It appears Elizabeth and her husband John Weidman must have split up before her death because she is buried under her maiden name Jeffery. The 1870 census shows them together (ages 38 and 29) along with their daughter Jennie (b. 27 Mar 1867 per Reading Central United Methodist records) and Elizabeth's mother Susan and possibly a sister Emma (age 20). There is a record of a John F. Weidman marrying a Susan Boyer in 1873, so perhaps they divorced and he remarried.
After Elizabeth's death, it seems her family (her mother Susan, sister Emma, brother William, and daughter Jennie) moved to California where they were enumerated in 1880 in San Jose with William as head of household and Susan listed as a widow. At some point, her daughter Jennie married the playwright Frank Bacon, changed her name to Jane Jennie Bacon, and got into acting as Jane Bacon. The state of CA has a death record for Jane Jennie Bacon, born 27 Mar 1867 in PA with maiden name Weidman and mother's maiden name Jeffery. This is most certainly she. Elizabeth's mother Susan Jeffery died in Santa Clara County, CA in 1892 at the age of 91.
