The "History and Genealogy of a Branch of the Weaver Family", by Lucius E. Weaver, Rochester, New York, 1928, says on page 112 that Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter and Anstress (Spink) Weaver, may have been the Elizabeth Weaver, who married in 1769 Robert Phillips in Scituate, Rhode Island. While this was a good guess on the author's part, it was not correct. This Elizabeth Weaver in her widow's Revolutionary War pension file tells us she was the daughter of an Anstress Weaver, and had a son Jonah Hopkins (b. about 1773 in Rutland County, Vermont to a father of the same name, per cemetery records in Clyde, New York) before she married in 1780 Solomon Burlingame in her brother Josiah Weaver's house in the Nine Partners Patent, Dutchess County, New York. At the time of her death she had two living children with families, Jonah Hopkins, Jr. and Edward Burlingame. She was made an inmate of the Wayne County, New York Poor Farm in 1836 and died there 15 April 1837. Perhaps she was buried there or her sons, both living in Wayne County at the time, buried her somewhere else. Her husband Solomon maybe buried in the Lock Berlin Church Cemetery there, where there is a gravestone that is inscribed "S. B. a Soldier of Revolution". Perhaps she is buried near him.
