Jacob W. LaRue, eldest son of Isaac and Phebe, was born on Long Marsh, Frederick County (now Clarke County), Virginia. He first married Mary Frost. Isaac and Mary had several (9 or 10) children, their home called Bloomfield was not far from that of Isaac LaRue, Jacob's father. They moved to Kentucky in 1798 to a tract of 1,300 acres of land near the North Fork of the Nolyn River. Mary LaRue died in 1804 and was probably the first to be buried in the family plot about 300 yards from the house. .
Jacob then married Jane Morgan. She was the daughter of John Morgan who was killed by hostile Indians "on the Beargrass" about 1780. At the time of her marriage to Jacob, Jane was living at Rolling Fork, near where Howard's Mill is now located. They had three children.
