     Deborah Lothrop was born on 9 January 1716/17.2 She married as her third husband Israel Putnam, son of Joseph Putnam and Elizabeth Porter, on 3 June 1767.1 She died on 14 October 1777 at her husband Israel's army headquarters at Fiskkill on the Hudson, Dutchess Co., New York, at age 60.1 She was buried "(probably) in Col. Beverly Robinson's family vault at the Highlands of the Hudson in the Episcopal Church Cemetery."3,4
     A 1904 New York Times article about the search for her grave indicates that she may have been buried alive. Quoting J. C. L. Hamilton, it says "Her remains were secretly - and when discovered indicated prematurely - buried, for they were lying face downward. Her hair had grown to an unusual length."5

  4. [S3346] This is now St. Philip's Church in the Highlands in Garrison, Putnam Co., New York. In 1770 St. Peter's Church in Peekskill, New York, was established under a charter from England's King George. Beverly Robinson and Charles Moore were wardens of the church, and set up a parish about eight miles to the north, which became St. Philip's Church.
         Beverly Robinson originally tried to remain neutral during the Revolution, but in 1777 created the Loyal American Regiment, was commissioned as a colonel, and fought on the side of the British. In 1779 his family's property was seized by New York, and after the war he and some of his family moved to England.
