John Applegate, a soldier of the war of 1812, was born September 23, (1793 in Berkeley County, West Virginia). His father, (Jacob) Henry Applegate, was a soldier in the war of Independence, probably from Virginia. John Applegate entered the service from Kentucky in the year (1813). He served in the infantry, and was at the battle of Lundy’s Lane and other engagements. While home, (between services), he was married to Elizabeth Trafford, of Irish descent, who was born in 1796. He was discharged in 1815. He received land warrant for one hundred and sixty acres of land. This he sold. He had fourteen children, seven sons and five daughters, also two who died infants, unnamed. In the state of Kentucky his business was that of an overseer. He was an old Whig. He removed, first, to Rush County, Indiana, and then the year 1836 to Delaware County. He purchased 160 acres of land now known as the Franklin Fullhart farm, a large part of which he cleared, and upon which he resided until the year 1842. He was the owner, also of 80 acres on the north, and the same upon the east of the home place. He removed to Iowa, remained four years, came back and purchased part of the land he formerly owned. Again sold out and returned to Iowa in 1855, and lost his wife in 1856. He then came back to Delaware county, where he resided until (January 31, 1862), the date of his death. He was buried at the Yorktown cemetery. He was a member of the United Brethren church.
