Further notes from Stacey Jones: Frank Thompson wrote: I think this Elisha Applewhite 
may very well have been the son of Robert Applewhite (b. about 1809 and died at the 
hands of Braswell Thomas, a free Negro in Johnston Co., NC Feb 7, 1844). Think we had 
an earlier conversation about him. If so, this family seems prone to a violent end. 
Robert was the son of Elisha, who was the son of John Applewhite of Wayne County. I 
have his name as Elisha Daniel Applewhite (though tombstone omits the Daniel) b 1830 
and died Aug 13 1865. He was married to Sarah Matilda Vail, dau of Benners Vail and 
Susan Alford. They had 4 children: Henry, Thomas, Jesse and George E.L. Applewhite. 
Elisha Daniel Applewhite’s only brother was Bartley Deans Applewhite who married Sara 
Matilda’s sister Mary Ann Vail. Most of this Bartley Deans Applewhite family ended up 
in Bladen Co. and the Wilmington, NC area.
