Dear fellow listers, I am tracing my 5-gr grandfather John LaDue (LaDieu, LaDiew, LaDoo, LaDu, many spellings) who supposedly came from France with Lafayette to fight in the Revolution. I contacted the NY State Archives and they came up with nothing, I have his bounty land pension papers and they are full of information, but nothing concerning his beginnings. I've sent to the National Archives for his military records and pension records, but they haven't arrived yet. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest any other avenue to venture down? Is there anywhere that I can find information on the men who came over to fight with Lafayette? Any input would be appreciated. Sincerely, Lydia Granda
