APPLEBY

Benjamin (1766-1851)
�-�Benjamin was a Loyalist from New York, and the son of another Benjamin. (Information from the New Brunswick Provincial Archives & NB Museum).
����Benjamin, who entered the Province of New Brunswick in 1782, was one of the Loyalist Applebys, five of whom (including Benjamin) settled on Lake Washademoak in 1785. He was on the North West, Miramichi, by July 17, 1801, when he purchased Lot 19 at South Esk, and it must have been about this time that he married Jane Rogers, the widow of George Hubbard, because they had five children by 1810, according to a petition which he filed that year. In the petition he gave his age as 35 and stated that he was the guardian of several of his wife's children as well as his own.
�����Benjamin died at the home of his daughter, Mary (Appleby) Vye (wife of John Vye), at Wilson's Point in the Parish of Derby in 1851. His wife, Jane, had died in 1823. Wilson's Point is now a historical site known as "The Enclosure". (The above was written by Florence (Appleby) Traer in 1995.)

Ellen Rebecca (January 28,1875-February 19,1911)
�-� was born in Nelson, Northumberland Co., New Brunswick, Canada, daughter of Mr. John Redman and Jesse Hubbard Appleby, the third of eleven children. She married Thomas Ward Coughlan November 8, 1894, at the residence of John Coughlan in Nelson, NB. Ellen and Thomas had four children: Lillian (1897), Bertha (1899), Evelyn (1903), and John (1905). Ellen died of rheumatic fever in 1917. Ellen Appleby Coughlan was my husband�s grandmother.

Evangeline (April 18, 1885-August, 1966)
�-�was the eighth child of John Redman and Jessie Hubbard Appleby. She married John William Verity in 1913, and they had two sons, John (who died in 1914 at 3 months of age) and Felix Smith Verity, b. 1915. My husband and I met gr-aunt Eva (we knew here as Aunt Evelyn) in the summer of 1953, and found her to be a delightful, if a bit eccentric, woman. She lived in New York City on Riverside Drive, and as I think back now, it surely was filed with priceless antiques that we did not appreciate at the time!

John Redman (1843-1903)
�-� was the father of Ellen Rebecca Appleby Coughlan. He lived in Northumberland Co., New Brunswick, Canada, and was the son of William Henry and Jane Redman Appleby, the sixth of their ten children. He married Jesse Hubbard, daughter of George and Catherine MacTavish Hubbard, in 1868. John is buried in St. John Cemetery, Nelson, NB.
