Miscellaneous Ancestors of Note (Not "Royals")
Hannah Lake 1621 - 1675
Married John Gallup in 1643. She arrived in America aboard the "Abigail" on 10/6/1635. She is buried at Whitehall Cemetary, Mystic, CT. She provides one of the primary linkages to many French "Royals," eg, Louis IV, Charles III, Louis II, Charles II, Louis I, and Charlemagne..
Two theories on the origination of the name "Larrabee:"
1) Larrabee was originally French - L'arrive. This means "people who dwell along the river."
2) The original French name was L'arabie (Arabia) and not L'arabe (the Arab). It is highly unlikely that the first Larrabees were Arabs - it's more likely that some partook in the crusades to Arabia.
