| Notes for Christopher Edelen | ||||||||||||
| "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).
