Notes

John Dey married Mary Applegate (Although this is in dispute by some who claim that more evidence is needed, I include this because the circumstantial evidence is compelling.) Many Dye/Dey researchers state her name as Mary Applegate, based on a family story of the Dyes that Ezekial Dey had an uncle Anthony Applegate, who was killed in his doorway in NJ by Tories." [If true, this would have been Ezekiel's Uncle Anthony Applegate by birth!] No suitable Mary appears in any Applegate research; and hard evidence is lacking for an appropriate Anthony Applegate. More research needed here. Other oral reports state that John Dey & Anthony Applegate married sisters. The Perrine family also has the story about an Anthony Applegate shot in his doorway - father of Thomas Applegate who married Sarah Baird." If the circumstantial evidence is valid, Ezekiel Dye's grandmother was a Perrine. Ezekiel's second wife, Sara Egbert Paul, was related to the same Perrine family.

One researcher has concluded that it seems that Mary Applegate had a brother Anthony and a cousin Anthony. The cousin Anthony married Mary's sister Sarah Applegate. Thus, it appears that Ezekiel's father John Dey and (cousin) Anthony did, in fact, marry sisters - Mary and Sarah Applegate. Their father Thomas Applegate lived to the north of Old Church Farm and their brother Anthony lived to the east.
