Lucinda Allstott was born in Indiana, and has three generations of direct ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War. Johann Martin Altstatt (1699 Germany - 1782 Berks Cty PA) and his wife and sons and wife's parents were the first to arrive in America, in 1729. The early Allstots became British citizens at the Pennsylvania statehouse, now Independence Hall, in Philadelphia, before fighting with George Washington. The gravestone for Johann's wife, Anna Judith Walter, is carved in German and still stands (memorial # 30589053).

Lucinda is one of two known daughters of Jacob Alstott (1786-before 1844) and Anna Barnaby (1804-abt 1870). Her parents were married 1 April 1820 in Harrison, Indiana. Jacob Allstot and family are found on the 1830 census for New Albany, Floyd County IN. Lucinda's death certificate reads that she was a widow and that her father was named Alstott and that her mother was Annie Barnaby, born in New Albany, IN. James Beagle, her son-in-law, gave the information. Lucinda's mother would marry second to William Apple and third to Daniel Lee Willyard.

Lucinda's sister was Mary Danforth Charles (#76935667), whose visit to Lucinda in May 1900 is reported in the local newspaper as the first time the sisters have seen each other in 20 years. Her sister Mary signs an affidavit supporting Lucinda's Mexican War widow pension application at that time, further confirming Lucinda and David's marriage date and place and that it was the only marriage for each of the couple.

Lucinda married David Allen Apple in 6 April 1848 in Paoli, Orange County, Indiana. The pioneering couple had six children, four sons and two daughters: Mary F [marries James Harvey Riley], William James, John Wesley, George Thomas, Catherine Annie Beagle, Charles E.W., and Sarah E. [b 1870, dies before 1880]. A different Sarah, Sarah J. Apple, who was born a few months before their marriage and the same year as their daughter Mary, is with the family on the 1870 census. That second Sarah (1st husband Sweeney, 2nd husband Shyrack) may be Lucinda's half-sister, from her mother's 2nd marriage to William Apple.

David and Lucinda Apple were a pioneering family who moved by covered wagon throughout the Midwest. The longest lived of their children, John Wesley Apple 1852-1938 , will preserve much of the family's history of moves in an interview shortly before his death by the Works Progress Administration. Lucinda and husband and grown children mostly settle around Seligman, Barry County MO, where the sons become successful businessmen. A local newspaper will report on the deaths of each member of the David Allen Apple family over the years, referring to Lucinda as "Grandma Apple".
