Note on Marriage
In the 1851 census, Eliza appears with her four children in Ontario. Her husband is not listed, and it says that she "has land".
In the 1881 census, she was widowed and still living in Fitzroy, Ontario with her son James, his wife and child.
==============================
Daniel Teevan emigrated to Canada in 1835 with his wife Elizabeth Newman both from County Cavan. They settled a farm in Fitzroy Township approximately 40 kms west of the City of Ottawa.
They had five children and unfortunately Daniel died in 1848 at age 35, leaving Elizabeth a widow with five very young children. However, Elizabeth survived, managed to keep the farm, raised the children and lived a long life passing away in 1886 at the age of 82. They are both buried, along with three other generations, in St. Michael’s RC Cemetery in the small village of Fitzroy Harbour.
Note on Husband: Daniel Teevens
According to Ron Lee:
Daniel and Elizabeth were accompanied to Fitzroy by a John Teevens.
J. Daniel Teevens and Elizabeth (Newman) lived on the next farm to Patrick Teevens (s/o James T. and Mary Rowen) and his wife Ann Hughes.
The birth of John Daniel -- and many others in this family -- are mentioned in a book called Beyond Our Memory.

TEEVENS
The Teevens family has left a number of connections through their marriages to other families in the parish. The original settler of that name was Daniel Teevens, Lot 11, Con 12, Fitzroy. He and his wife Elizabeth Newman (b. 1813) had five children: Daniel James, Mary, John, Ann and Patrick.
Daniel James Teevens was first married in 1868 to Ann O'Neill: one of their children was a third Daniel Teevens. Daniel James' second wife, Mary Sheridan, died in childbirth in 1893. Daniel James' sister, Mary (d. 1913) was first Mrs. James O'Neill, by whom she had four children, and, after his death, Mrs. John Sherlock, with whom she had a further seven children. Her brother John married Mary Ellen O'Neill in 1874, while sister Anne became Mrs. Edmund Newton and Patrick, youngest of the family married Mary Louman.
