MERCER COUNTY.
Thomas Apelgate seems to have figured large- ly in petty slander cases, for which the court im- posed a fine and costs. Some of these cases were indeed amusing. The following is copied from Stiles History of Kings County, vol. I, page 167 : "In 1650 one Nicholas Stillwell brought action against Thomas Apelgate for saying, "he thought if plaintiffs debts were paid he would have little left." As he had nothing to say to the charge the court admonished him and fined him twelve gilders and costs of court." Notwithstanding Thomas Applegate's persecutors he prospered in a worldly way, as he became owner of much land in that vicinity, and the name of his widow, Eliz- abeth, frequently appears in the records of land titles after his decease. The name of the original Thomas ceases to appear in the Long Island rec- ords after 1652. Hence, it may be conjectured safely, that he died between 1652 and 1660. The names Bartholomew, John, Thomas and Hannah Applegate appear in the Long Island records They were probably children and grandchildren of Thomas and Elizabeth Applegate.
About 1674 the Applegates left Gravesend, Long Island. John settled in Fairfield, Connecti- cut, and Bartholomew and Thomas, Jr., in Mon- mouth county, New Jersey, as is seen by numer- ous records and land transfers. In 1674 Bar- tholomew and Thomas Applegate (II) and Rich- ard Sadler, on March 8, petitioned the governor- general at Ft. William Hendrick to be allowed to purchase from the Indians a tract of land "sit- uate about two leagues on this side of Middle Towne, near the Neversink fit for a settlement of 6 or 8 families," which was granted. This was under the Dutch rule, but within a few months the English resumed sway in this part of New Jersey, hence it became necessary to obtain a new warrant from English authority. In 1677 such warrant was granted to Thomas Appelgate. He located on the Raritan Bay, at what is now known as Applegate Landing, probably a part of the same tract he had sought to buy of the In- dians under the Dutch authorities. About the same date his son, Thomas, Jr. (III) had issued to him a warrant, by the proprietors, for one hundred and twenty acres. It is believed that Bartholomew (II) soon after located in Middle- sex county, near Cranbury.
(III) Thomas Applegate, Jr., who settled in Middletown, married Johanna Gibbons, the daughter of the noted Richard Gibbons, one of the patentees for lands at "Sandy Point," ( Sandy
Hook), and on Raritan Bay. October 9, 1678, Gibbons made a bill of sale to one hundred acres of this land to "his son-in-law Thomas Apple- gate." Thomas Applegate died about 1699, leav- ing as his survivors a wife, six sons and a daugh- ter, whose names were: Thomas, John, Daniel, Joseph, Elizabeth, Benjamin and Richard. His will bears date February 1, 1698, naming his wife Johauna as executrix, and bequeathed the old homestead at Applegate Landing to his youngest child, Richard.
(IV) Richard Applegate died near the close of 1732. He held the old homestead and mater- ially increased his realty holdings. His will was dated November 7, 1732, and gave all of his lands to his wife Rebeka, and at her death was to go to his son, William Applegate. The names of his children were: John, Abagall, Elizabeth, Joseph, Hannah, Rebekah, Johannah, William.
The following is a copy of Richard Applegate's will which, owing to its peculiar wording, or- thography and family historical value, is here given :
In the Name of God Amen.

