There are two Find-a-Grave Memorials for Elizabeth. Both have photos of the same monument. Both have lists of children and other data, some of which is in conflict. They are in two cemeteries

#46259193 - Ancient Burying Ground, Hartford

#112313690 - Center Cemetery, East Hartford

I believe the FAG for Hartford is wrong as her husband, Deacon Joseph is in the East Hartford cemetery where they lived and where he served the congregation of the Congregational Church.
