. 1636 SEPT 6, "Elisabeth, wife of o. Applegate, was insured to stand with her tongue in a cleft stick, for swearing, railing & reviling" Ref: MBCR 1;177 (?)
. 1640, Thomas Applegate of Weymouth, planter, hired John King of Weymouth, seaman, to be master of Applegate's boat on a voyage both for fishing & for carrying freight. A dispute arose early in 1641 because King had allowed the boat to be overladen. Ref: Lechford 392-93.

. 1664 Dec. 12. Thomas Applegate complained to Governor Nicolls of the injuries & damages he had sustained from the magistrates of Gravesend.
. 1664 Dec. 13. Thomas Applegate, Esq., Pieter Winster, deft. Plaintiff demands from 60 guilders balance of five hundred & 40 guilders for a boat sold to Arien de x defts. predecessor. Deft, says, the plaintiff. spoke to him before the arrival of the English ship. - for payment of 160 guilders, & gave him 2 hats, one of 3 & the other of 2 & a half beavers, an account of 110 guilders. Plaintiff said, that the deft, gave him the hats for 100 guilders. Parties being heard. Burgomasters anti Schepens decree & order the deft, to gx & pay the sum of 50 guilders.
On the judgment, which Thomas Applegate obtained in date 1 Dec. xx against Pieter Winster the President of Burgomasters & Schefiens ordered in fiale, December as follows: The Marslud is ordered to put these in execution with the costs accrued. Minutes of New Amsterdam, Vol 6, pp. 171-172.
. 1650 FEB 14, Thomas Applegate, of Gravesend, was frequently before the court for uncivil behavior. He was consumed for making a disturbance at court, so that the court could not go on with its business.
His greatest problem apparently arose from his claim that "the Governor had one him wrong about the orphan, presumably the child his daughter Helena had with Thomas Farrington, as a result of which he was prosecuted on 8 Jan 1651 for slandering the Governor & some residents of Gravesend. for his claim that the Governor had taken a bribe in the case, Applegate was SENTENCED TO HAVE HIS TONGUE BORED, but after his confession, this sentence was apparently reversed. On 11 Jan 1651 Thomas Applegate /senior was required to post a bond of 500 guilders to ensure his good behavior & on 7 July 1652 this bond was voided. - Ref: Gravesend TR 1:53 -1:59. [& all this are]

APPLEGATE OF MONMOUTH ACCOUNTS
. 1674, Mch. S. Thomas Applegate, Bartholomew Applegate & Richard Sadler, having petitioned to purchase, from the Indians, a tract of land, about 2 "leagues on this side of Middle Towne, near the Xeversings, fit for a settlement of 6 or 7 families," they were granted the said tract, by Governor Colve & his Council, provided that a patent be at once procured & settlement be erected within two 3-ears, but, April following, John Bowne & Richard Hartshorne tiled notice that the grant was an infringement of their patent, upon which the Council ordered them to prove their claim within six months. Before the expiration of this period, the English had again taken possession of the country & it became necessary for Sadler & the Applegate's to apply for a new warrant from those then in power. In conformity with this second request, in 1677, there was issued to Thomas Applegate a warrant for a 240 acre tract of land, to be subsequently located and surveyed, which was done, at Shrewsbury, the same day.
. 1676 Apr. 21. Thomas Applegate, of New Shrewsbury, N. J., weaver, bought of John Fenwick six hundred acres in Fenwick's Colony.
. 1677. Thomas Applegate, of the Falles, in New Shrewsbury, weaver, had 490 acres surveyed for him in the Cohanzick allotment.
. 1677 Oct. 19. He had two hundred and forty acres surveyed for him at Shrewsbury.
. 1675 Oct. 9. Thomas Applegate, Sr., of the Falls, bought of Richard Gibbons, one hundred acres, in Nutswamp, Middletown, "where he doth build his house."
. 167S/9 Feb. 14. Thomas Applegate was one of twelve residents of Monmouth County, who secured a charter for a whale fishing company.
Thomas Applegate married Johanna, daughter of Richard Gibbons, the Monmouth County Patentee, whose estate of I had 100 acres lay in Nutswamp, Middletown.
. 1675, Richard Gibbons gave one hundred acres of this land to Thomas Applegate, but as he does not designate him as a relative, I consider that he had not yet married Johanna, the daughter of the donor. This deduction would make her Thomas Applegate second wife, which I am the more inclined to behave, as Thomas Applegate, in his will, dated 169x, bequeathed the Gibbon's tract, solely, to his 2 youngest children, Benjamin & Richard, who were yet minors and probably his issue by Johanna Gibbons. It was on this site, Nutswamp, I believe that Thomas Applegate died.
. 1695 Feb 1. WILL of Thomas Applegate; proved before Andrew Bowne, John Hance & Peter Tilton, Justices, Mch. 29, 1609, by the witnesses, Richard Hartshorne, John Vaughan, Cornelias Compton & Mary Grover. In it he called himself Thomas Applegate, Sr., of Middletown, sick, etc., & mentioned:
Son, Thomas Applegate, received one shilling.
Son, John Applegate, received one shilling.
Son, Daniel Applegate, received one shilling.
Son, Joseph Applegate, received one shilling.
Daughter, Elizabeth. Land which I had of my father-in-Iaw Richard Gibbons;

Loving wife, Joannah; all his lands save the 100 acres disposed of & all his personal estate, makes her sole executrix.
He signed, Thomas Applegate, his mark. And letters testamentary were issued, May xx, 1609, to the widow, Johanna Applegate.
Sep. 8, 1609, his personal estate was inventoried at 0C3/-1S--00?
