I'm searching for evidence about the parents and wives of Joseph Larocque, who was born about 1795 in Rigaud, Vaudreuil, Quebec. Joseph died 26 Sep 1878 in St. Lawrence Co., NY. He was in the War of 1812 in the militia, Battle of Lundy's Lane, and was captured by the Americans along with brother Francois. They were POWs for about a year near Albany, NY. Joseph married first possibly Laura Leroy in about 1821 in Canada and they had son William LaRock in 1823. Joseph married second Ann(a) McKenzie and had the following children, all born in Canada: July 1828 Celia [married Levi Snow]; abt 1831 Mary [married A. DeMarce]; James Robert b. 9 Dec 1834, married Rozilla Pike and died 25 April 1909 in Minnesota; Joseph LaRock; Francis LaRock; and an unknown female.
The family moved to St. Lawrence County, NY, about 1840, probably the Fowler area. I have info to share about James Robert LaRock's line. Thanks for any information!
