Hello Margaret,
It was good to hear from you. I have your grandmother in my tree as Alice Amelia Appleby who married Charles Attwood in 1895. That's as far down I can go with descendants of Ann Pluck and John Appleby.
John Appleby is my 3rd great granduncle, the brother of Thomas William Appleby who is my 3rd great grandfather.
John is the son of John Appleby (b. before 29 Jul 1774 in Coventry, Warwick, England; d. 1851 in Iowa). He was married 25 Sep 1795 to Susannah Hanson (b. 1779 in Bethnal Green, London, England). They had six children that I know of: John, Thomas William, William Henry, Susanna, James, and Samuel.
John (b. 1774) is the son of Samuel Appleby (b. 1775 in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England, d. 2 Feb 1845) who married 19 Sep 1773 to Mary Fern (b. Jul 1749). John (1774) is the only child that I know of.
Samuel (1775) is the son of John Appleby (b. bef. 19 Mar 1726 in Ipstones, Staffordhire, England, d. 22 Jan 1805) John married 24 Apr 1755 to Sarah Garland. Samuel (1775) is the only child that I know of.
John (1726) is the son of another John Appleby (b. bef 20 Jan 1704). John married 8 Nov 1726 to Ann(e) Tugby. John (1726) is the only child that I know of.
I can go back from there a few more parental generations with John Appleby & Ann King, William Appleby, Jr. & Anne Simpson, and a William Appleby, Sr. (wife unknown).
If you give me your email address, I could send you a descendancy list from William Sr. on down to my side of the family.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Jim Appleby, sr.
