Edmond became a Farmer, the Owner of the "well known tidemill in Lynn" and a Fellmonger. A Fellmonger both prepared hides (especially sheep hides) by removing the hair from them and drying them and also one who was a dealer for hides & skins. His occupation as "Fellmonger" is substantiated by court documents of 1 December 1654, in which William Lyon, the son of John Lyon of Marblehead, said in court that he was apprenticed to "Edmond Farrinton of Lyn, fellmonger" for a period of eleven years. He later also became the Corn Miller in Lynn, when he built the aforementioned tidemill.
