Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 30-32:
Lamarsh. The well-known family in Mersea Township, County of Essex, bearing the name Lamarsh is of French stock. The name was originally spelled La Marshe, but after the emigration to Canada it gradually came to be written generally Lamarsh.
     The first to come to America was Samuel La Marshe, a native France, who, on reaching manhood located in the Province of Quebec, Canada. Later he removed to Kingston, Ont., and still later to Amherstburg. His last location was Gosfield township, County of Essex, where he died. During the war of 1812 he served in the Bristish army. Of his eight children, several settled in the United States. Among them were: Samuel, who died in Ohio; John, who died in Mersea township; Joseph, who attained the age of ninety-four years, and passed away in Gosfield township; Elizabeth, who married Peter Malott, of Gosfield township; and Rachel.
     John Lamarsh, son of Samuel, the emigrant, was born in Kingston, Ont., and was brought to the County of Essex by his parents in 1801. They located at Fort Malden, now Amherstburg, and later removed to Gosfield township. He, too, played a soldier's part in the war of 1812, and after its close settled in Mersea township, where he drew a tract of 200 acres of the Col. Talbot grant, on Talbot street. This tract was then an unbroken wilderness, but his pioneer spirit was undaunted by the mighty task of preparing a home and clearing a farm there. He built a log house, and resolutely bent his energies to the cultivation of his land, in which he was eminently successful, in time becoming one of the large landholders of the county. Besides his home farm, he also owned a tract of 200 acres where the town of Wheatley is now, half of which is owned by his grandsons. He attained the ripe age of seventy-eight years, and was buried in the Roache cemetery on Talbot street. His education for the day and locality was fair, and he was looked upon as one of the leading men of his township, having been appointed commissioner of the township by the government, and holding other town offices. Politically he was one of the first Liberals in the township, and he was always well posted on current topics. He belonged to the Methodist Church. His wife, Mary Ann Burke, was born in Quebec, a daughter of James Burke, of Ireland, whose wife was a Frenchwoman. Mrs. Lamarsh lived to the age of eighty-one and was buried by the side of her husband. Originally she belonged to the Catholic Church, but she afterward joined the Methodist faith with her husband and children, and she was ever a noble Christian woman, cheerfully bearing the privations of life in the wilderness that she might do her share toward winning a life for her children. To John and Mary Ann Lamarsh were born eleven children, as follows: Ann, deceased, who married Morris Roache, of Mersea township; Elizabeth, deceased, who married Benjamin Quick, of Mersea township; John (2); James, deceased; Mary Jane, who married Matthew Howard, and died in Michigan; Robert, a well-known farmer of Mersea township; Nancy, who married William Roache (now deceased), and makes her home in Mersea township; William, a farmer on part of the homestead; Peter, who also farms on the homestead; Margaret, widow of Alexander Gunn, of Mersea township; and Joseph, deceased.
