***** West Virginia did not become a state until 1863, after 50 northwestern counties of Virginia decided to break away from that Southern state in the Wheeling Conventions in 1861. Technically, he was born in Hampshire County, Virginia which is now in West Virginia.

Son of James and Susan (Wolverton) Larimore. He was the second of eleven children.

Excerpts from a profile of John's son, Albert Larimore, taken from 'Past and present of the city of Quincy and Adams County, Illinois' Published 1905 by S. J. Clarke Pub. Co. in Chicago. pages 752-753.

Albert W. Larimore is the owner of valuable farming property in Payson township. He was born December 11, 1839, in Hampshire county, West Virginia, and is a son of JOHN W. and ELIZABETH (Fahs) Larimore, both of whom were natives of West Virginia, born near Romney, in Hampshire county. The first representatives of the Larimore family in America came from Ireland and as far as is known settled first in West Virginia. There were five brothers who crossed the Atlantic to the new world and one of these became a resident of Ohio. His paternal grandparents were James and Susan (Wolverton) Larimore. His maternal grandparents both died in West Virginia. The grandfather was a blacksmith by trade and followed that pursuit throughout his entire business career.

John W. Larimore was a farmer by occupation and thus provided for his family, which numbered six children, Albert W. being the eldest. The others were: Isaac M., James A., Mrs. Rebecca Price, William and Naomi. The last named died when twenty years of age and was buried in Shiloh cemetery. William was wounded in the battle of Shiloh, April 6, 1862 and died just a week later. His father went south for his remains and the interment was made in Shiloh cemetery, in Adams county.

The following profile is taken from 'The History of Adams County, 1879':

LARIMORE JOHN W., retired farmer; residence, Plainville, P.O Stone's Prairie; was born in Hampshire, Va., Dec. 30, 1811. His parents, James and Naomi (Wolverton) Larimore, were natives of the same place; John is the second of two brothers and five sisters; was brought up there on a farm. In 1842 they came west and settled in Macon county, Mo., where he remained until the fall of 1844; then came to Payson township Adams county, Ill. He bought a farm and settled on it, remaining until 1874. They then removed to Plainville.

He married Elizabeth Fahs, Nov. 21, 1837. She was born and brought up in Hampshire county, Va.; was the daughter of Philip and Rebecca (Baker) Fahs.
