Hi List, The following query is for the Mary Edelen that married Giles Blizzard, Robert Thompson, James Smallwood and Alexander Herbert. (it looks like she died bef 1754 but do not have a record.) ----- Forwarded Message ---- Database: mrmarsha Individual: I07576 Link: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mrmarsha&id=I07576 Name: Christopher J Handy Email: christopher.j.handy@gmail.com Note: The date of the  marriage of Richard Edelen to Elizabeth Banton seems suspect given the date of Mary Edelen's christening (three and a half weeks before this latter marriage). Also, it seems very possible that this Mary Edlin was NOT a daughter of Richard Edlin and Priscilla Piggott (as she was christened in a different parish to that in which Richard Edelen and Priscilla Piggott were married).

Mike, Christopher makes a good point. Read the following...... Newman, Harry Wright, Charles County Gentry : a genealogical history of six emigrants, Thomas Dent, John Dent, Richard Edelen, John Hanson, George Newman, Humphrey Warren, all scions of armorial families of old England who settled in Charles County, Maryland, and their descendants showing migrations to the South and West Washington D.C.: The author, 1940, 335 pgs. RICHARD EDELEN, GENT. [1635-1694] Richard Edelen, younger son of Philip and Catherine [Offley] Edelen, was born ca 1635 in Middletsex, England. About 1664 he married Elizabeth ___, and left for Maryland perhaps in the same year. They were in the Province, however, by Feb 1664/5, as proved by the following document: "I Richard Edelen do from me and my heirs assign and make over unto Daniel Jenifer and his heirs all my full rights title and interest of mine and Elizabeth's my wife's right to land for either of our transportation unto this Province as Witness my hand this ninth day of February one thousand six hundred and sixty-four." Witness by [signed] Richard Edelen Edward Savage In 1665 he declared his intentions of returning to England before a session of the Provincial Court. All indications point to the fact that his wife Elizabeth accompanied him and there their first son, Philip, was born. He returned to the Province before the spring of 1669, at which time he established headrights for his wife and son. "6 May 1669. Richard Edelen proved rights to 100 acres of land for Elizabeth his wife and Philip his son proved in Common form". [signed] John Blomfield Children of Richard and Elizabeth Edelen* 1. Philip Edelen, probably d.s.p. 2. Catherine Edelen 3. Richard Edelen married Sarah Hagoe. q. v. 4. Thomas Edelen married Comfort Barnes. q.v. 5. Edward Edelen married Elizabeth Jenkins. q.v. 6. Christopher Edelen married Janes Jones. q.v. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mike marshall" <mrmarsha2004@yahoo.com> To: <mdstmary@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 10:43 AM Subject: [MDSTMARY] Mary Edelen d/o Richard Edelen Hi List, The following query is for the Mary Edelen that married Giles Blizzard, Robert Thompson, James Smallwood and Alexander Herbert.

Mike, Was there any particular reason to take this "post-em note" seriously? i.e is he a serious researcher? The norm of the day would be: marriage in bride's parish, christening in home parish or groom's family parish. A quickly arranged (groom's) re-marriage after a (bride's) death in childbirth was also pretty normal. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mike marshall" <mrmarsha2004@yahoo.com> To: <mdstmary@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 10:43 AM Subject: [MDSTMARY] Mary Edelen d/o Richard Edelen Hi List, The following query is for the Mary Edelen that married Giles Blizzard, Robert Thompson, James Smallwood and Alexander Herbert.
