"Richard Edelen, born 1671 in St. Mary's County, Maryland, died 17 61in
Lanterman, Bryantown, Charles County, Maryland. He married (1) 1691 , in
Charles County, Maryland, Anna Maria Neale; he married (2) in 1694, in
Charles County, Maryland, Sarah Hagoe (Hagan)....Richard Edelen purch ased
and sold several large tracts of land during his lifetime but the purchase
of Lanterman from John Baptist Boarman on 12 Nov 1718 must have mad e the
greatest impact on his life as it remained in the Edelen family for several
generations. It also caused him to move from Prince George's Count ywhere
he owned several large tracts. Another tract in Charles County whic h he
owned by the name of "New York" lying on Back Creek on Cobb Neck in south-
ern Charles County also remained in the Edelen family for a number o fgener-
ations.
"His last dwelling plantation was "Askington" on the east side o f the
Zekiah Swamp near Newport, which was inherited by his grandson, Edwar d,son
of Edward, afterhis widow, Ann Craycroft, widow of Luke Gardiner, wa s de-
ceased. On this plantation the Edelen family had a chapel erected approx-
imately where St. Mary's Church at Newport now stands. This may be t he
location also of his internment, if he was not laid to rest at Lantermand,
also on the Zekiah near Bryantown. It is assumed that Ann Craycroft , his
widow, was interred with her first husband and the father of her children,
Luke Gardiner, in the family buriel plot at Warburton Manor."
