Dear List, Some care is needed here. I believe there are two separate Thomas Edelens here. One is the son of Richard Edelen (abt 1636-abt 1694) and Elizabeth Barton who married Comfort Barnes. The other is the son of Richard Edelen (abt 1672- abt 1760) and Sarah Hagen who married Mary Blandford. - Bye from Bill Howard On Apr 16, 2007, at 9:59 PM, Norma Lundgren wrote: > Yes, that is the one to whom I referred.
