Per family records, John is the son of George Edelman. Per census records, he was likely born 1806 to 1807. John's date of death has not been discovered. An 1880 census for him has not been located, so his date of death ranges anywhere from the 1870 census, and before 1898, when Beers writes John had been called to his final rest.
UPDATE:
John Edelman's birth (23 Jun 1810) and baptism (22 Jul 1810) are recorded at New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church in Montgomery County, PA.
John Edelman died in 11 Sep 1877 in Mifflinburg, Union County. A copy of his will is available on microfilm at the Union County Courthouse in Lewisburg.
John Edelman married Anna Maria Linsenbigler on April 7, 1833. ~ Pennsylvania German Society Proceedings Vol 2 1909.
Records of the church at Falkner swamp, New Hanover, show Anna Maria was the daughter of Paul Linzebiegler and Maria Elisabeth Binder.
John Edelman came from New Hanover in Montgomery county to Chester county in 1832 and purchased property at Coventry. Based on his business dealings with Paul Linsenbigler, it would seem likely that this John is the same John who married Anna Maria Linsenbigler. John's 2nd wife, Mary Ann Zimmerman, was first married to Levi Smith in East Vincent, Chester county, Pennsylvania.
