Biography

Elizabeth (Eliza) Shier was born Adare County Limerick Ireland. She would have been 23 years old when she immigrated in 1835. Eliza and her husband Robert Bennett had two children. Her husband was born in Ireland and was a painter by trade. Their oldest child Annie was born in 1833, so it appears that Eliza and Robert Bennett may have been married before they left Ireland. She is the the only daughter of Jacob and Ann that did not marry a farmer and remain in Brock Township. Sometime before 1850 they emigrated to new Orleans, and it appears that Robert may have died in the 1850's. Eliza seems to have operated a rooming house in New Orleans. Sometime in the 1870's she moved back to Cannington Brock Township. She died in Brock, and is buried in the North Brock Shiers Cemetery. Lived in New Orleans, later as a widow in Brock. Had 1 son, 1 daughter
