Otis May Mather, wrote a book called Six Generations of LaRues and Allied Families in 1921. Anyone researching the LaRue line should get a hard copy this book. It is 99% accurate and where the author says he finds no proven lineage documentation he notates same.

On page 103, the author discusses how Elizabeth's father Isaac LaRue Sr implies in his will that at the time he wrote it Elizabeth had more than two daughters. (See photo on Elizabeth's page for transcription of will of Isaac LaRue Sr).

On page 170 of the book the author described how in 1824 the heirs of Jabez LaRue (Elizabeth (LaRue) LaRue's brother) filed suit and listed Elizabeth's (then deceased) heirs (See photo on Elizabeth's page for transcription of suit). The only daughters listed were Phebe (LaRue) Medley and Sarah (LaRue) McMahon. So if there were any other daughters of Elizabeth, they had to have died prior to 1824 and had no descendants.

On page 108 of the book the author discusses "entries in an old family Bible in possession of Mr. Thomas J. LaRue." Mather did not include a copy of the pages in the book. He only transcribed them (See photo of bible inscription on Elizabeth's page). Other than this book there has been no hard definitive proof of any other daughters of Elizabeth (LaRue) and Peter LaRue.

7) Deborah LaRue born May 29, 1779 - died sometime before 1824.
8) Abigail - was added before I took management of my LaRue family's memorial. I have no record of her ANYWHERE.
