Richmond family ponderings

Somehow I happened today to fall into a research problem. Who are the parents of Lydia Richmond, who married Lemuel Hammond? What I know:
1) Per pioneer history, her maiden name was Richmond and she was born in Batavia, Genesee County New York in 1811. Her parents were not named;
2) She has a death certificate as "Lydia Harmond", but her parents were listed as unknown;
3) In 1860 twins Isabel & Arabel Richmond, age 12, were living with Lydia and Lemuel. No relationship is given in the 1860 census.
4) on 04 April 1861, Hiram and Adelia Richmond are witnesses to the marriage of Charles Hammond and Aramintha Parker.

Questions:
1) How are Isabel and Arabel related to Lydia?
2) Who were Lydia's parents?
3) How are Hiram & Adelia Richmond related to Lydia?
