Elizabeth's death was reported in the Susquehanna Democrat newspaper on Friday Evening, 1 May 1812. It said that she had died "Monday Evening last." That made it four days prior, or 27 Apr 1812. This was borne out by the probate date of her will. The book A History of Wilkes-Barre, by Oscar Jewell Harvey, also reports that date (about the only source that gives a date of death for her).* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Aug 8 2019, 6:12:21 UTC
