Angeline Applegate 1st wed Clayton Robins 1823, 2nd wed Col. Samuel C. Dunham 1840, years approximate. There was a 4th child of the Applegate-Robins union, besides those linked below, being Charles who drowned at sea.
-----
Angeline Dunham ~ In the death of this estimable lady is removed one who for several generations has been an ornament to the society of Toms River and its vicinity. Her parent's family headstone stood on what is now the lower section of Cranmoor Manor. Her brothers were the late Esquire Joseph, Moses, Salem, Ebenezer, James and Apollo Applegate. Her sisters were Mrs. Sarah Robinson, Mrs. Amanda James and Mrs. Helen Smalley. The latter has been deceased for a number of years. She was in her 90th year at the time of her death. About 70 years ago she married Clayton Robbins, son of Elisha and Sarah, famous in their time as host and hostess of Robbins' Hotel on the corner of Main and Water Street opposite the Ocean House. Her four children, Maria, Sarah, Charles and Clayton, ex-Sheriff of this county, were born of her first marriage. She survived her two daughters by several years. Maria became the wife of Dr. John Messenger, and Sarah married James Hyer, who resided in the village until his death. Charles was drowned at sea in 1850, and the loss of this sprightly son no doubt occasioned her many of the saddest hours of her life. Her husband dying when her youngest child was an infant, she was left early in life with a family to rear. She made her home with the parents of her deceased husband at the hotel before mentioned. She was a young widow of remarkable beauty, a pleasing endowment which she carried far into her advancing age, and, being gifted with splendid conversational abilities, for many years she was regarded at the belle matron of Toms River. In 1840 she became the wife of Colonel Samuel C. Dunham of cherished memory. Her marriage with this very able gentleman was a most congenial one, and brought much happiness into the home she occupied with her children. They all grew to love and respect their stepfather, and after his death they revered his memory as though he had been the parent of their blood. His advent in this village brought new business life into the community. A new class of vessel building was inaugurated under his patronage, and other enterprises, which had no previous existence, found inception in his mind. He strongly advocated the erecting of the county buildings where they are now located and he maintained the ground he took in their relation against the earnest protest of other parties who were interested in lands elsewhere in the village. Mrs. Dunham survived her second husband by many years. She, without a doubt, added greatly to her longevity by the strict regiment she adhered to for a long time preceding her death. She could not be induced to partake of any kind of nourishment which she regarded as being the least detrimental to her health. This inflexible will power was ever visible in her daily life. She could not be persuaded to countenance a wrong thing, and anyone having an unrighteous project under consideration knew better than to look to her for encouragement. She was highly intelligent, and before her eyesight gave out under the pressure of her age was a faithful reader of the New York daily papers. The loss of her sight did not in the least impair her happy flow of spirits, which always attracted so many warm hearts to her in the bonds of friendship and love. She adhered to the religion of her fathers in connecting her name with the ME Church many years ago, and her faith in the Bible was a firm as her strong character and hope of heaven could make it. She had been known for her purity of character most of the present century, and her name, because of her many virtues, will go down to the future honored and revered by her descendants.

Angeline Dunham ~ Died at her residence on Water Street last Friday, Christmas Day, aged 90 years. She was a lifelong resident of this neighborhood. She was the mother of a family of 10 children, of whom only three survived her; Moses, Mrs. James Robinson and Mrs. William J. James. In early womanhood she married Clayton Robbins, who died in 1835, leaving her with three children. Of these, Mrs. John Messenger, wife of Dr. Messenger, a prominent New York physician, and Mrs. James Hyers having since died, and she leaves behind her only son, ex-Sheriff Clayton Robbins. About the year 1840 she was again married, this time to Colonel Samuel C. Dunham, one of the most influential men in the history of the town of Toms River, who died about 20 years ago. She was of a quiet retiring disposition, but of sterling worth and of strong character. She was converted at a 5 o'clock Christmas morning prayer meeting in the old Methodist meeting house in 1854, and shortly after joined the church, of which she was a consistent member until her death. For a number of years past she has been quite feeble, and the infirmities of age have kept her from participating in anything of a public nature. Funeral services were held in the Methodist Church on Monday last at 1 pm and were largely attended. Reverend R. B. Stephenson preached the funeral sermon, using as his text Revelations 22:20. Messrs. George W. Cowperthwait, A. A. Brant, Britton C. Cook and Samuel T. Frost acted as pallbearers, internment at Riverside Cemetery.
