Description

Isaac Drummond LaRoche was born in Augusta, Georgia on August 21, 1816. His parents were Isaac LaRoche, son of Isaac LaRoche and Elizabeth Drummond, and Eliza Sophia McIntosh Oliver, daughter of John Oliver of Augusta. Isaac Drummond LaRoche's father, Isaac, died in Augusta in 1822. According to Robert M. Myers, Isaac LaRoche (d.1822) came from South Carolina and early in life settled in Augusta where he practiced law. Records show that Isaac LaRoche (d.1822) and Eliza Oliver were married in Augusta in 1809; however, this Isaac must have lived part of his life in Savannah.
