Baptised June 7, 1760 Reformed Church, Montgomery, New York daughter of Hieronimus Weller and Elsie Buchstaber (Bookstaver). Thus, the Bible record is evidently in error.

DIED. In Columbia, on the 24th inst., in the 83d year of her age, Mrs. Anna Maria, relict of the late John McClelland. Nearly six years ago the subject of this brief notice was seriously injured by a fall. Ever after she was confined to her bed and was so helpless as to be unable to sit any of the time. The pain she endured was often extreme; yet during the whole of her protracted illness, she bore her sufferings with patience and exemplary resignation. She was from the early age of fourteen a disciple of Christ and a member of the Presbyterian Church, which by grace she adorned, both in life and in death.
She died in Jesus, and is blessed;
How kind her slumbers are!
From suffering and from sin released,
And freed from every snare.
Far from this world of toil and strife,
She's present with the Lord.
The labors of her mortal life
End in a large reward.
(Democratic Analyzer, Troy, Pennsylvania, Thursday, July 28, 1842).

No memorial stone. The section where several of her children are buried in the cemetery and at the ridge crest, and where a modern memorial was placed in 2019, contains native shale stone bases that appear to have been memorials that have shattered and deteriorated, the portion at ground level still remaining.
