APPRECIATES IN MONMOUTH COUNTY
1t seems rs soon as the Applegates
became established in Monmouth
County they took active and impor-
tant part in the disorders Of East Jer-
sey.
In 1749, March %, Richard Salter
was appointed by Governor Belcher at
Burlington, one of the Judges Of the
County Of Monmouth and the King
appointed him one Of the Council OF
New Jersey in the room Of John Ham
ilton, deceased, Dec. Q, 1748, but the
app intmsnt was not read until Oct. 4,
174o, at meeting of the Council held
at Perth Amboy.
1850, on March Z, in a petition to the
council Of Fort William Hendricks,
Bartholomew Applegadt, Thomas APP
plegadt and Richard Sadler [Salter their
brother-in-law. requested in substance
that they be allowed to purchase from
the Indians tract Of land situated
about two leagues on this side OF Mid
dletown, near the Nevesings, fit Tor
settlement of 8 or families, and the
permission was granted provided they
should take out patents in form for 1t
and actually settle it in the space OF
two years after having affected the
purchase Of it on pain of forfeiture.
The wife of Thomas Apologize was
daughter Of Richard Gibbons, one OF
the twelve patentees of Monmouth
County. Gibbons was supposed to
have been VIVA vast then termed
Quaker Baptist. The Quaker Baptists
rejected infant baptism and didn't be-
lieve in what Quakers called "A hire
ling ministry" that is preachers who
were paid. Richard Gibbons was in old
writings called Sergeant" and from IT.
it is supposed he was military man.
He was Sheriff on Long Island 1901
1858.
One Of the sons of Thomas went to
Middlessx County and from him de-
scended long line of the family Of APP
plegates in that County.
A grandson, Morde al Apologize,
was Richard Gibbons heir. Thomas
probably died in the early part OF 1899.
His wife survived him. He left sons,
Thomas, John, Daniel, Joseph, Benja-
man and Richard.

Salter was one Of the men who raised
5000 to buy Lord Cornbury q piece OF
plate and this was seized upon by his
enemies to destroy his influence with
the governor.

daughter Of Richard and Sarah Bovine
saIter, previous to TIA, as in that year,

will Of Capt. John Bovine End.
GOV. HAMILTON OPPOSED.
The Applegates took very vigorous
part in their opposition to Governor
Hamilton and Andrew Bovine and
Richard Hartshorne,
April IS, 1877, John Bownd (Bowne)
and Richard Hartshorne residing at
Middletown, both for themselves and
partners gave notice that the land
granted to Bartholomew Applegadt,
Thomas Applegadt and Richard Sad
Ter TSalter] in their petition included IN
their, the petitioners patent, and re-
ouesting therefore, that the said land
may be denied to said Applegadt.
These petitioners were ordered to
show within six weeks from this date
that the Iandis included within their
patent.
1t seems the latter were unable to do
so and the Applegates were left in un-
disputed possession Of the land they
purchased from the Indians.
