Misc. Notes
"Christopher Edelen (c. 1682-1771) was the youngest son of Richard
and Elizabeth (Banton) Edelen, the immigrants. He inherited from his
parents a portion of the estate "Dublin" just north of the town of
Piscataway and made it his dwelling plantation4. This is the same
tract of land as was inhabited by his brother Edward Edelen and his
family, so they must have been neighbors. In 1707 he married Jane
Jones, a daughter of Moses and Elizabeth (Jenkins) Jones. At this
time her father was deceased, and her mother had married Edward
Edelen. Christopher Edelen and Jane Jones were married in the Church
of England (otherwise know as Anglican, and later Episcopal Church)
in St. John's Parish, Piscataway (ref 11). All of their children's
births are also recorded here as well, establishing another line of
Protestant Edelens.

Children of Christopher and Jane (Jones) Edelen:

Elizabeth Edelen married Clement Wheeler
Anne Edelen married ____ Gardiner
John Edelen married Sarah ____
Richard Edelen married Sarah Stonestreet
Benjamin Edelen
Jane Edelen married Butler Stonestreet
Christopher Edelen married Rebecca Johnson
Eleanor Edelen married Edward Stonestreet
Catherine Edelen

Land purchases by Christopher Edelen recorded by Newman include:
"Major's Choice" in 1737 just south of Dublin, "Edelen's Addition"
and "Edelen's Folly" in 1748 (location unknown), a portion of
"Piscataway Manor", otherwise known as "Calvert Manor" in 1765. In
his will, probated in 1771, he devised his widow the homestead at
"Dublin", and his grandson James Edelen the property "Major's
Choice". After the decease of Jane (Jones) Edelen around 1773, their
personal estate was divided among the children. The estate at
"Dublin" went to their son Christopher (ref 4,9). "
