Eva Elisabeth Weber was born about 1707, probably in the Palatinate region of what is now Germany. No baptism record has been found for her and so her birth date and place (and her sister Eve Maria's birth information) are not known for sure. Her parents were Jacob Weber (abt.1678-1753) and Anna Elizabeth (who has a profile at Anna Elizabeth (Weber) Weaver (1683-), but her last name at birth was probably not Weber or Weaver). [1]
When she was a small child, she and her family became part of the Kocherthal party, which traveled from London to New York on the ship Globe, leaving London in October, 1708 and arriving in Flushing, New York about December 15, 1708. [2] She is included in the list of Denizations from Queen Anne, dated August 25, in response to Joshua Kocherthal’s petition of 10 May 1708. Pursuant to this letter, the family became subjects of England. They are included in the letter as “Jacob Weber, Anne Elizabeth his wife, Eve Maria and Eve Elizabeth their daughters.” [3][4] [5]
Eva Elizabeth Weber married Pyeter Delangh (1707-1760), in New York, maybe in August, 1724 (primary source needed) and presumably some time before their first known child (daughter Neeltje) was born in New York City on March 14, 1726.[6]
In More Palatine Families, Henry Z. Jones says this about her and her husband:
John D. Baldwin of Cleveland Heights, Ohio brings up an interesting idea regarding this family [the family of Abraham Langer alas le Long (Hunter Lists #432)]. He suggests the possibility that Peter b. 1707, s/o Abraham Langer/Le Long, might be the Peter De Lang who with wife Eva Elisabaetha Weber had ch. Neeltje b. 1725, Catherina b. 1727, and Johannes b. 1730, all bpt. At the N.Y. City Luth. Church. The first record of this Peter known to Mr. Baldwin is a 1737 land warrant in what is now Lancaster Co., Pa., then Bowers, Berks Co. in 1738; he may have gone to Pa. after 1730 and they may have been the Peter and Elizabeth Long who sp. Abraham Long in 1731 (Stoever Chbk.). [7]
According to family history author Thomas A. DeLong:
From early church and land records, we know by August 1724, Pieter DeLong had married Eva Elizabeth Weber, 17 year old daughter of Jacob and Anna Elizabeth Weber. Jacob Weber, age 29, husbandman and vine dresser; his wife, age 24; two young daughters, Anna Maria and Eva, and 51 other inhabitants of the Rhine Valley had left Europe about 1710 upon obtaining a letter of denization from Queen Anne of England. This rudimentary home-steading permit, dated 28 June 1708, gave these Palatines authority to establish a German Lutheran colony on Quassick Creek, Dutchess county, New York. Its leader was the forceful and energetic Rev. Joshua Kocherthal. At Quassick, on the west side of the Hudson, the Weber's held 200 acres of farm land. Jacob Weber, one of the trustees of the Lutheran congregation at Newburgh, settled in new Holland, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, in 1736.[8]
In the 1730's she and her family journeyed from the Hudson Valley to Pennsylvania. By about June 27, 1738, they were in what is now Bowers Station, Maxatawny Township, Berks County (then Oley Township, Philadelphia County), Pennsylvania, the date that Peter warranted 200 acres of land there. [9]
According to her memorial on Findagrave, she died after April, 1770, and no gravestone has been found for her or her husband Peter. [10]
There appears to be some controversy over whether the Pieter DeLong family was originally Huguenot (French) or German Rhine-land because the family "spoke German". But, it was also explained that they could have been Protestant French who fled to the German side of the Rhine-land after the Revocation. [DeLong, p.26]

I'd like to propose a merge of this profile with Weaver-4714, both shown as the wife of Pyeter DeLangh/Peter Long/Peter Lelong/Peter Delong. I think her final LNAB should be Weber, since that was her name on the earliest records for her - in the Denization letter from Queen Anne and on a 1708 list of the Germans to be settled in NY. Happy to clean up the merged profile once/if they're merged, since both profiles have info.
