Goodspeeds History of Tenn 1887 Cocke County
J.C. La Rue, merchant and farmer, was born October 3, 1824, in Knox county, and came to Cocke County, when twelve years old. Up to his twenty-eighth year he was the main support of his father. In 1861, he married Margaret J. Parrott, a daughter of Samuel Parrott, a son of George Parrott, in whose honor the village was named. Our subject’s children were Samuel B., Selma A., Frank D., Fannie K. (deceased), James H., Charles W., Horace L., Hugh F., and an infant (deceased). The third and fourth, and seventh and eighth were twins. His wife is a Methodist Episcopalian, and he is a Master Mason, and a Republican, and first voted for Taylor for President. He was a constable four years, and county clerk for a similar time. He owns a fine farm of about 450 acres near Parrottsville, besides another tract of 498 acres, and a saw and grist-mill two and a half miles southeast of Parrottsville. He was the third of seven children of Francis and Nancy A. (Young) La Rue, natives of Knox County. The father was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was in politics an old line Whig. He was a Christian man, and devoted to agricultural pursuits. The La Rues were of French and the Youngs of English origin. George La Rue, a native of Knox county, was the next ancestor.
