I am of the 5th generation of Victor Delagrange, who came over from France with two brothers, Constance and August,and a cousin with his parents, Joseph and Mary (Shottan) Delagrange in 1843. They were in Ohio for 8 years and then moved to Allen County, IN, Cedar Creek Township.; Constance birth date was 5/24/1831.l He married Ann Margaret Greavy in 1861 and had children. Constance was in Stark County,OH around 1861. I have a Dealgrange book that was compiled with the history of the brothers and has all the descendants of Victor and Barbara Schwartz. My dad was Joseph Delagrange, son of Henry and Katie Delagrange, who was son of Joseph and Leah (Oesch)Delagrange, who was the eldest son of Victor (7/10/1827) and Barbara (Schwartz) (10/22/1830). Victor was Catholic and married an Amish girl.
There was a (Justin) assumed to be August and wife, MAry llsted in 1880 census in St Joe Township, Allen County, IN. tThere is also Francis Delagrange and wife Octavi listed in tthe 1870 census for Jefferson township. Both men were listed as born in France. Francis is either the cousin or the 4th brother. If anyone would like a copy of the first few pages of the book, email me at joo5@frontier.com and I can copy and mail to you.

There must have been another brother or cousin because my grandmother was a Delagrange, heard the same story but her side settled Catholic and the others Amish.

The jacobus de La grange was an in American, his family tree start a lot earlier than 1860, Early settlers were in Albany as early as 1640 or so. So unless some when back to france before 1860 i have now way of knowing if there is a family connection

I am supprised to see how much la Grange's there is in America.

Perhaps with a little more info I can help. Do you know if Jacobus was also identified as Jacob and do you know of parents, or siblings so I can be more specific. I have a La Grange/De La Grange family tree dated back to about 1625. The origin begins with Omie De La Grange. Does this appear familiar?

the jacobus La Grange was an earlier settler of New York in the 1700's or so. So I not sure if these two families are related.

Hello,
It is quite a while since you out your message in but thought I should reply.I too come from the La(Le) Grange family.Mine are the line in South Africa altho' there are a lot in America.Where are yours or do you not know?
I have the name Jacobus in my family but first names were repeated over and over again and it can get very confusing.
I have some documents and a list of the La Grange family in SA the Book of Great South African Names.If you would like them I could scan them and send them to you but if you can't open them,can fotocopy and post.
Good Researching!!
