On these web pages, I have stuck to the way the individual in question most often spelled it or the way it was spelled in the record from which I extracted it. Don&#8217;t get hung up on spelling, however, as it was done phonetically through the 19th century.<\/p>\n<h3>Where did they come from?<\/h3>\n<p>According to county histories, all Labars descend from one of three brothers, Peter, Charles, and Abraham LaBar, who, as French Huguenots, came to America sometime before 1730, probably to escape persecution in their homeland. They reportedly landed in Philadelphia, then made their way up the Delaware River to an uninhabited area which is now Slatington and Mount Bethel Township. There they cleared land and built a cabin, and farmed. They traded with the Native Americans living nearby. When other settlers started moving in, the LaBars relocated north of the Blue mountains. Descendents of the three brothers returned to Mount Bethel Township to live several years later.<\/p>\n<p>{Read the messages at the LaBarre Descendents email group at http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/group\/LaBarre-Descendents\/, for a discussion of the parents of the three immigrant brothers, Abraham, Peter, and Charles. Are they Daniel La Barre and Judith Rossignol?}<\/p>\n<h3>Biographies<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list-pages-shortcode child-pages\"><li class=\"page_item page-item-1428\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/families\/labar\/alexander-carson-labarre-of-easton-pa-1848\/\">Alexander Carson LaBarre of Easton, PA (1848-)<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-1669\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/families\/labar\/arlington-la-bar\/\">Arlington La Bar<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-1671\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/families\/labar\/charles-d-labar-1824-1905-of-easton-pa\/\">Charles D.