RICHARD APPELGATE (L. S.) her DARKUS X HUGHES. mark.
By virtue of the foregoing will the title of Richard Appelgate's lands became vested at his decease in his son William.
(V) William Appelgate was born October 16, 1726. At the age of sixteen he was bound by written indenture with the consent of his mother Rebeka as an apprentice to one Patrick Jackson, of New York, to be taught "the art, trade and mystery of a joiner and to serve the full term of five and one-half years." It was provided, how- ever, that he should be boarded and at the end of
the apprenticeship he was to be given a "new suit of apparel, broadcloth or drugget," and that he should be taught "writing and ciphering" in the winter nights. He served his full apprentice- ship and then followed his trade in his native state, living upon the old homestead and work- ing the lands devised to him by his father at Bay Shore. Pieces of the furniture made by his own hands are still in possession of his descend- ants. At his death he possessed a large landed estate, and was an uncommonly prosperous man.
He married Elizabeth Ogborn, daughter of Jolin and Mary Ogborn. She was born April 3, 1738, and was married to Mr. Appelgate March 9, 1758. Their children were: I. Mary (called Polly ), born January 5, 1759. 2. Lydia, born October 5, 1760. 3. Richard, born October 10, 1762. 4. Rebecca, born November 14, 1764. 5. Sarahı (called Sally), born February 5, 1767. 6. Rhoda, born September 13, 1769. 7. Elizabeth (called Betsey), born July 25, 1772. 8. Annie, born January 10, 1775. William Appelgate, the father of this family, died October 24, 1776, aged fifty years. He left no will, though possessing a large estate in lands, slaves and personal prop- erty. His wife, Elizabeth (Ogborn) Appelgate, died December 21, 1786, aged forty-eight years.
(VI) Richard Appelgate, only son of William Appelgate, born October 10, 1762, had the re- sponsibility of taking care of his father's estate and seven sisters when he was but fourteen years of age. The war of the Revolution had then begun and to protect his interests from ref- ugees quartered at Sandy Hook was no easy task. At night time they would plunder the country and maltreat and murder its loval inhab- itants. At times the family would be frightened and go to neighbors, while he remained secreted beneath the barn floor or in the nearby swamps with his gun beside him. At the age of fourteen he was enrolled as a soldier of the cause for in- dependence. In 1787 letters of administration were granted upon his father's estate by Gover- nor Livingston, of New Jersey. Richard Appel- gate spent his life on the old homestead, where three generations of his ancestors had lived and died before him. In connection with farm life he carried on a general store in a portion of the homestead house, between 1802 and 1818. He owned a large number of slaves, and among his papers were found the bill of sale for a negro boy called "Jacob," which he sold for "eighty pounds, current money of New York." He died
701

in 1821, aged fifty-nine years, having made a will in 1810, but living longer than it was thought he might, he destroyed its value by cutting his sig- nature from the lengthy document, which is still in existence.
He married Mary Stillwell, daughter of John Stillwell, who lived near Garrets Hill, Middle- town township. The Stillwells had a wonderful history in revolutionary days.
(VII) Joseph Stillwell Appelgate, son of Richard and Mary (Stillwell) Appelgate, born December 5, 1789, died October 17, 1881. He married Ann Bray, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Ogborn) Bray. She was four generations re- moved from Rev. John Bray, from England, who founded the Baptist church known as "Bray's Meeting House.'
John R. Applegate, born April 13, 1766, died August 31, 1840. He owned a farm on Cran- bury Neck, Middlesex county, where his death occurred. His farm was then occupied by his son, Daniel Duncan Applegate, afterward by Alf. Bennett, now deceased, and now owned by a Mr. Scott, who recently purchased it. John R. Applegate married (first) Catherine Wagner, December 31, 1786, who died January 20, 1804. Their children were: Henry, born January II, 1787. Sarah, born September II, 1789, died Oc- tober 2, 1902.

William H. Applegate, second surviving son and third surviving child of William P. and Maria (Kerr) Applegate, was born in Cran- bury, Middlesex county, New Jersey, November 20, 1857. His entire education was obtained in the public schools of his native town, and upon its completion he turned his attention to farming. He was engaged in the cultivation of a farm in Cranbury for a period of three years, then migrated to Jamesburg, in the same county, where he established himself in business as a grocer, and conducted a store there very success- fully for four years. He removed to Lawrence- ville, Mercer county, New Jersey, in 1890, and there opened a store for students' supplies, and in addition to this commenced an express and livery business. His strict attention to the de- tails of these various business enterprises, his energy and unvarying courtesy, have gained for him an enviable reputation in the business circles of the town and its vicinity, and all his under- takings are in most flourishing and satisfactory condition. He takes an intelligent interest in the public affairs of the community, affiliates with the Republican party, and is a member of the Presbyterian church. His fraternal affiliations are with Hopewell Lodge, No. 155, Free and Accepted Masons.
Mr. Applegate married (first) December 15, 1880, Johanna M. Pullen, born February 4, 1858, and had children: William H., Jr., Ada M., married Frank Bosson, and has one child, a daughter, Joie.

