His widow tried to claim a pension for his service in the War of 1812. It was denied. But as part of the application there is a certified statement that an old family Bible was examined and the following entries were copied:

• Marriage Abigail Raynor born March 20 1789 Married to Daniel Reeve Feby 2 1808
• Death Daniel Reeve died Feby 20th 1859 - aged 76 yrs 6 months 10 days

Note that this date of marriage is one day earlier than when the Mattituck Pres records state he was married, on the 3rd.
