Elizabeth married William Ruxton of Foveran, on 1 Jun 1823.
Their first four children were baptised at the Parish of Foveran between July 1826 and Nov 1833, and the parish register entries for all four give his residence as Burnside, a farm located just to the east of the estate of Tillery (where William was likely a tenant farmer or agricultural labourer).
It is believed that William and Elizabeth came to Canada in 1836, where they settled on leased land in the village of Winterborne, Woolwich township in Wellington County. The 1837 census shows their family with two adults and six children, three sons and three daughters.
At least three more children were born in Canada between the year 1838 and 1845.
William was clearly a successful farmer, as at some point around 1848 they moved to a new farm in Winterborne, on the other side of the Grand River.
Some time after 1871 William and Elizabeth moved to Southampton, in Bruce County, most likely to live with one of their married children. They both died there in 1878.
