| "Mary D. McCauley, DVM" <KittyDoc@prodigy.net> Edelen descendants, see Edelen File, http://www.ghgcorp.com/edelen/Descendants.html "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)." http://www.ghgcorp.com/edelen/People1.html Wrote his will 22 February 1745, probated Prince George's County 20 March 1756, Wills Liber 36, folio 336 | ||||||||||||||||||
