Kendall, MD, San Jose, California, 1905. Submitted by Patti Graman. Married; masonry in all branches, learned on Long Island. Born in Middlesex, New Jersey, July 1, 1791. In 1812 traveled on foot and by stage to Pittsburg. Bough skiff and floated to Cincinnati; bought land near Ebenezer. Intimate with Gen. W. H. Harrision and Judge Symmes. Attended latter's funeral in a keelboat from city to North Bend. Was engergetic, perserving and upright; also very self-reliant. (Those early settlers were mainly from New Jersey and Virginia. ) Not learned, but had unusual judgment. An intimate termed him: "Modest, frank, generous." Two neighbors of nigh same age, John Powwner and Jonathan Markland, differing in politics and religion, but never in altercation over either; more like own brothers. Prior to 1893 every intimate of Judge Symmes had gone. Henry died March 12, 1877, Powner, November 1872. Markland, August 1873. Applegate was made constable in 1835 and served many years; had one child, Ormond. My research has revealed that: Henry and Margaret Applegate actually had 12 children: Silvia, Catharine, Jane, Louis, James, Charles, Israel, Elizabeth, Ormond, Joseph, Ellen and Samuel. I am still working on all of the documentation. --------OHFOOTSTEPS Mailing List--------
