A pension application was approved for the widow and children of Jabez Esgate of New York who was a Sergeant. The pension of $4 per month was to commence September 28, 1812. In the remarks for this pension is a note stating the widow of Jabez was remarried on September 19, 1813.

Jabez served in The War of 1812 with The 18th Regiment (Dobbins), New York Militia.
-
Death date (although 1 Dec 1812 is also given as death date.) Also gives information on both marriages for widow, Ruth PIXLEY. Jabez enlisted 29 Jun 1812, in Captain Josiah Morehouse's Co of Detached Militia, State of NY. Also served in Captain Caleb Herington's Co of Detached Militia, State of NY.
-
Ruth received half pay pension of $47.06 on 4 Jun 1817.
-
Ruth's second marriage date from widow's pension file; Ruth and second husband living Bristol, Ontario Co, NY on 8 May 1817. Ruth signed with X. Following statement included in file: "I Abigail Simmons do solemonenly declare and sware that I saw Ruth STILWELL married to Jabesh ESGATE on 26 Mar 1799, so help me God." Signed with X. This was sworn to 18 Oct 1816 before Seth Hathaway, Justice of Peace.

Following the death of Jabish Isgate of Penfield, NY, his children Patten, Daniel, Sally and Betsey were placed under the guardianship of a Daniel Stillwater (or Stillwell).

-
Note: An over 45 Daniel Stillwel appears on the 1810 census near the Isgate family (Francis, William and Jabez). My hunch is he could be the father of Jabez's wife. In that census Mr. Stillwel is shown by himself.
Other Stillwels on the 1810 Ontario Co., New York census include;
Bishop, Elisha, and James.
-
It is worth noting that in the reference quoted above Jabish and his children were ascribed the surname Isgate.
