Neeltje was baptized 17 November 1770 Linlithgo Reformed Church daughter of Wilhelmus Van Steenbergen and Geertje Schermerhoorn, witnessed by Johannes Schermerhoorn and Neeltje Scherp. The English equivalent of the Dutch name Neeltje is Eleanor.

Place of interment before Woodlawn Cemetery is unknown, which didn't exist at her date of death. Eleanor Maxwell was not included in the 1875 survey of the Wisner (also known as Baptist) Cemetery in Elmira with other members of the Maxwell family, but that survey only included those with memorials. The cemetery would have been the likely place of burial. Perhaps no memorial existed and her death date was known and inscribed on the memorial of Thomas Maxwell and Mary Ann Maxwell, which was evidently added sometime after their memorial was created.
