Our branch of the Appling family, according to Don C. Holden of Tulsa, originated "...in the northern part of Wales where they were known as the ap Llewelyn family. The 'ap' prefix was the Welsh way of signifying "the son of." The family cam eo the southwest of England at about the time of the Black Death in the mid-14th century...When they arrived in England, they were forced to conform to the English system of surnames. Thus, the spelling of the name changed over the years as Aplyne, Appelyn, Appleing, Apling, Aplin, Applin, Appling, and possibly others. The Appling family in England ... three counties: Somerset, Devon, and Dorset." Our first known ancestor was Richard Applen, born c. 1600 in Dorset County; married Hyster Pytterd on Oct. 11, 1619, in Martock. They had four children, one of whom was also named Richard and was in our direct line, as was the next generation.
I have a little more info if anyone is interested.
