LARIMER/LARMER/LARAMORE;OH>IL>IN USA
Information on my grandfather, John Harrison LARIMER, listed in the 1900
Lost Creek Township, Vigo County, IN, USA census index includes the
following:
LARIMER, John H. birthplace Illinois September 1862.
1870 census of Edgar County, IL lists:
LARMER, Elizabeth age 33 birthplace OH
LARMER, William F. age 9 birthplace IL
LARMER John H. age 7 birthplace IL
Different surname spelling, but the dates work for confirmed date of birth
for John Harrison LARIMER. Also, I recall my father mentioning his uncle
called "Buffalo Frank", so that could be the other son William F.
1860 census of Edgar County, IL lists:
LARAMORE, John age 23 birthplace OH
LARAMORE (HEART) Elizabeth age 22 birthplace OH
"They were living with her parents (James H. and Mary HEART) at the time of
the census."
Yet another surname spelling but again, names and dates work.
Any information regarding the above which might confirm, disprove or
contribute in any way would be very much appreciated, be it in relation to
Indiana, Illinois or Ohio.
I plan to visit both Vigo County IN and Edgar County IL during September. I
expect to have only approximately one week in each county. Any suggestions
of resource contacts such as libraries, genealogical/historical societies
and the like in either county would be very much appreciated so that I might
put together my plan of attack for research in advance.
Also, suggested sources for research from my home here in London that I
might access by e-mail or postal service regarding the above would be very
much appreciated.
I'd be happy to assist anyone with research requirements in the United
Kingdom. I frequently visit such as the Public Records Office and Family
Records Centre here in London.
