History of Leslie Township
From History of Ingham and Eaton Counties, Michigan
By Samuel W. Durant
Published 1880 by D.W. Ensign & Co., Philadelphia

James BLACKMORE,
the present post-master at Leslie, emigrated from Stafford, Genesee Co., N.Y., to Henrietta, Jackson Co., Mich., in 1848, and in 1855 came to Leslie and taught school. He removed here in 1858, and engaged in mercantile business in June, 1859.
---
A post-office was established at Leslie as early as the fore part of 1838, and Henry FISKE was the first postmaster. Numerous others have since held the office. Hiram GODFREY was postmaster in 1856; Sidney O. RUSSELL held it afterwards for several years, and was succeeded by James BLACKMORE, the present incumbent, who was appointed March 10, 1865.

Several further references to James Blackmore implying he was a Councillor

James married Harriet E. ALLEN. (Harriet E. ALLEN was born circa 1838 in New York, USA.)
