Subject: Robert Harding (d. 1568) of London, ancestor of Richard Edelen (d. 1694/5)
Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2004 19:43:17 -0800 (PST)


Another great-great-grandfather of Richard Edelen (d.
1694/5) of Saint Mary's County was Robert Harding who
died 26 Nov 1568 and requested burial at St
Magnus-the-Martyr near London Bridge.
His IPM also appears in Abstracts of Inquisitiones
Post Mortem for the City of London...Tudor Period Part
II (The British Record Society, Limited; London,
1901), edited by Sidney Madge, on pp 116-117. Also, a
brief biography and an abstract of his will appears on
pp 267-269 of The Genealogist, n.s., v. XVI, edited by
H.W. Forsyth Harwood. Some deeds involving him also
are in the collection of the Worshipful Company of
Salters of London, a guild to which he belonged.
The descent from him to Richard Edelen is as follows:

1. Robert Harding, Citizen and Alderman of London
d. 26 Nov 1568 London
bur. St Magnus-the-Martyr, London

2. Anne Harding [heiress of her brother Simon Harding,
Esq.]
d. 14 Nov 1588 London
bur. 25 Nov 1588 St Andrew Undershaft, London
m. to Hugh Offley (d. 1594), Alderman and Shreive of
London

3. Thomas Offley, Esq.
chr. 10 Dec 1564 St Thomas Pountney, London
d. 23 Aug 1630 London

4. Katherine Offley
chr. 30 Oct 1600 St Dunstan in the East, Stepney,
Middlesex
m. 28 Dec 1629 Leyton, Essex to Philipp Edelen, Gent.
(ca. 1598-1656), of London and Denham,
Buckinghamshire. He was admitted a pensioner 1614 at
Emmanuel College, Cambridge; and incorporated at
Oxford in 1617. Received B.A. 1618, M.A. 1621, and
B.D. 1628. Ordained a minister of Church of England
1622. Served as rector of North Cray, Kent;
Alverstoke, Hampshire; St John Zachary, London;
Bushey, Hertfordshire; St Michael Bassishaw, London;
and Denham, Buckinghamshire. His MI at St Mary's,
Denham reads:
"Here lyeth Philippe Edelen, a man of rare endowments,
singular integrity, holy Conversation and a most
prudent solide and constant preacher of Truth in the
most difficult times wherein he lived, continuing
unmoved in the principles he had first layd and dying
a true sonne of the Church of England, March 22nd,
1656 and of his age 58."

5. Richard Edelen (d. 1694/5) of St Andrew Undershaft
Parish, London and Saint Mary's County, Maryland.



I hope this is of interest, especially the information
on Robert Harding, to Edelen descendants, of which I
am one.
