...
Then up came Martha Bury from Kent to visit William and Jane. She took one look at a Pennsylvania Dutch Loyalist named Joseph [Peter!] Stover and decided that she regarded Lambton more highly than had her father. She and Joseph [Peter] Stover contributed seven sons and three daughters to the pioneer village of Sombra. Their progeny are numerous and scattered. The name is still prominent in Sombra, Sarnia, Marine City and Port Huron. The Roaches of Marine City and the Meno's of St. Clair are also descended from this pioneer couple.
