Hello, I have 6 differents families with the names Lahaie, Lahaye, Lahaise. Just one of those is not from french origin.
Jean Lehay ( the spelling varies) came to Quebec from the States as a prisoner in Corlar USA. The Jetté dictionnary says that he is from Tollo, Ireland.He settled on the island of Montreal after marriyng another prisonner ( Marie Schwarten, the spelling varies also) I read that she was from Salem. He used the name LAHAIE and all his descendants use that name also, in Quebec anyway!
I have more infos on that couple, if you want it, just send me a email
