William Applegate Jr. was the Grandfather to THOMAS APPLEGATE, the founder of the Applegate family in America, the name can be traced, with corruptions and variations in its spelling, due to time, cuphony and the carelessness or ignorance of scriveners or recording clerks, from Applegarth and Applegath, (an enclosure for apple trees), to Applegate. The names Appleyard and Applewaite were also applied to persons residing at or owning orchards. And the most ancient form was probably Apeliard, suggesting an early Norman orgin.
Families of these various names were seated in England; one , Applegarth, at Rapley, in Hampshire; another the Apeliard, in Norfolkshire, who had among its earliest and most distinguished members Nicholas de Apelyard, Robert del Apelgath, Jeffrey de Applegarth, whose estate was mentioned in 1199, and John Appleyard, who lived in the time of Richard II, 1377-99, and had a son, Sir Nicholas Apelyard or Apeliard. These families held many estates in Norfolkshire; among them Rainthrop Hall. Mills Manor, Hals Manor. Testerdon Manor, etc.
In Norfolkshire there is found a striking coincidence of family names in the Appleyard family with those of the first Applegates in New Jersey.
Among the lords of Rainthrop Hall and Mills Manor was Bartholomew Apelyard, and in 1419, a branch of the Appleyards came into the possession of Duaton Manor. Will Applegate, in 1481, bequeathed it to his son, Thomas, and named his mother , Elizabeth, and his brothers, John and Bartholomew Applegate. Bartholomew Applegate died in 1492.
The repeated use of the comparatively rare Christian name, Bartholomew, is suggestive, if not substantiative, of a relationship between Thomas Applegate, the Immigrant, and the Norfolkshire family.
In America, the name has also undergone changes. The last half has, occasionally, been lopped off and it has remained simply Appel; and it has been spelled Applegadt and Appleget, as now the case in Middlesex County, NJ; but the Monmouth County family spell it –Applegate.
