Okay. So it is that brothers Daniel and Apollos each had a son named Apollos. Daniel's son Apollos was born in 1804 in Vermont. Later he moved to Alexandria Bay, NY and after that he settled in Marengo,McHenry, Ill. Apollos' son, Apollos, was born in 1797 in Vermont. He , too moved to NY (Orangeville, wyoming, NY) and later to Jackson ,MI.
I have found these two Apolloses to be intertwined and combined and confused with each other many times so be very careful if you are someone researching this line. Confusing, indeed. The only discrepency I found in the information Bob provided is the marriage of Daniel Lincoln to Melissa Waite. I have Apollos (b. 1804/VT/ Daniel's son) as being married to Melissa. I based this on the 1870 Federal Census in which Apollos is found living in Marengo, Ill. It lists his age as 66 and his birthplace as VT. Beneath him is Melissa also aged 66--keeping house. His wife I presume. Listed with them are sons Omar and Samuel.
