Elizabeth remarried to Dr. Joseph Dimone Kayser, a French physician. The Kayser-Steenbergen family left for Mercer County, Kentucky, in the spring of 1784. They had one son, Joseph Kayser, Jr. born in 1781. It is not known where or when Elizabeth died or is buried, but Dr. Kayser and son eventually returned to Virginia. They are both buried at Iron Gate, Virginia, along with William Steenbergen, the oldest son of Peter and Elizabeth.
