Research notes: James Appleby in 1830 census, had only one child, daughter under 5 years. Don't know why sons, Andrew and John Bell Appleby, were not listed, unless dates incorrect. In 1830 census, Bedford County, Tennessee, listed next to father. In 1840 census, Mooney twp. Polk Co., Missouri, page 150, line 22. Reference: Appleby - Hamilton Bible: Ozark Gene.
Reference: A Polk biography for James, states Nancy (Lane-Bond) Appleby had 8 children. Family records list 15 children by James Appleby's two marriages. Reference: 1860 Census, Orleans, Polk Co. Missouri with 8 children: William Ellen, Malvona, James Matthew, Josephine, Argyle, Margaret and Cynthia. Some confusion over the names Irene M, born ca. 1848 and Malvona and Amanda M. may both, have been the one later referred to as Amanda. This does not account for Susan Emily, born March 1838, this would mean her mother was Cynthia McMurray Appleby. The 1838 date would conflict withher older sister, Eliza Frances, supposedly born 7 months earlier, on 13 August 1837.
Special Note: January 1, 2002: Thomas Vaughan offers help in locating Appleby Cemetery in Polk County, Missouri. "In summer of 2001, I found a small Appleby cemetery with only nine headstones. I could only identify Dr. James Appleby, deceased 21 Feb 1869 and a second stone***S Anthos, son of James Appleby born May 16 1801; died May 10, 1839***. I am pretty sure of names of several others buried there, but unable to confirm by the headstones. I tellyou this because the cemetery was and is hard to find there and is located in some woods, 1/4 mile from the access road, and on some private property owned by Carl Anderson, in Morrisville, Missouri. The Cemetery is located about 1/2 mile SE of the town of Morrisville, MO located in Polk Co. It is really a pretty little Cemetery, even though not kept up. I hope this is of some use for you or other family members. If I can be of any help, please feel free to contact me. Tom Vaughan TVRiver@aol.com
