"History of Bucks county, Pennsylvania, from the discovery of the Delaware to the present time" BY WILLIAM W. H. DAVIS https://archive.org/stream/historyofbucksco03davi/historyofbucksco03davi_djvu.txt
page 180
THE LARUE FAMILY. The LaRue
family is of French origin, the name
being originally Le Roy, and the imme-
diate ancestors of the members of the
family who came to New York province
about 1680 were probably among the
millions of French Huguenots who fled
from their mother country about 1666-
and took refuge in Switzerland and the
Palatinate, many also migrating direct
to America and England. About 1680
Franz, Jacques, and Abraham Le Roy,
probably all, and at least the last two
brothers came from Manheim "In the
Palz" and located in the Province of
New York; Franz at or near the present
site of Albany, New York, where there
was a considerable colony of Huguenots
under the leadership of Lois Du Bois,
otherwise "Louis the Walloon." who had
himself fled from France to Manheim in
1658 and from there to America in 1660;
Jacques, on the Hackensack, in Bergen,
later Essex county, New Jersey; and
Abraham, on Staten Island.
Franz Le Roy married Celia Janse
Damen, and his sons, Jonas and George
went with the Ferrees to the Conestoga
valley, and later located in York and
Lebanon counties. He was also probably the father of Abraham LaRue, who
settled near Mififlinburg, in 1754. though
tradition makes him a brother of Jean
Jacques Le Roy, who was killed by the
Indians in 1755, and his daughter Bar-
bara carried into captivity as related by
her and made part of the state archives.
This Jean Jacques Le Roy came direct
from Switzerland to America in 1750.
Some of the descendants of Franz Le
Roy Germanized the name into "Koenig" and later Anglicized it to "King."
Bergen in his "Early Settlers of Kings County" makes the curious mistake of
supposing that Franz Le Roy's wife
Celia Janse Damen was twice married,
first to Franz Koenig and later to Franz
Le Roy. because his name is given in
the two forms on the Dutch records of
baptisms of his children.
The marriage of Jacques Le Ro3\ at
Bergen Dutch Reformed church, January 2. t68i. to Wybregh Hendricks,
states that he was "of Manheim in the
Palz," as does also that of his sister
Susanna to Thones Hendricks, May 20,
1683, at the same church. This might
mean that he was born at Manheim, or
that he had recently arrived from there;
the common practice with the Dutch
being to give the place of birth, .\bout
the time of his marriage, with other
Huguenots, he helped to organize a
"French Church" at Bergen, but later
affiliated with the Dutch church where
page 181
his six children were baptised. He died
in 1730, leaving ten children, all of whom
seem to have remained in Bergen and
Essex counties, New Jersey, and in New
York.
Abraham La Roe, as both he and his
brother Jacques came later to spell their
name, located on Staten Island where he
was still residing when he made his will
in 1702, though prior to 1712, when it
is first offered for probate, he had re-
moved to the neighborhood of Hopewell,
then Burlington county, later Hunter-
don, and now Mercer county, New Jersey. His will mentions his children, but
not by name. From contemporary records we learn that his sons were: Peter,
Abraham, Daniel, David and Isaac. The
witnesses to the will, William Tillyer,
Francis L'Roe, Louis DuBois, and Will-
iam Grassett, being all either deceased
or removed to such distance that their
testimony could not be obtained, his
will failed of probate and letters of ad-
ministration were granted on June 14,
1712, to his widow Olshe (Alice) who
had been named as executrix and al-
most sole legatee in the will. Olshe,
Alshe, or Aiken, the wife of Abraham
La Roe, was prior to her marriage to
him the widow of Joshua Cresson,
youngest son of Pierre Cresson, a na-
tive of France, who had come to Amer-
ica from Holland, where he had mar-
ried a Dutch Woman, and located on
Long Island. Joshua Cresson was bap-
tised in 1658, and died prior to 1690,
which later date is approximately that of
the marriage of his widow to Abraham
La Roe. The names of Peter, Abraham,
Isaac and David La Rue appear on the
tax lists of Hopewell township, in
1722, and the first and last were
contributors to a fund to purchase a
plantation as a home for the pastor of
Hopewell Presbyterian church in I7,3i-
Abraham died in Hopewell "in the cor-
