I have attempted to read through many of the messages ref Larue in this forum. This is what I know:
My earliest know Laroe/Larue ancestor was Abram or Abraham Laroe, b. 1785, NY. Saw references to Jefferson County and Ostego County, NY. In Jefferson County information, a Crynis, Abram and others by name Larue decided to change their name to Laroe.
Abram/Abraham had at least one son: Jacob Laroe, b. 1805, NY. Next we find that Abram has moved with Jacob into the OH region of Miami/Clermont Counties, OH. Some of Jacob and his spouse Dorothy LNU were born in Clinton Co., OH. Descendants of James Laroe and me (descended from Reese Samuel Laroe) have been unable to find the maiden name for Dorothy. Most of the children who were born to Dorothy listed F Absilla Applegate, Jacob's second wife as their mother on their marriage and death certificates.
I would greatly love to discover Dorothy's last name, if Abram/Abraham and his unknown spouse had other children, did Abram go back to Canada for a while after the RV War, when and why did they go to OH, and Abram's parents and their country of origin.
Any assistance in this would be greatly appreciated. Oh and to note that as far as we have researched, Abram and Jacob are not directly related to the Leroux family in NJ that moved to TX. Thanks,
