![]() This bible belonged to William Applegate, son of John & Elizabeth (Trafford) Applegate. He was born in 1818 at Blue Ridge, Kentucky and died February 27, 1886 in Delaware County, Indiana. William married Lavinia Slater May 12, 1844 in Holt County, Missouri. William & Lavinia Applegate had eight children. Almira, Angeline, Louis, Alameda, Riley, Mary, Lementine and Eliza. I believe the bible was passed down to their youngest daughter Eliza Applegate Gibson. Eliza out lived all of her siblings and both of her daughters. At this time I do not know what happened to the bible after Eliza Applegate Gibson died in 1952. The last entry was for her daughter Bessie Gibson Haisley who died in 1951. The Applegate Bible was rescued from a flea market in Eaton, Ohio by Pat & Connie Taylor. Pat Taylor is a Civil War Living History Lecturer and uses authentic items for his presentations. He found the bible and used it for a presentation at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Connie Taylor noticed the hand written dates in the bible and started searching Rootsweb, in an effort to return the bible to a descendant of William, which led her to my family tree and to me. Thanks to Pat & Connie's kindness, the Applegate Bible is now in my possession. William & Lavinia Applegate's daughter, Mary Alice Applegate Brown, was my Great Great Grandmother.
