Jemima Applegate who married Edward Evans, and Catherine Applegate who married Robert Wright. All three daughters were married in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania (the Jersey Settlement)".

"She (Jemima) had four sisters, all of whom married. Two of their husbands were Revolutionary soldiers, John Dye and Robert Wright, and they two and Edward Evans used often to sit together and recount their experiences in the Revolutionary War. Each had served in different places during the war, one at sea and two on land".
