4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
The Laver family history in South Petherton, Somerset is discussed in some detail in Chapter 6 of the book by Sara Vaux and Hanna Nicholas, The Vaux Family of England, Australia and the United States[1] . Many of the church records from South Petherton are provided in the website, South Petherton Information (developed by Hanna Nicholas and Liz (Hebditch) James, accessed online at http://www.southpethertoninformation.org.uk/)[2].
John Laver was christened, as Johannes Laver, on 30 October 1722 in South Petherton, Somerset, the son of John and Joanna (Axe) Laver[1-4].
He married Elizabeth Wills (christened at Merriott, Somerset on 16 August 1730) on 16 April 1750 in Lopen, Somerset[5]. They had children, all born in South Petherton and all but two were christened in the South Petherton Parish of St. Peter and St. Paul Church[2]:
* Thomas Laver, born about 1750.
* Jane Laver, christened 14 August 1751, married 5 January 1779 to Francis Sturton in South Petherton.
* Betty Laver, christened 28 March 1753.
* John Laver, christened 31 January 1755.
* Jacob Laver, christened 4 February 1757.
* William Laver, christened 17 January 1759, married 14 May 1789 to Elizabeth Stuckey.
* Joanna Laver, christened about 1761, buried 17 May 1762.
* Joanna Laver, christened 5 January 1763, buried 4 November 1836, married 2 August 1785 to John Vaux.
* Samuel Laver, christened 7 July 1764, buried 25 April 1834, married 4 September 1788 to Susannah Hebditch.
* Hannah Laver, christened 31 December 1766.
Not much is known about this Laver family, perhaps because they were Non-Conformists[1]. The Old Meeting house (Presbyterian) records start again in 1747, and many baptisms, marriages and burials of the Laver family were recorded in the South Petherton parish church.
John's wife, Elizabeth, died and was buried 1 January 1796 in South Petherton.
John Lavor was buried on 13 October 1799, at the age of 76, in South Petherton[6].
