François Larocque was born around 1706, and married Marguerite Caplan around 1725. In 1752 his son Jean, born aroun 1730, married Perpétue Lejeune, daughter of Joseph Lejeune and Cécile Pitre, at Louisbourg in 1752. Jean and Perpétue had two sons, François, born in 1754 at Cape Breton Island, and Ambroise, born in 1757 at Ile-St-Jean (P.E.I), where many Acadians had taken refuge. 

How long have the LaRocque's been in the Gaspé region? On his marriage record, Jean is described as "originaire de Gaspé" (the name was spelled Laroque on the record). 

François Laroque and his two sons were undoubtedly were among those French-Canadian fisherman (along with some 1000 Acadian refugees) who sought refuge at Restigouche in 1760, under the protection of Jean-Louis Bourdon. It was at Restigouche where his son Georges married Marguerite Lebrasseur on 15 Jul 1760. We know that François, Charles and Georges were present at St-Godefroi (then within the boundaries of Paspébiac) as early as 1765, according to the census taken that year. St-Godefroi did not become a parish until 1875, and is the historic village of the Gaspé branch of the LaRocque family.

 There is little known about François Larocque, although Acadian Historian Bona Arsenault suggests he is of Norman origin.

 In addition to being ancestor of the LaRocques of the Gaspé peninsula (centered in the fishing village of St-Godefroi, near Paspébiac), he is also, by marriage, ancestor of the following families: Chapados, Roussy, Anglehart, Denis, Delarosbil and Mallet. We know that several of these families (Chapados, Roussy, Denis and Delarosbil) are of Basque origin (as were a great many fisherman of the period at Paspebiac). 

The marriage list for the descendant of François LaRocque has been combined to the complete list of Larocque marriages. To find François Larocque descendants, the heading that contant the name of the spouse is colored mauve.

A list of descendants of François Larocque and Marguerite Caplan follows. Generations 1 2 3 4 and 5 are on this page. Generations 6 et 7 are on the following page, and generations 8 9 et 10 are on the last page.
