Since Mr. Abbey has the given name of Larue, I wonder if there is any link between him and the Isaac Catlett family of Fremont Co. Isaac Catlett came from LaRue County KY and was related to the LaRue family of LaRue County. Since it is know that families often migrate together, the Abbeys and Catletts may be connected.
