"Edward Edelen (c. 1676-1756) was born to Richard and Elizabeth
(Banton) Edelen, the immigrants, in St. Mary's County. From his
parent's estate of 1695, he inherited a portion of the tract "Dublin"
north of Piscataway in Prince George's County and lying east of the
Tinkers Creek, and made this his dwelling place (ref 4,9). In
addition to being a
planter, a 1719 land transaction referred to Edward Edelen as
"carpenter", so, like his brother Richard, he may have pursued this
additional occupation.

Around 1707 he married Elizabeth (Jenkins) Jones of Prince George's
County, the widow of Moses Jones and daughter of Thomas and Anne
Jenkins. From this union, Edward Edelen acquired the tracts "Thomas
Chance" and "Pinner" both located just east of Piscataway (ref 4,9).

Children of Edward Edelen and Elizabeth (Jenkins) Jones-Edelen were:

Sarah Edelen married Samuel Queen
James Edelen married Salome Noble

Both of these births are recorded in the Anglican Church in St.
John's Parish (ref 11). It is unknown whether this signaled a
conversion from Catholicism to the Church of England for Edward
Edelen, but likely his wife was a member of the established church as
evidenced by her daughter by Moses Jones being married in the
established church.

Other land that came into the possession of Edward Edelen included a
portion of "Calvert Manor" which is located at the present-day
Piscataway Park and surrounding areas on the Potomac River,
"Littleworth" near Piscataway, "Little Ease" located adjacent to
'Thomas Chance", "No Name" lying on the Swanson Creek near where it
joins the Patuxent River, and "Never Fear" (ref 4,9).

Court records show that Elizabeth (Jenkins) Jones-Edelen was deceased
by 1731, and her share of her father's estate passed to her children
Sarah (Edelen) Queen and James Edelen. Edward Edelen's will was
probated in 1756, which granted to his son James the plantations
"Thomas Chance", "Little Ease", and "Littleworth". His brother
Christopher was granted "Dublin" on which he was then residing.
Grandson Henry Queen was bequeathed "Pinner" which later passed into
the hands of Henry's sisters Catherine (Queen) Edelen and Sarah
(Queen) Jameson (ref 4)."
