    1. [BRE] wives of Philip Kimmel (1756-1830)
    2. What little I have on this Philip Kimmel comes from Marie Boney, a descendant of that branch of the family. She says that her Philip was baptized by the Rev. Jacob Lischy, a Reformed minister of Bermudian Reformed & Lutheran Union Church March 23, 1756, and Philip Kimmel 1724 was a witness. Philip 1756 married Drusilla Penrod, a daughter of John Penrod, but I don't have a date for that. Given the number of children attributed to Drusilla, I would assume that the marriage occurred in Somerset Co. PA, since Philip is supposed to have moved to Kentucky about 1796. The rumor within the family is that he fell out with all the brothers after Philip 1724's death in 1796. Marie's record for Drusilla says she died in Kentucky about 1803 and says "date is approximate." We have nine children attributed to Drusilla, the last of them in 1793 in Pennsylvnia. Marie indicates a second marriage by Philip 1756 to Ann (maiden name not given) who had previously been married to a man named Lovelace, then to a Robert Hester, and lastly to Philip Kimmel. Schaefer's Kimmel genealogies give Drusilla Penrod as first wife, and "R Bear" as second, but doesn't have a YOD for Drusilla. Philip Kimmel's will was written December 29 1829 and filed for probate in McCracken County, KY, March 8, 1830.
