Hello Norma,
Our progenitor of our American family was Richard Edelen who came to Md in 1664. As far as I know all
Edelen/Edelin/Edlen families in America are descended from him. Anyway, Richard the immigrant was my 76th
g-grandfather. His son Richard Edelen married Sarah Hagoe/Hagan (I have seen it spelled both ways). Richard and Sarah
Edelen had two or three children that married Neales. Their son Richard married Margaret Neale, their daughter Mary
married Benjamin Neale, and an un-named daughter married Bennet Neale. Below is an excerpt from what I have typed up
for me and my immediate family. I hope it is of some help or interest to you. Look it over and see if it is of any
help to you. This came from the book, "Charles County Gentry". The last child, # 6, is my 6th g-grandfather).

V. RICHARD EDELEN, GENT., B. 1635 in Middlesex, England--D. 1694
-M-(married 10/29/1663 in London, England)
ELIZEBETH BANTON, B. ABT. 1639 in England--D. in St. Mary's Co., Md.. She was daughter of Lord Pannewell of
England. They were married 10/29/1663) in St. Peter's Church at Paul's Wharf, London, England. Immigrated to America in
1664. They were at least in Maryland by Febuary, 1664/65 according to the following document signed by Richard Edelen:

"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 Elizebeth my wife's right to land for either of our transportation unto
this Province a Witness my hand this ninth day of Febuary, one thousand six hundred and sixty-four".
(signed with his signiture) Richard Edelen
Witness by:
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 Elizebeth accompanied him and there their first son was, Phillip, was born.
He returned to the Province before the spring of 1669, at which time he established headrights for his wife and son:

"5 May, 1669, Richard Edelen proved rights to 100 acres of land for Elizebeth his wife and Philip his son,
proved in common form.
(signed)John Blemfeld"

In 1670 Richard was appointed Deputy Surveyer of the Province by Baker Brooke, then Surveyer General. He
eventually aquired a lot of land in what became Pr. Georges County, and named it, which is our ancestral estate,
"Dublin".
