I descend from Jabez LaRue andSarah (Sara) Laugherty LaRue.Do you have any Laugherty spelling among you Lafferty lines?Sarah had a kinsman named Benjamin and I don't know if he was a father, brother, or kinsman of some other relationship but he lived in the household with Sarah and the Laugherty family of Cape Giardeau, MO when MO was still in Illinois Territory in 1812. Jabez was a spy in the War of 1812 and fought in the Battle of New Orleans and I could never find a record of him or Sarah after that war, but their son, Isaac, was raised by Jabez's brother, John LaRue and wife Clara Hardin.Anything you know about these ancestors of mine will be appreciated.
