| Notes |
- The Larrabee family is of French origin. The name has long been distinguished in France, notably one county Larrabee. The progenitor of the American line was undoubtedly a Huguenot, emigrating on account of the religious persecution by the Roman Catholics after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The name was originally L'Arabie, Arabie or D'Arabie, finally becoming in America as well as in France Larabee and Larrabee. The early records give a fine variety of spellings of all the French proper names. With this surname we find Larabe, Laraby, Larabee, Lareby, Laribe, Laribee, Laroby, Larrabbee, Larraby, Leareby, Learaby, Leraby, Lerabe, and other.
Stephen Larabee, the immigrant ancestor, was born about 1630, probably in France.
He came to this country with his brother William and they settled before 1673, in Malden, Massachusetts, where William lived the remainder of his days. dying without children living, and bequeathing to his brother's large family his estate at Malden. This will was dated October 24, 1692, and the inventory is dated September 28, 1692. Stephen Larabee was a soldier in King Philip's war. He settled in North Yarmouth, Maine, but his family had to leave that town during Indian hostilities. A petition dated March 6, 1732-33, gives the names of his sons. Children: Stephen, born 1652; William, about 1658; Captain John, went to sea and did not return; Thomas, about 1660; Isaac, born 1663-64; Captain Benjamin, born 1666; Ephraim; Jane; Samuel, mentioned below. Each of the children had a grant of ten acres on account of the father's war services.
