JACOBUS LARUE, Henry's father, married on 12 March 1742 in the Acquackanonk Ref. Ch. NJ to REBECCA BERTHOLF, daughter of Crynius Bertholf and Anatie Ryerse. Jacobus was born 1721 in Ramapo; and died in Warwick, Orange Co., NY 1781. Rebecca was baptized 15 Mar. 1724 in the Hackensack Ref. Ch. and died in Warwick, NY, also in 1781. Jacobus Larue appears on the 1775 assessment roll for Orange County NY. A descendant, who uses the old Larue spelling of "Laroe", notes the couple are buried in the Locust Hill Cemetery off route 94 between Warwick and Chester, NY. The descendant also states that the couple died within 24 hours of each other and were buried at the same time. Crynis, brother of Henry, also had moved to Warwick and had two wives; his first was not known, was thought to be RAYNOR, but his second was JOANNA HOWELL; he and his two wives are buried in the Locust Hill Cemetery. He also had ten children.
Henry was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and is listed in the DAR Patriot Index. On October 15, 1834, Henry Larue was a resident of Oneonta, Otsego Co NY when he applied for his pension in the Court of Common Pleas. He stated:
"was born 7 Oct. 1755 in Bergen Co NJ. At age 10 years he moved with his father to Warwick, Orange Co NY; in 1788 he moved to Yonge, Upper Canada. In 1806 he moved to Otsego Co NY and served in the NY Militia under Captain PETER BARTHOLF."
Betsey Emmons Larue applied for a widow's pension in the same court on 14 March 1855, at age 81, at which time she was a resident of Oneonta, Otsego Co NY.

NOTES on ALEXANDER CAMPBELL and CHRISTINE BROWN, parents of Christie Ann Campbell who married James R. Larue. Alexander and Christine Brown Campbell were natives of Scotland and at one time Alexander was a man of considerable wealth in Glasgow. When they emigrated, Alexander settled his family on a farm in Oneida County and then moved to the Town of Pamelia in Jefferson County where he operated a farm until his premature death in 1850. The couple had eleven children. After Alexander died, his wife moved to the Town of Alexandria where she lived for several years on the farm later owned in 1916 by WILLIAM ALLEN. In 1850, Christie Ann was living with her mother in Alexandria NY with two sisters and one brother, her father having died in Pamelia. When Christie died in 1927, she was the last surviving child of the eleven born to the family. Her brother, ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, was the founder of a dry goods business in Philadelphia NY. Another brother was EBENEZER CAMPBELL who was for 25 years a customs collector in Alexandria Bay. A third brother was JAMES B. CAMPBELL who was in the Civil War. A fourth brother was PETER CAMPBELL who died in 1915 and his daughter MAUDE CAMPBELL married JOSEPH BAUMERT of Antwerp N. Other siblings were: MRS. JANE FLINT of Plessis NY who died about 1904 in Petoskey, MI; MRS. EMILY PIERCE of Alexandria who died at her daughter's home, MRS. JOSEPH HELMER about 1906 in Plessis. AGNES CAMBPELL unknown.
Christie's son, Judge Larue, died three years after her. He married NELLIE L. YORK, who was the daughter of WILLIAM AND MARGRET (MOSHER) YORK, on 5 July 1892. Their son, FRANK YORK LARUE , born 1905, died 1985, became a lawyer and judge. Frank Y. Larue had a son, Frank Y. Larue Jr who died in1980 with no heirs to the Larue estate.

Another note of importance regarding Henry Larue; the question is raised as to how Henry could be a patriot and still have received land in Canada after the Revolutionary War, as did at least four of his children. To answer the question, I sent to the Canadian Archives for Henry's petition. Part of the petition was dated January 1793. Henry had made application previously to the Canadian Landboard and received a grant for Lot 27 of the 4th Concession in Elizabethtown (now Brockville) , which was taken up previous to his application by someone else. So, it seems that Henry had performed a settlement duty on the north half of Lot No. 22 in the First Concession in the Township of Yonge, Ontario, Canada and was asking the Landboard to confirm his request. Henry would have arrived in Canada in 1788, per his American pension application information. Once in Canada his settlement duty required him to build a dwelling and clear land, which he apparently did in conforming to the settlement requirements. There were several American Revolutionary War veterans who did move to Canada after the war and performed settlement duty, but their loyalty was not in question.
