Hi Gordy, When I do my genealogy, I always ask them not to send to like rootsweb or anything. one time a man did, and he had the wrong information, and I emailed him, and he got mad at me, so I never sent him anything again, and I told him, where in the heck did he get that stuff, sometimes, people just want to be a big shot or something, and put stuff on the web, and it can be trouble so I know there is a relation because just the name of Applegate is the same word. The information was sent to me, this Applegate boy, was riding the pony express trail for the mail, back in later 1800s, early 1900s, and saw my great aunt, beautiful young girl age 17, and married her soon. The Applegate Trail is well known in California, for keywords, type in Applegate Trail, for California, and see what can come up, I have never done that, but the trail was named after them. I do not recognize the names you gave me, but the surname, has got to be connected. talk to you later Happy Christmas or I say Merry Christmas, thanks Ivy **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)

Ivy, Right now the only Applegate reference that I have of any worth is the Salter Book on the History of Monmouth County. It was written in the 1890's and was researched pretty good. I also have the books on Lakewood, Seaside Park and Toms River. There were so many Applegates with the same names in Ocean County that my grandmother did extensive research when she named my mother and finally named her Vesta. It is a pretty name yet very uuncommon. Was the stuff I sent you of any use? One of our ancestors was in the Rev. and was captured. He was put on an English prison ship in the NY Harbor and he escaped from it. Also, Thomas Applegate moved from Mass to Gravesend, Long Island. He had a farm there and was one of the first settles of that area before moving to NJ, Monmouth Co. There is an Applegate Street in Gravesend. Have you been able to establish your NJ connection?
