Paul Eldredge Smith Genealogy:
Thomas Applegate, born Abt 1632; died 1699. He married (1)_______, born ; died ; (2) to Joanna Gibbons, born ; died after 1699, daughter of Richard Gibbons, who was one of the twelve patentees of Monmouth County, New Jersey. He apparently moved to New Jersey sometime in the 1660's as his cattle mark was recorded in the town book of Middletown on Jan 4, 1668. On Mar. 8, 1674, Thomas petitioned along with his brother, Bartholomew for land in the Neversink. On Apr 21, 1676, John Fenwick gave a deed to Thomas Applegate, weaver, of New Shrewsberry, New Jersey for 600 acres in Fenwick's Colony. There was a second deed on Sept 20, 1677 to Thomas Applegate of the Falls in New Shrewsberry in New Jersey, weaver, of 480 acres in the allotment of Cohanzick along the Marsh, part of Edward Boarnes 2000 acres. On Oct. 19, 1677, he secured by a quit-claim deed, two hundred and forty acres of upland and meadow in Shrewsbury Twp., Monmouth County, New Jersey. There are records that he served on jury duty in Middlesex County, New Jersey. On Feb. 14, 1679, Thomas Applegate along with 12 others obtained a charter to hunt whales.

He made his will on Feb 1, 1698 and it was proved on Mar 29, 1699; his death must have occurred between these dates, probably in Feb 1699. His wife, Joanna and her father, Richard Gibbons, were the executors of his estate.

"Thomas Applegate and family were also members of the Gravesend colony at that time, whose descendants subsequently married some of the descendants of Walter Wall in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Early in 1665, Walter Wall with a number of friends of Gravesend and a small colony from Rhode Island removed to "East Jersey", now New Jersey, where they obtained a patent from Gov Nicholls under date of April 8, 1665, for a large body of land covering the resent (recent) county of Monmouth and part of Middlesex County. This led to the establishment of the town of Middletown and Shrewsbury".
