Sorry, I guess I should have included the source. Go to;

http;//www-nmd.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html

On the form provided enter the following;

Feature name; Larue
State; Kentucky
County; Clay

Perhaps the listmembers can provide some information on what must be a historical place that probably no longer exists.

Also my probable line connects to the LaRues in LaRue Co., KY no earlier than Abrahm Le Roux, The Immigrant, born about 1660 in Mannheim, Germany. I probably descend from the Immigrant's
second marriage while they descend from the first.

Thanks for your time and effort. All help is truly appreciated.
