Francis Appleton

Parents: Isaac Appleton & Elizabeth Sawyer

Married: Elizabeth Hubbard

He came to New Ipswich a little before 1770 and settled on the lot next northeast of that of his brother, N. D., 38, where he lived quietly, scarcely entering any public activities, although he enlisted at least once in the Revolutionary service, and was present at the surrender of Burgoyne. But his son also had a part in the contest, so that it is uncertain who is designated by the common name upon the company rolls. Children—born in Ipswich with the exception of the youngest.

Children: Francis, Isaac, John, Mary, Elizabeth, Jesse.
