LaRue Jacob and Rebecca Abigail Truax

LaRue Jacob Truax and Rebecca Abigail (Stillwell) Truax were 4G (Great Great Great Great) Grandparents of Chester Carson. Here is the lineage:
  • LaRue Jacob Truax and Rebecca Abigail Stillwell
    • Benjamin B Truax Sr. and Perthenia Pittman
      • Benjamin Truex Jr. and Ezadiah Palmer
        • Stillwell Traux and Rachel Mann
          • John K Carson and Rachel Frances Traux
            • William Bernard Lloyd Carson and Maude Deleilah James
              • Chester Carson


LaRue Jacob Truax was the third of five children born to Philip and Sarah Truax. His first name came from his mother, who's who's maiden name was LaRue. His middle name came from his grandfather, Jacob Truax. LaRue was born sometime in 1705, in Middletown of Monmouth County, New Jersey.

Rebecca Abigail Stillwell was born in about 1709, the fourth of six children to Elias and Ann Stillwell. I have found two birth locations for her: Hancock, MD (also the believed birthplace of John K Carson); and an unspecified town in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

LaRue and Rebecca were married in 1729, in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Together they had nine children: Benjamin, Elizabeth, Samuel, John, Jacob, Obediah, Catherine, Phillip, and Cornelius. Our ancestor from these children was Benjamin.

LaRue died in about 1774, and was buried in the Ayr Township of Bedford (now Fulton) County, Pennsylvania.

Elizabeth outlived her husband, and passed away in 1795. She too was buried in the Ayr Township of Bedford (now Fulton) County, Pennsylvania.
