John Laramy of Devon and Batavia, NY

Here's what I know about John Laramy's family:

John Laramy was bp. 15 Feb. 1789 in Fremington, Devon, son of William and Ann (Ireland) Laramy.He was a member of the Wesleyan Church in Barnstaple, Devon.He likely married his wife Elizabeth in that church; however, the marriage records have not yet been abstracted into the IGI.She was born ca. 1792.

While John attended church in Barnstaple, he likely lived in South Molton.Pigots directory of 1822/3 shows John Laramy, Maltster (brewer) on South Street in South Moulton.

John apparently came to Batavia, NY in 1840, his family following in 1845 (North, A Descriptive and Biographical Record of Genessee County, 1899).He may have followed his brother Philip there.The 1850 Census shows him in Batavia, occupation Malster, with $1100 of real estate.He also appears there on the 1860 and 1870 Census.John died in Batavia on 2 Oct. 1874 (probate file).He left a will dated 8 April 1867.While this will is now lost, information on the heirs is contained in the probate file.He left his widow Elizabeth and children:
