"Thomas Applegate and family were also members of the Gravesend colony at that time, whose descendants subsequently married some of the descendants of Walter Wall in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Early in 1665, Walter Wall with a number of friends of Gravesend and a small colony from Rhode Island removed to "East Jersey", now New Jersey, where they obtained a patent from Gov Nicholls under date of April 8, 1665, for a large body of land covering the resent (recent) county of Monmouth and part of Middlesex County. This led to the establishment of the town of Middletown and Shrewsbury".
