I am not finding any LaRue's in our immediate area. Most of them were in the Albany & Fulton areas. There was a LaRue family in Erie - a Dr. Robert LaRue and family. Perhaps some of our viewers connect to your line, otherwise, I recommend you contact the Fulton or Albany Genealogical Societies or the Whiteside County Genealogical Society.1880 United States Federal Census about James Larue