poration of Trenton" leaving a will dat-
ed February 26, 1747, and proved Feb-
ruary 15, 1749. It mentions his wife
Harmekie, and children; Abraham. Is-
aac, Susannah, wife of Cornelius Slack;
Altie, Catren (Catharine); another
daughter, without giving her name, and
Jacob. It devises his plantation in Hope-
well to his sons. Abraham and Isaac,
jointly at the death or marriage of his
wife. Isaac was yet a minor. These
sons. Abraham. Isaac and Jacob, are
doubtless the three brothers referred
to by Stapleton in his "Memorial of
Huguenots," page 136, as the ancestors
of the southern family of the name of
La Rue; the first and last of whom he
states were "pioneers in Kentucky,
where LaRue county commemorates
their name." If this be true, however,
the date of their removal was consider-
ably later than there given, as Isaac
was still a minor and all were residents
of Hunterdon county at the death of
their father in 1747. "Isaac," he states,
"born in Hunterdon county, New Jer-
sey, in 1712, removed in 1743 to the
Shenandoah valley and established the
Virginia family of the name." David La-
Rue died intestate in Hopewell town-
ship, and letters of administration were
granted on his estate to Abraham La-
Rue, February 18, 1732; nothing is
known of his descendants. The remain-
ing three brothers; Peter, Daniel, and
Isaac LaRue, all settled, at least for a
time, in Bucks county. "Peter La Row,"
of Hopewell in the western division of
New Jersey Yeoman, on December 11,
1738, purchased of Abel Janney 288 acres
in Makefield, and settled thereon, later
purchasing 216 acres adjoining. On May
16, 1749, he conveyed 258 acres, part of
both tracts, to Nicholas Larzelere. the
ancestor of the Bucks county family of
that name, who at that date removed
from Staten Island to Bucks county.
No further record appears in Bucks
county of Peter LaRue. Isaac LaRue
evidently located in Bucks county at
about the same date as his brother Peter.
On October 6, 1743, he married, at Ab-
ington Presbyterian church, Rebeckah
Vansant. daughter of Jacobus Vansant,
of Middletown. (See Vansant Family).
He purchased land in Bensalem in 174S,
and died there about 1760, leaving chil-
dren: Rebecca, who married James Van
Arsdalen; Abraham, Isaac and David,
all of whom left descendants.
Daniel LaRue, with whose descend-
ants this narrative is chiefly interested,
was without doubt a son of Abraham
and Alshe (Alice) Cresson LaRoe, or
Le Roy. of Staten Island, later of Hope-
well, New Jersey. He was born on
Staten Island in the year 1697, and was
reared at Hopewell, where, as before
stated he contributed to the support of
Hopewell Presbyterian church in 1722.
On June 15, 1751, the executors of Mark
Watson, convey to "Daniel La Roe. of
Hunterdon county. Province of West
Jersey." 300 acres in Fall.s township,
Bucks county. Pennsylvania, and on
January 26, 1763. John Plumley conveys
to "Daniel La Roc. of Falls township,
Bucks county" 200 acres in Middletown
township. He died in Middletown town-
ship. February i. I79S. at the age of
ninety-eight years, and is buried in the
old Presbyterian burying ground in
Bensalem. ' His wife was Ann Praul.
who died October 23, 1776, at the age of
sixty-two years, and is buried in the
same cemetery. The will of "Daniel
Larrew, the elder, of IMiddletown town-
ship, dated March 19, 1786, and proven
February 16. 1795. devised to son Abra-
ham, five pds. "he already having had his

WILLIAM H. LA RUE. deceased,
who throughout his entire life followed
farming, was born in New Jersey, Feb-
ruary 19. 1823, his parents being Uriah

ly: Asa, whose wife's name was Rachel;
Hackett; William H.; Jonathan, who
married Miss Kiphart; Calvin, who mar-
ried Miss Ruth Tice; and Rebecca, who

William H. LaRue was reared in
Huntington county, N.ew Jersey, pur-
suing his education in its public schools.
A portion of his boyhood was spent in

At an early age he engaged in farming
and followed that vocation throughout

twice, his first union being with Jane
Parks, by whom he had three children:
George H.. who married Mary Moore;
Susanna; and Elizabeth, who became
the wife of Nathaniel Briton. For his
second wife Mr. LaRue chose Margaret

back to Mrs. Mary Thompson, who
came to this coimtry with her four sons:
John, Hugh, William and Robert. Of
this family John settled in Wrisrhtp-
town. making his home near Chain
Bridge, in Northampton township. His
house, an old hiproofed one. is still
