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.
