Notes - In "Pioneer Sketches of Long Point Settlement", there is a paragraph about her and her family. "It is said that Mr. [Samuel] Brown served in the commissariat department of some loyal troops during the war of the Revolution. He was married three times. His third wife, Mrs. Joshua Hoy, nee Phoebe Burdick, had a family of six or seven children by a former marriage, and these children, together with his own, including himself and wife, made a family of twenty-four members. This was the largest family in Walsingham, and was known by the old pioneers as the 'four-and-twenty family.' It is said that the descendants of this family outnumber, in the Province of Ontario, those of any other pioneer family of Norfolk. They are widely scattered throughout the province, and, owing to their inherited love for the Old Flag and the instututions it represents, only a small proportion have traded off their Canada birthrights for messes of Yankee pottage."

She is buried in Nerkirk Cemetery, Norfolk, Ontario.
