,000.00
Aaron Hendrick’s interest in the Orchard Street lots they purchased together in 1833.
17 March 1835
Aaron V. Henricks, builder and Eliza his wife; Elijah Applegate builder and Margaret his wife, sold to Walter Peck, merchant, for $8,250.00
The property Aaron and Elijah had purchased together in 1827. The only difference in the property description is that it ends with “Together with the Building erected on said premises”.
24 September 1835
Aaron Hendricks (of the City of New York, Builder) purchases from Elijah Applegate (same) for $3,250.00:
The Orchard Street property.
I believe the Orchard Street property is now 74 Orchard Street in New York City.
Green (1985) wrote a book on the Buckelew Family. In it, on page 34, is the following:
Gravestones ? Old Van Liew (New Brunswick) Elijah d 4 (Voress & Cecily—“3”—ED) Feb 1836, age 55:7:6; Mary Ann wife of Elijah daughter of David and Mary Ann Buckelew, died 15 Nov. 1851, age 27; Margaret Ann, daughter of Elijah died 7 March 1833, age 2 years
I believe that Elijah is this Elijah.
