Daniel LaBarre

Daniel (de) la Barre settled with his wife Judith Rossignol in the French colony of Prenzlau in the Uckermark, Prussia. Other family members were in Strasburg, Uckermark and in Bergholz, Uckermark all within a distance of like 20-30 miles.

birth entries for the following children of Daniel Labarre and Judith Rossignol in the church book of the French reformed church of Prenzlau:

Nr. 421 Esther Labarre, born 30 Jan. 1708

Nr. 465 Rachel Labarre, born 9 Jan. 1714

Nr. 511 Anthoine Labarre, born 29 April 1719

His profession is given as “maitre tisserant”, his birth place as “franqueville proche de la ville de guises en France”, Judith’s birthplace as “du deserre dans palatinate”.

Now around that time the Palatinate was devasted by war with France (that is why the families left and settled in the East of Prussia). The borderline changed frequently.

There are two other birth entries with a Daniel Labarre as father but with Anne Elisabeth Paul Caspart as mother. Good chance it is the same person, but could be a son just as well, since the profession is the same and the birthplace Franqueville but added province Picardie.

Nr. 707 Marie Anne Alexandrine Labarre, born 29 July 1724

Nr. 812 Marie Sara Labarre, born 18 July 1729

Some more Labarre’s from the same time in Prenzlau:

Nr. 708 Anne Labarre, born 18.10.1724, daughter of Pierre Labarre, taylor from Effe? and Susanne Jacob, born in Fahrenwalde, Uckermark, the godfather is Daniel Labarre, grandfather of the child.

Nr. 799 Henry Labarre, born 4 Feb. 1729, same parents as Nr. 708

Nr. 823 Marie La Barre, born 23 Jan. 1730, daughter of Abraham La Barre, tanner, born in Strasburg, Uckermark and Marie Neuveglise, born in Battin, Uckermark (my la Barre line)

and from the same parents

Nr. 938 Abraham La Barre, born 29 Aug. 1734

Nr. 986 Jacob La Barre, born 18 Sept. 1736

Nr. 1040 Elisabeth de la Barre, born 5 March 1739

Nr. 1079 Jean La Bart (that’s how they spelled it !), born 4 Feb. 1741

No more birth entries for the other Labarre fathers, so they might have left after 1730 to go to America.

The parents of “my Abraham La Barre (born 13 May 1708 in Strasburg, Uckermark)” are Guillaume de la Barre ( born 1684 Beindersheim, Pfalz) and Sara de Frene.

Guillaume is the son of Abraham de la Barre (born 7 May 1654 Frankenthal, Pfalz) and Marie Jeanne Charles. Abraham is son of Abraham de la Barre and Anne du Pre.
