Benjamin Applegate was in Capt. Thomas Moore’s Rev. War militia company. Thomas Moore and my David were closely associated in Harrison County, KY.

Peter Lanterman was the father of Sophia Lanterman, the second wife of my ggGrandfather John Lindsay (ca 1773-1842)! If I calculate it right, Rachel Lindsay Applegate is Sophia Lanterman Lindsay’s aunt. Thus related to Kenneth Lindsay!
