Among the prominent relatives of the Campbell Clan was the Harvey Family. Here is their cottage on Apple Island a few hundred feet northwest of Smoke-Tree Inn. One of the Harvey children and grandaughter of Colin Campbell, Mrs. Neil Bentley, still maintains a summer residence on the shores of Orchard Lake.

Mr. Stoddard started the ball rolling for different types of boats. He put the Zenda, a sloop-either a Star-class centerboard boat, or one like it. The large mainsail high up caught the breezes coming over the hills and trees. Tommy Drouillard was skipper. In contrast, Miner Gregg’s sailing canoes, brought in from the Detroit River, were completely outclassed. How the other boats appeared on the lake, I am not sure. From Campbell Harvery Manuscript
