Biography

At Court on 26 September 1699, in York County, Virginia, the orphans of Richard Appling, deceased, by the name of Richard, Thomas, and Joyce were committed to the custody and service of Robert Reade to perform such lawfull service and commands as he shall require of them."[1]

On 24 January 1701 [O.S.], the children were returned to their mother. "Whereas the Children of Richard Applin bound in Court to Mr. Robert Read which he hath returned again to their Mother who personally in Court acknowledged Shee fully Discharges Mr. Robert Read of ye same."[2]

Thomas removed to King and Queen County, Virginia, before 1719 when his land there is mentioned in a land grant boundary description.

On 11 July 1719, William Hall, late of Gloucester County, Virginia, of King and Queen County, Virginia, was granted 1,080 acres, part in King and Queen County, Virginia, and part in Essex County, Virginia, beginning at Joseph Lankford's stooping maple standing on the west side of Tuckahoe Swamp, just above the mouth of a small branch, … to the lower two corner white oaks of that land the said Hall sold to John Smith, Thomas Aplin, and John Smith on the east side the said swamp, …[3]

In March 1726, he is involved in another William Hall land transaction.

Know all men by those presents that I Susanna Hall of King and Queen County do put place and appoint for me and in my stead my well beloved friend Thomas Appling to be my Lawful Attorny to acknowledge to George Twyman my right of Dowery of one hundred acres of Land the deeds bearing date with these presents as witness my hand and seal this 15th day of March 1725:6. Wit: Corban Hall, George Twyman, Elisha Estes. Ack: Susanna Hall. Admitted to record at Court held for Essex County on 15 March 1725.[4]

Wit: Elisha Estes, Thomas Appling, Robert Sharman. Ack: William Hall. Admitted to record at Court held for Essex County on 15 March 1725.[4]
Also the same day [15 March 1725/6], came into Court Susanna Hall wife of the aforenamed William Hall by Thomas Appling her Attorny and relinquished her right of Dower (?) to the land conveyed by her husband Will'm Hall aforesaid to George Twyman which on his motion is admitted to Record.[4]
Elisha Estes, witness to the Power of Attorney and the two indentures, later witnessed Thomas Appling's Will in Amelia County, Virginia, and was bondsman for Mary Appling, Thomas' widow, to administer Thomas' estate.

Thomas removed to Amelia County, Virginia, after 17 June 1742.

On 17 June 1742 and 18 June 1742, two Indentures were made between John Benson of Amelia County, Virginia, and Thomas Applin of King and Queen County, Virginia, for £0.5.0 and £20.0.0, 171 acres, in Amelia County, on the lower side of Wolfs Creek adjoining to William Hudson line.

Research Notes

Birth Date

His birth date of about 1687 appears to be an estimate based on his brother Richard's birth date of 18 August 1685, and his sister Joyce's birth date (estimate of about 1686). Spratlin-29 19:34, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Baptism

  • Thomas' baptism does not appear in Bell's Charles Parish: York Country, Virginia, History and Registers, Births 1648–1789, Deaths 1665–1787.[10] However, a brother (presuming the attached parents are correct) is listed:
Applin, Richard, son of Richard by Margarett, b. Aug. 18, 1685.

First Marriage

  • Attached source[8] also says:
He married first Ann Jennings, b. abt. 1690 Amelia Co, VA, m. abt. 1706 Prince Edward Co, VA, d. abt. 1706 Prince Edward Co, VA.
Thomas then moved to King & Queen Co, VA, sometime before 1718, then about 1742 moved with his son Richard to Amelia Co, VA.

Second Marriage

How do we know that the Appling husband of Mary Clemmons was named Thomas? Spratlin-29 23:16, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Lawful Heirs of Son Thomas

  • Son of Thomas Appling and Mary Clemmons, Thomas Appling, died intestate in Granville County, North Carolina in 1816.
    • A Petition for Division of Land was filed in his estate. A partial transcript of that petition has been added to the profile of Mary Clemmons. This probate contains extensive information regarding lawful heirs of Thomas and Mary's son, Thomas.

I saw the note about Thomas father, Richard Appling possible death in England. Richard Appling was the fifth Richard Appling and immigrated to Virginia from England. From: Dorset, England, Church of England Baptism, Marriages and Burials, 1583-1812 . Richard V was the one who immigrated.

Thank you, Sandra. I removed the entire Notes section of the bio, where it questioned Thomas being an immigrant based on the errant statement about his father.
