     Ichabod was discharged at the end of his three-year committment, in New York CityG, 14 Dec 1783.16
     Ichabod and Margaret moved to western Vermont before 1791. Ichabod appeared on the 1790 Federal Census of Shaftsbury, Bennington Co., VermontG, (which was enumerated 4 Apr 1791, after Vermont became a state in Mar 1791) with a household consisting of one male over 16 (himself), three under 16 (sons Humphrey, Ichabod, and Lyman), and two females (wife Margaret and daughter Rebekah.)17
     Ichabod and Margaret moved to Halifax, in south eastern Vermont, before 1800. Ichabod appeared on the 1800 Federal Census of Halifax, Windham Co., VermontG, with a household consisting of three males under age 10 (sons Lyman and Russell and one unknown), one age 10 to 15 (either Humphrey or Ichabod), and one age 26 to 45 (himself), two females under 10 (daughters Roxana and Laurein), one 10 to 15 (Rebekah), and one 26 to 44 (wife, Margaret.)18
     Ichabod and Margaret moved to northern New York, near the east end of Lake Ontario, apparently about 1805. Ichabod appeared on the 1810 Federal Census of Rutland, Jefferson Co., New YorkG, with a household consisting of two males under age 10 (sons Truman and Salomon), and one age 26 to 44 (himself), two females under 10 (daughters Senah and another), and one age 26 to 45 (wife, Margaret.)19
     He applied for a pension for his service in the Revolutionary War 16 Apr 1818 at Champion, Jefferson Co., New YorkG. His application, as required under the act of 18 Mar 1818, stated that he was "in reduced circumstances, and stands in need of the assistance of his country for support."

His wife was probably the female age 60 to 70 in the same household.24

The Housekeeper's Daughter --- Text Stolen from ReigelRidge.com !! ---


     James's land, located just outside the city limits, was estimated to be worth $40,000 in 1881. For reasons not now known, "it was deemed advisable that the property should not remain" in his hands. He deeded it to another party, who deeded it to Elizabeth. He said later they had an agreement that she would make a will leaving the property to him if he survived her, which she did on 12 Jan 1881.26,27
     In Jul 1881 a daughter was born into the James and Elizabeth's household, by all accounts to their long-time maiden housekeeper, Hannah M. Eder. But for reasons unexplained, the daughter was known as Bessie May Cobb.28,29
     James and Elizabeth appeared on the 1892 State Census of Brighton, Monroe Co., New York G, Their housekeeper, Hannah M. Eder, was listed as living with them, as was Bessie May Cobb, the housekeeper's daughter.30
     Five days before her death, James and Elizabeth had a "misunderstanding," and she called in a lawyer to draft a new will, dated 18 Aug 1894. It left him only a life estate in the property, with the property going to Bessie after his death. Further, the girl was to receive $3,000 in cash.26,27
     His wife died on 23 Aug 1894 in Highland Ave., Brighton, New YorkG.31,32,33
     After Elizabeth's death James filed suit in equity court claiming he was the owner of the property, and her later will was invalid. While the suit was pending Hannah M. Eder had that will presented for probate.26 On winning his suit before the state Supreme Court, James had his wife's earlier will admitted for probate on 4 Mar 1896.34
     James left a will dated 17 Jan 1899, in which he left all his property to Hannah M. Eder, the family's long-time housekeeper.35 He died on 26 Jan 1899 Brighton, New York at age ~74, at his home on Highland Ave.10,11,12 He was buried on 28 Jan 1899 in Mount Hope Cemetery, Rochester, Monroe Co., New YorkG, with his wife.13
     James's will was submitted for probate 20 Mar 1899. His sisters Maria and Frances, contested it, claiming he was not capable of making a will at the time. They presented testimony that he had said he had drunk a pint of whisky a day for 50 years, and had been seen drinking that much for some time.35,36 On 6 Sep 1899 the judge delivered a decision rejecting the contest. In his decision the judge said that evidence of the deceased's drinking merely reiterated well-known fact and was not sufficient to establish incapacity. He also noted that his wife had named the housekeeper as a beneficiary in her will. He ordered the contestants to pay costs.37

Children:
      Children with Elizabeth M. Hammond:

Bessie May Cobb appears in the 1892 New York state census, listed as if the child of James and Elizabeth, though no relationships are recorded in that census. But reports of court proceedings and the 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930 and 1940 censuses all indicate that the child was actually the daughter of their long-time housekeeper Hannah M. Eder. Other sources show James and Elizabeth as having no children.38,39,8

Children:
      Child with Hannah M. Eder:

Several sources indicate Hannah as the mother of Bessie May. The evidence of James as father is indirect, but in the whole, compelling. The child was raised in the Cobb home, with the surname Cobb. No contemporary record found shows who her father was. However her daughter Margaret was claimed to be descended from James or his father.40,41,42
