Lucinda/Lucy Nevers was born in New Brunswick in 1806. Her parents were part of the wagon train bringing the Nevers family to Blenheim. It is quite possible that Lucy and Isaac grew up as neighbors. Lucy was of French origin and was tall and slim with dark hair. The Nevers family were French Huegenots. She was very adept with her hands and was good at rhyming. Through her thrifty ways the family managed to eke out a living without much help from her husband. After Isaac died Lucy lived wih their son Moses and his family until they moved to Michigan. Then she lived with Samuel and his family in Hawtrey until her death in 1892. She rests beside her husband in Springville Cemetery.
