Applebys of Acklington and Morpeth, Northumberland & East Peoria, Illinois
UPDATE
Thanks to information recently provided by Ian, Duncan and James, the Morpeth line of Applebys has been hugely extended to include a whole Appleby dynasty originating in Acklington in Northumberland.
Much of the research into the earliest Applebys in this line is based on Hodgson's 'History of Northumberland' which includes a descendancy chart for John Appleby of Acklington, buried 1696. The earliest Appleby found in Acklington manorial records is Thomas - born around 1615. Many of the occupations of the early Applebys in this area were agricultural - with farmers and millers predominant (along with some innkeepers and a butcher or two).
Some of the Causey Park Applebys moved to the coast near Sunderland in Co Durham for a while, but returned to Northumberland within a couple of generations.

This is such a large line that I have broken the charts into sections:CHART 1 - shows the descendants of Thomas of Acklington, b~1615CHART 2 - shows the descendants of John Appleby (1731 - 1817) of Acklington High Park and his wife Mary - (this is a VERY wide chart, you will need to use your Adobe browser to enlarge it and then scroll across and down to view the whole branch)CHART 3 - shows the descendants of Thomas Appleby (1734 - 1763) and his wife Jane HuntleyCHART 4 - shows the descendants of Robert Appleby (1736 - 1798) of Warkworth and his wife Isabel PottsCHART 5 - shows the descendants of Thomas Appleby (~1723 - 1790) of Acklington and Sturton Grange and his wife Isabella (?Brown)CHART 6 - shows the descendants of Thomas Appleby (bef 1733 - ?1813) of Sunderland and Causey Park
I have also produced a set of pdf files showing printable versions of these charts - please email me if you would like me to forward you copies

Thomas Appleby was born around 1784 in Haystack Hill, near Warkworth - and in the 1851 census he was a farmer at Abbey Mills, Newminster Abbey. His sons were also farmers and millers. We now know that he had two half brothers: John, also born in Haystack Hill in about 1795: in 1851 he was a farmer and miller at Heugh Mill, Bedlington; and William, born about 1792 in Warkworth, who was a joiner and innkeeper of the North Briton Inn in Felton in 1861. (this line is included in chart two)
You can read more about the history of Acklington here (the Appleby pedigree is near the bottom of the page). This site also provides old maps and photos of the area, together with some fascinating history.

I have tracked the descendants of these three down through the censuses - most remained in Northumberland, until the end of the 19th century. But two of Thomas Appleby's grandsons - John and Robert Thompson Appleby, emigrated to America, where they settled in East Peoria in Illinois.
Martin Crane has documented his research into his great uncle Tommy Thompson of East Peoria on his excellent Facebook site Tommy followed his neighbour John Appleby from Shankhouse in Northumberland out to East Peoria in Illinois, where he made his fortune (and also married John Appleby's daughter Hazel - seen above right).
You can also read more about some of the descendants of Thomas and Jane (Huntley) (see chart three) on Duncan's website.
If you know more about this family, do please contact me using this contact page. We are also seeking living male Appleby descendants in both England and USA to participate in our DNA testing programme. The results would help us to discover if the William Appleby who sailed to Philadelphia in the 1770s is connected to the Acklington line of Applebys - we recently discovered that he shared a common ancestor with the line of the Embleton Applebys, who were also from Northumberland).
