Daryl, Have you tried the 1880 census Marion Co, Iowa ? Ancestry.com images - 1880 to Iowa - to Marion - to "other" - to Dist 124 - to p. 49 Applegate, Richard WM 60 farmer Ky-Ky-Ky " , Rebecca WF 55 wife Oh-MD, NJ " , Eliza J. WF 23 dau Ind-Ky-Oh Phillips , Rebecca WF 67 [ ? ] in law NJ NJ NJ " , Isaac WM 65 [?brother] in law OH- MD - NJ Despite Eliza J's birthplace as Ind, this is a fairly close match for 1870 Campbell Co census where Richard age 56 KY, Rebecca 40 OH and 1 of their children Elizabeth age 14. Only unexplained is brother in law Isaac Phillips -with same birthplaces as for Rebecca Applegate - this would suggest they are siblings. Will take much more research to see if this is the correct Richard/Rebecca. I too am interested in this Applegate family. For a long time I have been tracking the Applegates of Greenup (KY) and Scioto (OH). As you say "theory" is that Richard was son of James Applegate and Charity Norman. AND someone years ago "theorized" that James was the son of My Jacob Applegate. And all this information got on that website "Applegates in America" Once there, those theories magically turned into fact for many novice researchers. Willing to share what records I have found to date- BUT no proof of ancestry. Barbara Applegate Richards "Daryl L.
