EZEKIEL STEWART OF NEW JERSEY AND KENTUCKY
Ezekiel4 Stewart was born June 20, 1741, in Amboy county, New Jersey. This he stated in his application, Apr. 1, 1832, for a pension [8-31393], while residing in Montgomery county, Kentucky. He had a brother, who was then dead, who was six years older than he. His parents moved when Ezekiel was very young to Gloucester county, N. J., and there he grew up and lived until after the Revolutionary war. He enlisted in the last week of November or the first week in December, 1776, for four months, under Ensign Robert Snell (who was killed at Egg Harbor), 2nd Lieut. Richard Stutman, 1st Lieut. Richard Higby and Capt. Benjamin Weatherby, in Gloucester county. He marched to the Delaware river, where the British had been marching up and down without much opposition, and took part in the attack on Trenton, Dec. 25 or 26, 1776, and the battle at Princeton. He was discharged in April, 1777, and reenhsted toward fall and served two months under 2nd Lieut. Robert Snell, 1st Lieut. Joseph Ingersoll and Capts Samuel Snell and Crcssv—one month under each captain—the first month as a volunteer and the next month as a substitute for William Fox. He was stationed two months as a guard at Haddonfield, and then discharged. About 1792 he emigrated to Montgomery county. Ky., and there continued to reside. Two of his old neighbors, William Barrow and John Craig, could testify as to his war service. He was pensioned $20 a year from Mar. 4, 1831. as a private in the "Virginia" militia. Nothing is said in his pension application about his family, but he probably had one. He died Mar. 25, 1837, aged 95.
