WILL LIBER 14: FF 213-214 CHARLES CO. PROBATED FEBRUARY 21, 1716
____________________________

Background- from "Clans and Families of Ireland," by John Grenham, [formerly a professional genealogist attached to the Genealogical Office and now a project manager with the Irish Genealogical Project ]:

p. 168: O'Hagan along with O'Doherty, O'Donnel, and others, is derived from the Ui Neill, the powerful tribal grouping claiming descent from Naill of the Nine Hostages, the fifth century monarch supposedly responsible for kidnapping St. Patrick to Ireland. Within the Ui Neill the two principal subgroups were the "Cineal Eoghain" and the "Gineat Conalll," claiming descent from two of the sons of Niall, Eoghan and Conall respectively. The O'NEILLS were the leading family of the "Cineal Eoghain," ruling the ancient territory of "Tir Eoghaln," comprising not only the modern Co. Tyrone, but also large parts of Derry and Donegal ....
___________________________
Thomas Hagan immigrated to Maryland. He arrived in the late summer of 1662 as a servant of John Meekes.
____________________________
-from notes of Gladys Gerding, 300 N. 4th St., St. Louis, MO (314)-241-2590

"John Meekes in open Court of Charles Co, Maryland declared Thomas Hagan a free man, 12 Aug. 1662." In 1670 he claimed land for the service he had performed. His name is found in Liber 12, Folio 594 (Skordas, p. 200.) Because Someone else paid for his transportation, Thomas had been bound to service for a set period of years, probably seven. Upon completing his service, he was allowed to claim 50 acres of land. A warrant was then issued to the surveyor directing him to lay out and survey the specified quantity of land for the applicant and return the certificate of survey to the Secretary's office. The certificate named the person for whom the survey was made, described the boundaries of the land and gave the total acreage of the tract. If the certificate was made out in proper form and there were no conflicting claims, a patera was issued gaming the land described in the certificate to the applicant. The patera was dated, sealed with the great seal of the Province and signed by the Governor, acting for Lord Baltimore in whose name the land was grained."

Aka (Facts Pg): Mary Mudd?
Will: April 08, 1721, Charles Co., Maryland

Children of Thomas O'Hagan and Mary Aisquith are:

		i.		William Hagan, born Abt. 1670; died 1772 in Charles Co., Maryland; married Mary Eleanor Hanson.
		ii.		James Hagan, born 1671; died 1749 in Charles Co., Maryland; married Elizabeth Langworth.
		iii.		Mary Hagan, born Abt. 1673; married John Baggott.
		iv.		Sarah Hagan, born Abt. 1675 in Charles Co., Maryland; died Aft. 1727 in Maryland; married Richard Edelen 1694 in Charles Co., Maryland; born 1671 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland; died 1761 in Charles Co., Maryland.

Notes for Richard Edelen:
. Richard Edelen (1671-1760) was the oldest surviving son of Richard and Elizabeth (Banton) Edelen, the immigrants. Rather than become a planter, as did his brothers, he pursued the occupation of "carpenter", which in that day meant architect, contractor, and builder. Most likely he prospered in this endeavor, as evidenced by his numerous land transactions recorded in Maryland deed records. According to reference, at least two examples of his craftsmanship still exist: "St. Richard's Manor" near present-day Pateuxant River Naval Air Station is reported to have been built by Richard Edelen for Luke Gardiner in the late 1600s or early 1700s. "Riverview", which overlooks the Potomac near St. Clements Island, is believed to be another example of his work.

Henry W. Newman lists numerous land transactions conducted by Richard Edelen in Charles, Prince George's, and St. Mary's Counties in his book Charles County Gentry. At least eighteen transactions are recorded in deeds between 1687 and 1760. In the year 1753 he paid quit rents (rent paid by freeman for the use of land as required by feudal custom) on a total of 1,630 acres in the three counties. The following is a summary of land holdings for which an approximate location has been determined. In 1714, he purchased from Luke and Anne Gardiner of Prince George's County, "Frankland" adjoining "Dublin", just north of the town of Piscataway and straddling the Tinkers Creek. Other purchases in Prince George's County near Piscataway were "Friendship" in 1687 and "Irving" in 1714, lying about 5 and 8 miles north of Piscataway respectively (near present-day Andrews Air Force Base). In 1718, he purchased from John Baptist Boarman of Charles County, the 635-acre property known as "Lanterman", lying on the north side of the run into Zakiah Swamp (named for the Zachia Indian tribe that lived in the area). Today the southern portion of Zekiah Swamp is a protected natural environment area.

Richard Edelen is believed to have had three wives. The first was Anna Maria Neale, daughter of Raphael Neale. It is believed that they had two children:

Elizabeth Edelen married John Baptist Boarman
Joseph Edelen

The second was Sarah Hagan, daughter of Thomas and Mary Hagan of Charles County. Sarah and Richard were married in 1694 in Charles County, and since she lived at least until 1727, is believed to be the mother of most of his children. His third wife, and widow, was Anne Gardiner (c. 1689-1765), daughter of Ignatius and Sophia Craycroft, and widow of Luke Gardiner mentioned above. Eight children of Richard Edelen have been verified:

Richard Edelen married Margaret Neale, daughter of Lord Neale of Woolaston Manor
Mary Edelen married Benjamin Neale (Son of Lord Neale of Woolaston Manor?)
Philip Edelen married Jane Gardiner*
Edward Edelen married Susannah Wathen
Thomas Edelen married Mary Blandford
Winifred Edelen married William Boarman
_____ Edelen married Bennett Neale
Jane Edelen married Thomas James Boarman
*they were step-brother & sister since Jane was the daughter of Anne Gardiner, Richard Edelen's third wife.

In 1760, the son Philip Edelen was deeded the 635 acre plantation "Lanterman" in Charles County , on which he resided. Richard Edelen died shortly thereafter. His will provided for his widow Anne their dwelling plantation "Assington" lying on the east side of Zekiah Swamp and located in the vicinity of the "Great Beaver Dam". Several of his children and grandchildren were provided with land in St. Mary's, Charles, and Prince George's Counties. A tantalizing portion of the will of Richard Edelen reads as follows:

"To Rev. George Hunter and his successors, in function or office, one acre of land part of a tract called St. Thomas near Newport in Charles Co., it being our family burying place and whereon our chapel now stands."

No doubt Richard Edelen conducted many of his business and civic affairs at Port Tobacco, which was the location of the Charles County Courthouse. This was a thriving market center in colonial America, located up a navigable tributary to the Potomac River. Tobacco was shipped from here in exchange for slaves and European goods. The town declined significantly after the American Revolution as tobacco prices fell and soil quality declined. The War of 1812 ravished southern Maryland, and Port Tobacco never recovered from the loss of trade. Today, the sleepy town square has been restored and is a historical landmark.
