Houze
- The Houzes of Lombardy were blacksmiths and carriage makers. Arthur Covell owned land on the Rideau Ferry road and a sawmill in Lombardy. No doubt his son James and Margaret Houze got to know each other as a result, perhaps because both families attended the Anglican Church in Lombardy at the time, which by the way, was built on Tweedy property (another related family).
