5D4C7A2 BR1A2 (5D4C7E2) George W. Applegate, b. Oct., 1843 in Kings Co., NY (1850 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn, 11th Ward, 116/217 [age 7, birthplace NY]; 1870 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn, 11th Ward, p. 8, 22/64 [age 25, birthplace NY]; 1875 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 25, Elec.

Feb 1848 in Kings Co., NY (1875 NY State Census, supra [age 27, birthplace Kings Co., NY]; 1900 US Census, supra [February 1848, birthplace NY]; 1905 NY State Census, supra [age 57, birthplace NY]); d. 10 Mar 1933 (Brooklyn Daily Eagle, March 12, 1933, p. 20).

George followed his father into the construction trade, but seems to have been more on the business side. In the 1870 Census, he was living in his parents’ household in Brooklyn and employed as a clerk. (1870 US Census, supra). By 1875, he had married and moved out on his own. In the 1875 NY state census, George W Applegate, age 32, Brick M [probably manufacturer] was living with his wife Lidy, age 27, and infant son Francis [illegible] (1875 NY State Census, supra). He is listed in the 1878 Brooklyn city directory as a brick manufacturer working at the corner of Yates [sic—should be Gates] and Putnam Ave., with a home at 678 Yates [sic]. (1878 Brooklyn City Directory, p. 16). In 1879-80, he is listed as a clerk, residing at 678 Gates. The directory gives his middle initial as “W”. (1879-8 Lain Brooklyn City Directory). By 1879, he was listed as a contractor, still living at 678 Gates. The directory continues to use the middle initial “W”. (1897 Lain Brooklyn City Directory).

George and his family were enumerated at their house at 678 Gates Ave. in the 1900 US Census. George was born in October, 1843, in NY, and a building contractor. His wife Eliza E. was born in February 1848, in NY and the mother of 5 children—4 still living. Three daughters lived in the household: Fannie, born February 1878, in NY; Aidia or Lidia (very difficult to read), born October 1881, in NY; and Florence, born August 1884, in NY.

George and family were still living in the house at 678 Gates in 1905, when they were enumerated in the NY state census. George W. was 62 and a contractor; wife Eliza was 57; daughters Lida/Ada and Florence were 23 and 20.

Dist. 2, p. 57, 678/469; [age illegible]1900 US Census, NY, Kings Co., Brooklyn, Ward 23, 2/405, Sheet 1B, 10/14 [February 1872, birthplace NY]; 1905 NY State Census, Kings Co., Brooklyn Bor., ED 22, AD 17, Block D, p. 32 [age 35], d. _____; m. abt. 1895 (1900 US Census, supra [married 5 years]) Estelle J. ____, b. June 1876 in NY (1900 US Census, supra [June 1876]; 1905 NY State Census, supra [age 26]); d. _____.

Frank was enumerated in the household of his father George in the 1875 NY State Census. His age is illegible. The next record I can find for him is in the 1900 US Census at 852 Lafayette Ave., in Brooklyn. Frank was born February, 1872, in NY. His wife Estelle was born in March 1896, in NY; and his daughter Evelyn was born in March 1896. (1900 US Census, supra).

The family was enumerated in the 1905 NY State Census living at 350 Stuyvesant in Brooklyn. Frank N was 35, and “with law firm”; wife Estelle J., was 26; daughter Evelyn E., was 8; and daughter Ethel S., was 4.

Daughter Evelyn is the key to linking Frank with his father and sisters. In 1902, Fannie E. Appelgate, daughter of George W. married Theodore Howard Vought. The Brooklyn Eagle reported on the wedding and the entire article is transcribed under Fannie’s entry infra. Of relevance here is one sentence: “Little Miss Evelyn E. Appelgate, the 5 year old niece of the bride, in a white organize dress over pink silk, acted as flower girl.” There is only one candidate for who this Evelyn is—the daughter of Frank. This demonstrates that Frank is the brother of Fannie and thus the son of George W. Appelgate.

I have not been able to locate any further references to Frank or any death information.
