Subject: James Appleby

I'm looking for information on my great-grandfather Alexander Appleby born in Bathurst, New Brunswick (Canada) on March 4, 1839 (died in Bathurst May 4, 1909). He was the son of James Appleby and Mary Butler. Little is known of his parents since by the age of 15 he was adopted by a Doucet family. We know that he kept a close contact with a Peter Appleby from the Gaspé coast. Peter was married to Ellen Martin and was believed to have been a Loyalist. Was Peter a cousin or an uncle?

The two names appear in the Muster Roll of Captain Van Allen in the 4th Battalion of the New Jersey Volunteers in 1778. Is it possible that there is a link there.

Family lore said that Alex was of Irish origin but this has never been proven.

Any assistance appreciated.

Charles
