THE APPLICABLE HOMES ON
LONG ISLAND $50 YEARS AGO
The record of the Applegates wher
they resided on Long Island is interest
ing. They being of the Church Of Eng
land were driven out of the Connectl-
cut plantations, whore they fist set
tied and then found home in Rhode
Island and from thence went to Long
Island.
In 1850, Bartholomew Apologize,
who married Hannah Pat lex OF
Gravesend, with William wilkins, COM
pleted tide mill on Strome Creek, at
or near the site of the present Garrett
sons mill at Gravesend.
Bartholomew Apologize was progress
sive and stannch adherent OF the Eng
lish and their Church. His pernicious-
activity along these lines made him
distrusted by the Hollanders and re-
suited finally in much trouble and dis
Ipute. However he gradually acquired
considerable land from his Dutch
neighbors, thereby mourning their fur
Their enmity and disPleasure. Later ne
was Obliged to sell some of his land TO
/ Glaee Paulu, but retained eight acres
on which he lived and cultivated, and
besides these acres he exchanged with
William Goulding Cater of Middletown,
Monmouth County, N. ~ their four
acre lots. Aug. l. 1867, he purchased OF
Matthew Whitman the farm allotted to
Thomas Mcneil.
On Oct. Q, 1868, according to the His
tory of the State of New York, John
VanCleaf was sent by his New Utre mt
neis hbors to notify Director Stuyves-
ant that about SOS armed English were
in Jamaica and that Bartholomew APP
plegate and others of Gravesend, well
armed had joined them.
These purchases and his aggressive
ness in favor Of the Church OF England
resulted in his persecution by the Hol-
landers in the neighborhood and 1T may
have influenced the Indians to capture
Hannah Applegate and her child aud
hold them as means of obtaining
fav. r and reward from the Dutch, but
wing to public opinion the kidnapping
tufned OUT different from what they
expected.
The capture of Hannah Apologize
opd her child aroused all of the resi-
DENTS of Long Island. She was said 70
have been a beautiful woman ana q
loving wife and COMMUNICATE OF the
ENGLISH church on Long Island Hei
caDture made great commotion thru
ont the Colonies SO that on Nov. 9th
1871 the Governor was pleased to or
der Mr.. Wilkins to pay ten pounds 70.
wards the release of her and her CHILD
"this showeth that Thomas Whitlock
received Of Mr.. Delsvall five pounds 9
the aforesaid SUM of which the salc
THOMAS delivered five pounds to ths
Constable and Overseers Of Graveseno
in red cloth, &c"
This account fails to state the tota
amount Of the ransom.
This occurrence seems to have diS
beartened the Applegates from residing
on Long Island, for on March s, 1904
bartholomew with Thomas Applegate
: the latter then owning large plantation
near Flushing, and their brother-in-law
Richard Sadler (Salter) were given per
mission to purchase land of the In
,dians near the Neversinks in East Jer
aav This permission provoked the con
troversy between the Hartshornes, wh'
laid claim TO the land, which was settlet
Nv the Courts in favor Of the Apple
gates. In, 1855. 200 acres, a part Of thu
tract at the Falls of the Shrewsbury
now linton Falls, was ceded to Govern
Or Lewis Morris for his iron works
Daniel Apologize, Sr., son Of Bar
tholomew Applegate married Rebecc'
Tilton. and when he died Oct. 10, 1903
he made his wife sole heir and execu
trix. The widow, Rebecca Apologize
married July 0, 1901, William Leeds
the benefactor Of Christ Church
Shrewsbury, so it is quite certain tina
some OF the Apologize money and LAM
went to that church, as Leeds WILLIS
J his real estate to it.
