PETER LEMEL EDMONDS
Peter Lemel Edmonds first purchased land in Barry County in 1853, having

beginning with Edman Edmans born in Great Britain, married 29 August 1718
Simsbury, CT, Hannah Adams. Hannah was born 27 March 1688 to John Adams and
Abigail Pinney, whose parents .were Humphrey Pinney and Mary Hull, whose
parents were George Hull and Thomason Mitchell.
Edman and Hannah were parents of seven children; their second son, Edmond,
born 14 May 1721, married 5 July 1739 Elizabeth Godhard. Edmond died 24
February 1811, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. They had eight children:
Rosina, married Joseph Rhoads; Catherine, married Daniel Warner, Jr.; Thankful;
Oliver; Martha; Mary; Rebecca; and Peter.
Peter Edmonds, born 27 July or 1 August 1760 Dutchess County, New York, died
30 July 1854 Wooster, Wayne County, Ohio, married three times. He first married
17 April 1786 Northampton County to Phoebe Davis, born September 1756, daughter
of Henry and Sarah Davis. They had two children: David, married Elizabeth
Knaus; and, Nathaniel, married Mary Smith. Peter married (2) 30 January 1790/1

ALEX I. EDMONDS [middle initial is wrong should
be "Q"]
This house was built in 1866 in Baltimore Twp., Barry County Michigan. It
was built by Alex I. Edmonds. He had served in the Michigan Cavalry in the
Civil War and had sent home his earnings to his father (Peter Lemuel Edmonds).
His father bought forty acres of woods which had to be cleared enough to build
the house.

On January 2, 1866 Alex was married to Francelia M. Chase and they lived
with parents until November when they moved into their own house which lasted
until 1884 when a brick house was built to take its place.
The five children of Alex were born in the log cabin. Frank on the extreme

his wife holding her two-year-old, Lucy with another daughter, Martha standing

General Notes for Child Nathaniel F. EDMONDS
================================================================================
This story was told to me by several persons, including his daughter-in-law
Lulu Belle (Hoffman) Edmonds.
One day Nathaniel was playing "mumbly-peg" [a game that young men played
with a knife that involves flipping it off various parts of the body so that it
would stick in the ground or floor by it's point] on the bridge over the creek
[This person never found out which bridge this happened on], when a man in a
buggy came by and demanded that they "clear off and let him pass and that they
surely had better things to do!" After the man passed, Nathaniel turned to his
two friends and asked "Who was that and who does he think he is?" To which his
friends replied "Why that's "Deacon French" and he's the Deacon at the Church."
They then returned to their game and in the course of conversation it was told
to Nathaniel that "Deacon French" had some real pretty daughters, and they
challenged Nathaniel to go ask one of them to the barn dance that weekend.
Nathaniel went up to the front to the front door and knocked. "Deacon French"
came to the door and asked "What do you want?" Nathaniel replied "I'm here to
ask your daughter to the dance." 'Deacon French' asked "Which one?" Nathaniel
said "The prettiest one." (The only name that his friends had named was Laura)
'Deacon French' asked "What's her name?" And Nathaniel said Laura. 'Deacon
French' said "That's the one" and called Laura to the door. They went to the
dance and the rest is history.
His will was not filed until 1 October 1963 and closed 5 Nov 1965 copy on
microfilm at the Barry County Probate Court in Hastings, Barry County, Michigan

>From E-mail sent by Anita Hyatt Davis:
Dan'l,
I know you like first hand information! How about information from a
first hand observer? I've got it! I have been corresponding with
Dorothy Edmonds, last surviving dau/o Lemuel Peter. She was a good
friend of my mother's and so I have tried to keep in touch with her. She
just turned 97 and lives in Florida, and after all of these years, has
finally decided to talk Family History. I just received a letter this
morning in which she answered a few of my questions. I quote:
"The only help I can offer with any authenticity is regarding Uncle Sam.
He fathered all those children but left his wife and moved to Idaho where
he operated a shop--I believe a "tin shop." In 1926 he returned to
Michigan and lived with us for a year. Finally his daughter Orpha took
him from us but left him soon at the then Barry Co. Poor Farm, where he
later died and is buried in the pauper cemetery lot. Orpha said he
deserted them and she felt nothing for him. The boys had no contact with
him. His only wife was Eva Rickles whom he married, divorced and
remarried and abandoned twice. He was smaller than Dad, milk-mannered
and unobtrusive, never indulging in conversation."
I'm so glad that Dorothy has started to remember her past and tell it.
By the way, I did look up Eva Boor on the Internet and found several,
most being born earlier or later than ours would have been, and in other
countries. I found one in the Social Security death record that was
interesting, but most likely had nothing to do with us: Eva Boor, b. 14
Sep 1891, d. June 1975, S.S. 377-24-6435, Zip 48084, Troy, Oakland,
Michigan. I still wonder about where that name came from originally, and
in light of the above, info, I think I will not even list her at all. I
still wonder if Eva Rickles (or is it officially Rickle) might have
married a Boor during the time Samuel was divorced from her?.?.
Let me know how you feel about this above.
