Elizabeth Dyment was born Elizabeth Jones in 1803 in Devonshire, England. In 1823, she married John Dyment. They remained in England to have their first five children, and then emigrated to Canada around 1833. The family travelled with John's brother Humphrey and his family, who were also emigrating. The sailng time to Canada was six weeks. Humphrey and his family decided to settle on Prince Edward Island. Elizabeth and her family, the children aged between one and seven years, continued travelling to the township on Ancaster in Upper Canada (now known as Ontario). They were forced to walk the last 40 miles through the forest, as there was no clear path to their parcel of land (Lot 22, Concession One, Township of Ancaster, near the village of Lynden). They cleared the land for farming, and were successful farmers. They had eight more children on the farm, 13 in all. They were pleased with their new home and lives, and often encouraged their relatives in England to emigrate to Canada. They continued living on the farm until 1874, when they moved to Lynden, where John died in 1878. Elizabeth then moved back to the family farm to live with her daughter Eliza and son Edmond. She lived on the farm until her death in 1879.
