In Progress
The Hashamomoque Appleby Family
This article written by Diane F. Perry for the
Suffolk County Historical Society REGISTER, March, 1977.
| Appleby is not what I would call a Long Island
name, and yet, the Appleby's lived in the Southold-Greenport area of
Long Island for over one hundred years. They are not known to have
been there prior to the American Revolution, and are no longer there
today, at least not in name. There are still Appleby descendants
living on L. I. today, for I, myself, am one, but our line of descent is
through the daughters of the family and the Appleby name is lost.
There are several traditions as to the arrival on our shore of the progenitor of this particular branch of the Appleby's. One interesting tradition states that John Appleby fought with John Paul Jones and that the two landed in Greenport together, but that Jones moved on while Appleby settled in the area. Another says that two Appleby brothers came off the ship in Greenport, but whatever happened to the other brother is not known. The only two common denominators in all the stories are that 1) John Appleby was an Englishman and 2) he made his living from the sea. The only piece of evidence found to date is the record of his marriage in the Records of the First Church of Southold. There it states that John Appleby of Philadelphia married Mahaley Conklin of this place. The couple settled on Pipe's Neck, Hashamomoque ( also spelled Hashamomuck, Arshamomoque, etc.) on land given them by the bride's father. (The parentage of Mahala is yet unproven.) Since the Suffolk County Historical Society recently printed a transcription of two date books owned by Jennie (Appleby) Clark, I thought it likely that our members might like to know more about the family. Thus the idea for this article was born. Much of the information was passed down to me through the family via my mother, Shirley Arlien (Fisher) Perry. Other sources are noted by a letter after the dates: AC - Appleby-Clark Family Record, B - Bible records, C - church records, S-Salmon Records, T-tombstones, V -Vital records or court records. The only source not so indicated is the Tuttle - Tuthill Lines in America by Alva M. Tuttle. (rf. #28).
