OH Marriage Book D-240], born c1820 in KY; died . They lived in Scioto Co., OH. In 1850, Mary, age 30, birthplace KY was enumerated with Emily, age 11, birthplace KY; J.W., age 7, birthplace KY; and Sarah C, age 5, birthplace KY. [1850 US Census, OH, Scioto Co., Portsmouth, Dist. No. 133, 686/]. Mary remarried to Joseph Sowash in Scioto Co., OH on 27 July 1855. [Scioto Co., OH Marriage Book D, p. 19]. She was enumerated in 1870 with Joseph in Greenup Co., KY. Joseph was 72, born in PA and a farm laborer; Mary A was 55, and born in OH. [1870 US Census, KY, Greenup Co., Precinct 2, p. 34, 281/249].

I cannot locate William and Mary's children in the 1870 Census. However, Mary was enumerated with her second husband living next to her future daughter-in-law, Elnora (Harr) Applegage, who was living in her father Thomas's household. [1870 US Census, supra, 283/251].

By 1880, it appears Joseph had died and Mary was living with her son, James William, in Greenup Co. She was identified as Mary Sowash,age 66, birthplace OH, and the mother of James William Applegate [1880 US Census, KY, Greenup Co., Globe School House, NARA Film 417, p. 57D].

1D3C1A3B James William Applegate, b. Feb 1844 in Kentucky [1850 U.S. Census, OH, Scioto Co., Portsmouth, Dist. No. 133, 686/ (age 7, birthplace KY), 1880 US Census, NARA Film No. T9-0417, page 57 C (age 36, birthplace OH), 1900 US Census, KY, Greenup Co., Mag.

He married on 2 August 1872, at Scioto Co., OH, [Marriage License and Return (Scioto Co, OH) J William Applegate 1872-8-02, Marriages, Vol. 3, p. 365] Elenora Harr, b. 8 Feb 1843 or 1845 [1870 US Census, KY, Greenup Co., Mag.

Death Certificate OH Elnora Applegate 1926-09-26 (8 February 1843)], d. 26 September 1926 at Portsmouth, Scioto Co., OH [Portsmouth Daily Times, September 27, 1926; Death Certificate OH Elnora Applegate, supra]. Both James William and Elnora are buried at Harr Cemetery, Greenup Co., KY. [www.findagrave.com; Memorials Nos. 82328872 & 7524503]

In 1850, James was enumerated with his mother in Scioto Co., OH. I cannot find him in the 1870 Census. In 1880, he was enumerated at Globe School House, Greenup Co., KY. In the household were James William, age 36, birthplace OH; wife Elenora, age 36, birthplace KY; daughter Minnie, age 14, birthplace KY; daughter Nancy E., age 7, birthplace KY; son T. Everett, age 4, birthplace KY; daughter Mary A, age 3, birthplace KY; daughter Mahala, age 4 months; and James's mother Mary Sowash, age 66, birthplace OH. [1880 US Census, supra] I believe Minnie is actually the youngest sister of James's wife Elnora, since her age consistently places her birth about six years before their marriage, and Elnora did have a sister Minnie of approximately the correct age living with her in her father's household in 1870. [1870 US Census, supra].

According to his stone in Harr Cemetery, James served in Co. F, 33rd Ohio Vol. Inf. in the Civil War. [Findagrave Memorial #7524503]

In 1900, James was enumerated in Springville, Greenup Co., KY. He was enumerated as born in 1844 in KY. Also in the household is wife Elnora was enumerated as born in 1845 in KY; daughter Mahala (Applegate) Nicholas, born Feb 1880 in KY, and widowed; grandchild Orfa Nichols, born Mar 1896 in OH; son James F. Applegate, born Oct 1882 in KY; and mother-in-law Nancy Harr, born Jun 1826 in OH. [1900 US Census, supra].

James made his will on 30 Mar 1904. A transcript is attached. He left his wife Nora a life estate in "the home place on the hill", with remainder to Nancy E. Nickel. He left $100 to his son James F. Applegate. He left only $1.00 to his daughter Mahala, by then known as Mahala C. Smith. The will was proven on 5 Dec 1904.

James married Elenora Harr 02 Aug 1872, Portsmouth, Scioto County, Ohio, USA. Elenora (daughter of Thomas Harr and Nancy Gregory) was born Feb 1845, Kentucky, USA; died 26 Sep 1926, Portsmouth, Scioto County, Ohio, USA. [Group Sheet]

1D3C1A3B1 Minerva "Minnie" Applegate, b. Oct 1866 in KY [1880 US Census, NARA Film No. T9-0417, page 57 C (age 14, birthplace KY), Death Certificate OH Minnie Richards 1926-03-02 (Oct 1866, birthplace KY)], d. 2 Mar 1926 at Green Twp., Scioto Co., OH of mitral incompetency [Death Certificat, supra, Portsmouth Daily Times, March 2, 1926 (obituary)]. She was burid in Firebrick Cemetery, Lewis Co., KY [Findagrave Memorial # 83113654]. She married on 12 April 1872 in Scioto Co., OH [Scioto Co. Marriage Book, Vol. 6, p. 70] Jacob Richards, b.____, d. ____.

Based on her age, the date of marriage of James William Applegate and Elnora Harr, and the appearance of a Minnie Harr in the household of Elnora's father Thomas in the 1870 census of approximately the right age, I believe Minnie was actually Elnora's youngest sister, who was adopted either formally or informally by James and Elnora.

Minerva married Jacob Richards Dec 1872, Scioto County, Ohio, USA. [Group Sheet]

Mahala married three times. First, to ____ Nicholas/Nichols sometime before 1896, when her daughter Orfa/Orpha was born. In 1900, she was listed as widowed and living with her parents, so her first husband had died by then. [1900 US Census, supra]. Second, she married Locher Smith sometime before 1902, when her first child of that marriage, Frank Robert Smith, was born. [Findagrave, supra]. She was also identified as Mahala Smith in her father's will in 1904. [Will of J.W. Applegate, Greenup Co., KY, Will Book 9-473]. Based on her receiving only a dollar in the will, her parents may not have approved of this marriage. Locher's name comes from the obituary of her mother in 1926 [Portsmouth Daily Times, September 27, 1926]. Third, she married ____ Kiebler at an unknown date after 1926, the date of her mother's death. She was buried as Mahala C Keibler in the Harr Cemetery, Greenup Co., KY.
