General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Applegate

---

His birth was in eastern Pennsylvania, where he was reared and educa-ted, and whence, in 1767, he migrated to the west, settling near the Monongahela river, in what is now Forward township, Allegheny County, where he patented a tract of 400 acres of land, which was subsequently entirely improved by the family. He came in the spring of 1767, and, having made a clearing, seeded it to corn, then returned home. When he again came in the fall, however, he found bears had destroyed the entire crop. He was one of the earliest members of the U. P. Church in that sec-tion, their place of worship being known as the "Henderson Meeting House," and he was one of the most active and progressive of the earlier pioneers.
