Her daughter's obit, found in the "Annapolis Maryland Gazette", 15 Jul 1830, p3:
Departed this life, in this city, on Tuesday morning last, in the 28th [sic] year of her age, Mrs Euphemia Anderson, daughter of Mr. Joseph Jefferson, senior, Comedian. Her health had been bad for some years, and at the time of her arrival in this place (a few weeks since), no glimmering of hope remained that medical skill would be able to subdue the disease which had so long preyed upon and enfeebled her naturally delicate constitution. Her light and perfect form, which, when health bloomed upon her cheek and mirth sparkled in her eye, won the admiration of the beholder, now lies mouldering beneath the clod of the valley. Let us trust that the spirit which animated it has winged its way to the mansion of that God, whose mercy is extended to all who devoutly believe and sincerely repent. She died with resignation. Her aged parents, several brothers and sisters, and two young and interesting daughters are left to lament her death.
---Married to William Anderson in Washington, D.C., on 13 Aug 1815. Left two daughters: Elizabeth (born c. 1819) and Jane (8 Feb 1822 - 10 Aug 1909).---

Extract from "Life and Art of Joseph Jefferson" by William Winter, 1894:
EUPHEMIA, her father's favourite daughter, was correct and pleasing on the stage, and a most estimable woman. She married WILLIAM ANDERSON -- described by Ludlow as "a good actor in heavy characters, tragedy villains, and the like,"--but he was an unworthy person, and he embittered her life. Her marriage was a grief to her father. . . . She died in 1831 [sic], leaving two daughters, Jane and Elizabeth: JANE ANDERSON born Feb 1822, and ELIZABETH ANDERSON . . .

This gal's birth year is a bit up for grabs. We know that she married in 1815. You take it from there. I'm okay with young marriages, but that's never been mentioned in a single reminiscence regarding this family. This date would have her 12-13 years old. Nah.
