Doritha Ann Appleby/Applebee was born in Westchester County, New York on 22 July, 1800. She was known as Dolly or Dolly Ann in most of the census records, but her full name, Doritha Ann is engraved on her tombstone in Westerlo Rural Cemetery, Westerlo, Albany, New York (per findagrave.) She passed away on 12 August, 1870 (probably in Westerlo, Albany, New York.) [1]
We know how many children she bore only because of her answer to the question in the 1865 New York State Census. I believe that during Dolly's lifetime (at least), ALL of the Sherwoods living in Westerlo were related to each other....pretty closely, too! I think that the Sherwoods living in Westerlo (and perhaps Coeymans, too) were ALL John and Dolly's children and grandchildren. (I also strongly suspect that the Sherwoods who were more distantly related to Dolly's husband, John, had moved away by about 1850.) So, who were all 14 of her children???
I haven't seen any evidence supporting the theory that Dolly's parents were Abraham Appleby/Applebee Sr. and Travis. (Note that this is probably because I haven't had access to any sources that would help to prove or disprove this theory!) So, who were her parents???
