Elizabeth Beahan was born on January 17, 1829 in North Hector, Tompkins, New York to Matthew Beahan and Mary (Faussett) Beahan. As a child, her family moved to Flint, Genesee, Michigan, probably in the middle 1840s, to live on a farm about two miles north of Flint. The Buick factory site later reached the farm. It was here in Flint where she would meet her future husband John C. Daly. She was married to John on February 20, 1849 in Flint. They had seven children: Linus (b. November 8, 1850), George Beahan (b. September 30, 1852), Mary Florence (b. July 9, 1854), Julia Helen (b. August 3, 1856), John Charles (b. December 16, 1858), Edward (b. October 11, 1860), and Austin (b. November 5, 1862).