Hull- fish, born March 18, 1865, daughter of James and Margaret (Long) Hullfish, and had children: Edith, Elsie, Margaret, Kathleen, Louise K., Leroy, James Clifton. Mary and George E.
GIDEON APPLEGATE, for many years a resident on the Rosedale road, Princeton town- ship, Mercer county, New Jersey, where he is the owner of a well cultivated farm, is descended from a family which was among the earliest and most patriotic of the state. For the genealogy of this family see sketch of George F. Apple- gate, which appears elsewhere in this work.
Gideon Applegate, grandfather of Gideon Applegate, was born on the family homestead, and was a farmer. He married (first) Ann L.
-, and (second) Mary Martin. Among his children was a son Lewis.
Lewis Applegate, son of Gideon Applegate,
was born on the farm in the Rosedale road, and was also a farmer. He married Caroline Clark, and had a son Gideon, of whom later.
Gideon Applegate, son of Lewis and Caroline (Clark) Applegate, was born on the farm in the Rosedale road, on which he is at present resid- ing, February, 1870. He received his education in the public schools of Stony Brook and Prince- ton, and then took up the occupation of farm- ing as his forefathers had done for many genera- tions. His farm consists of one hundred and seventy-five acres, all under the highest state of cultivation and very productive. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, in whose affairs he takes an active and beneficial interest. He married Emma A. Updike, daugh- ter of George and Mary A. (Hartrick) Updike, and they have children: Walter, Bertha, Willard, George, Elmer and Marion.
THEODORE PIERSON, a well known and prosperous farmer on Stockton street, Princeton, Mercer county, New Jersey, whose property is considered one of the best cultivated in this section of the county, is a representative of a family which has been engaged in agricultural pursuits for many generations, more than four generations having been born on the same farm land.
(I) Joseph Pierson, great-grandfather of Theodore Pierson, was born on this land, and spent his life in its cultivation.
(II) Joseph Pierson, son of Joseph Pierson (I), was born on the farm of his father and was also a farmer. He married Catherine
and among their children was a son, Charles. (III) Charles Pierson, son of Joseph (2) and Catherine Pierson, was born on the Pier- son farm, in 1843, died March 12, 1905. He was also a farmer, and owned a farm of one hun- dred and sixteen acres one and one-half miles above Lawrenceville, Mercer county, New Jer- sey. The old barn on the Pierson farm was erected in 1760, and the foundation walls are still (1906) standing. Charles Pierson mar- ried Elizabeth Golding, daughter of Jacob and Mary (Lanning) Golding, and among their chil- dren was: Theodore, see forward.
(IV) Theodore Pierson, son of Charles (3) and Elizabeth (Golding) Pierson, was born on the farm in Lawrenceville, Mercer county, New Jersey, January 29, 1865. He was educated in the public schools of Rosedale, and supplemented

this by assiduous home study and reading, so that he may in truth be called a self educated man. He was still a very young lad when he commenced to assist his father in the cultivation . of the farm of the latter, and thus gained a thor- ough and practical knowledge of the details of farm management. Later he became a farmer on the estate of Lewis J. Applegate, consisting of two hundred acres, whose daughter he sub- sequently married. This estate was afterward purchased by A. D. Russell. He is progressive and enterprising in his ideas, and keeps well abreast of the times in every direction. Polit- ically Mr. Pierson is a stanch Republican.
Mr. Pierson married Mary Applegate, daugh- ter of Lewis J. and Caroline (Clark) Applegate, and sister of Gideon Applegate, whose sketch immediately precedes this. For genealogical history of the Applegate family, see the sketch of George F. Applegate, the second preceding this. Mr. and Mrs. Pierson have two children : May and Elizabeth.
WILLITTS B. FARLEE, now living retired from the cares and responsibilities of an active business life at Trenton Junction, Mercer county, New Jersey, is a descendant of a family which was among the early settlers of this country. The name of Farley is one of the old ones of England and dates back to the time of William the Conqueror. The spelling of the name was originally De Falaise and the successive genera- tions made various changes in it from Williamus de Falaise until it came to Thomas Farley, of Bristol, who married Jane Hungerford, of Castle Farleigh, Somersetshire, which was the meeting place for famous hunting parties in the old Saxon times. The crest of the family is an ante- lope with a short spear piercing the neck, and the motto is: "Virtute duce comita fortuna." Thomas Farley, elder son of Thomas and Jane (Hungerford) Farley, was born in 1602, and emigrated to Virginia with his wife, Jane, and a servant, Nicholas Shotter. They landed at Ascher's Hope, a point of land opposite James- town, February 4, 1624. George and Caleb Farley, grandsons of George of 1639, removed to Bound Brook, New Jersey, where they became influential men, and were trustees of the Ewing Presbyterian church, near Trenton, in 1709. Wil- liam Farley came from Warwickshire, England, in 1640, and landed in Roxbury, Massachusetts, after a time going to Woburn, and making his
home there. He was one of three to build the first Puritan church at Billerica, Massachusetts, and had sons, George and Caleb, who were the trustees mentioned above. His descendants in Massachusetts and other parts of the New England states now number a thousand.
