La Fargue Family in LA in 1819
I am searching for information relating to Alexander LaFargue Sr, born abt. 1819 or 1826 in LA. Parents' names unknown, however the 1900 Federal Census for Mobile Cnty,AL indicates that parents were born in France. Alexander LaFargue Sr. married Mary Robby 7/18/1844 in Mobile Cnty,AL. They had the following children: Alexender Jr., Louisa (my ggrandmother), Adolph, Emma, Joseph, John, and Charles, all born in Mobile Cnty,AL.
Does anyone have any information on this family and it's origins? I have found some indications that there were LaFargues in New Orleans in the 1700s, possibly involved in land transactions in the French Quarter.
Thanks,
Jim Arnett
