Local couple hosts Appleman family reunion
“Oun is the world’s oldest sur-
name,” a genealogist for the
Appleman family jokes. “Every-
one knows that Adam became the
first apple man in the Garden of
Eden.”
A reunion of the Appleman
family held in Port Aransas July
11 and 12, was limited, however,
to descendants of Taylor Elroy
Appleman and his wife Mary Eli-
zabeth Upson.
Hosted by the sons and daugh-
ters of Doyne and Evelyn Apple-
man of Aransas Pass, this year’s
gathering, the first held in Texas
since the 1950s, was the largest
with more than 125 participating.
Ten states were represented,
the family spokesman said,
adding, “there are more than
2000Appleman households scat-
tered among all 50 states, except
Hawaii. We estimate that some 80
percent of those families can
trace their lineage to a single Ger-
man immigrant, Jonathan Peter

Appleman, who came to America
in 1710.”
The Applemans first came to
the Coastal Bend in 1928 when
Doyne Appleman was hired by
Humble Oil Company in Ing-
leside.
Offspring of Doyne and Evelyn
Appleman now live in Aransas
Pass, Burais Mitchell; Rockport,
Mrs. Frank H. Smith and Stratton
M. Appleman; Corpus Christi,
Leah Gray-Fitzpatrick; Dallas,
Thelma Tumer-Donnell; Glen-
wood, Arkansas, Isa Grant; and
Phoeniz, Arizona, Don
Appleman.
To entertain their relatives
from 10 states the local family
members sponsored a three-day
program of open houses and pic-
nics in Rockport and a dinner
party at the Port Royal Resort on
Mustang Island.
“The unusual thing about the
Applemans is that they keep
track of each other over several
generations, ” Stratton Apple-
man explained. “This group in-
cluded over five generations of
my father’s brothers and chil-
dren. And Dad’s father, Taylor
Appleman, was the seventh gen-
eration of his family in America.
It’s hard to imagine how many
relatives we have.”
For those who immigrated dur-
ing Colonial Days, it is not un-
usual to have 100,000 or more
descendants, Appleman said.
The Taylor Appleman group
has met annually for more than
40 years. A family “round-robin”
letter has been circulating among
the family even longer.
The 1992 reunion had repre-
sentatives from five of the eight
offspring of Taylor and Mary
Appleman, and they travelled
from Virginia, Maryland, Minne-
sota, Michigan, Nebraska, Arkan-
sas, Arizona, Louisiana, Illinois,
and various points throughout
Texas.
Honorary hostess for the fami-
ly reunion was Mrs. Frank H.
Smith of Rockport, the oldest
grandchild for the Taylor Apple-
mans i.
Oldest members of the clan
were 95 year old Stratton Beech
Appleman of Tonkawa, Oklaho-
ma and his 92 year old sister,
Ruth Lischke of Sioux City, Neb-
raska.
