The Local History Room at Albion Public Library is the official archive for Peabody Family records at Albion, Michigan. Albion was founded by Paul Tenney Peabody and his wife Eleanor Thompson Peabody in 1833. The family arrived at the Forks of the Kalamazoo River after a winter overland journey via Canada from Niagara County, New York. The eldest daughter, Louisa, became the mother of Madelon Stockwell, the first woman to attend The University of Michigan, breaking barriers of co-education for women in public institutions. The archive contains family photographs and other informative documents. If you have materials that would inform this history or wish information, the Local History Room can be reached at www.albionlibrary.org. Leslie K. Dick, Public Historian.
