SUBJECT: PLUMLY RELATIONSHIP TO THE RUE/ LARUE FAMILIES
Fran: While reading up on the Rue family, of which there seem to be so many branches, I stumbled on this: (in http://pagenweb.org/~bucks/BIOS_DAVIS/laruefamily.html )
"Daniel LaRue, with whose descendants 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 Hopewell, 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 Falls township, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, and on January 26, 1763, John Plumley conveys to "Daniel La Roe, of Falls township, Bucks county" 200 acres in Middletown township. He died in Middletown township, February 1, 1795, 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 Middletown township, dated March 19, 1786, and proven February 16, 1795, devised to son Abraham, five pds, "he already having had his share" Son Daniel the plantation where the testator then lived, 200 acres "bought of John Plumley;”
This a rather an interesting coincidence as Charlotte Plumly is viewed by me to be the mother of Phebe Saxton (Roberts)…
All the more interesting as James Roberts (Sr.) of Bensalem’s mother is a Rue/Larue. James was born between 1737-1765 (census interpolation)
Charlotte Plumly’s grandfather was John Plumly.
Here is the extract form John Plumly’s will:
http://thegenproject.com/Mapping/Bucks_Unsorted_Wills.txt
4.322. John Plumly of Northampton, Yeoman. February 11, 1784. Proved March 13, 1784. Sons John and Edward, exrs.
Wife Ayels. note{~• aka Alice… as in Alice Heaton}
Sons William, Charles, Robert, George, Edward, and John. Daus. Mary, Susanna, Alice and Sarah Mitchener. Grandson John Gregg. Granddau. Anna Gregg. Wit: Jacob Vandegrift, Simon Vanarsdalen, John Rankin.
It should be noted that Daniel La Roe (sic) who purchased John Plumly’s 200 acres in Middletown, is not closely related Mary Roberts (Rue). As noted, there are several branches of the same Rue/LaRue family living in Bucks.
It should also be noted that there are more than one (at least three) John Plumlys of that era living in Bucks County.
Another development:
James Roberts SR. took over the RUE property in Bensalem c. 1805. The widow Rebecca Rue, James’ aunt, did not move out.
