Notes for Captain Luke Gardiner:
Luke Gardiner was transported into the province on August 9, 1637 with Reverend Thomas Copley, S.J. Luke Gardiner was completing his education with the Jesuits before joining his parents in the new Colony of Maryland. (Colonial Settlers St. Clements Bay 1634 -1780 St. Mary's County, Maryland by Mary Louise Donnely.)

In 1642 when the Puritans had their rebellion in Maryland, the Manor and Plantation of Richard Gardiner, a Catholic, was seized. The Gardiner's took refuge in Rappahonnock, Virginia during the rebellion. LUKE GARDINER and his Sister JULIANA returned to Maryland in 1647 and LUKE GARDINER tried to
obtain his father's property which had been confiscated, along with other Catholics' property(Patents AB&H:4). In 1650 LUKE GARDINER transported RICHARD GARDINER his Father and his 2nd wife and their young daughter JULIANA, his Brothers and sisters, and two servants back to the province of
Maryland(Patent 1:167-168) The record states "LUKE GARDINER's mother was deceased". Because of the hardships they suffered while in exile, all of the family died shortly after returning to Maryland except LUKE. On 8/26/1651 LORD BALTIMORE instructed GOVERNOR WILLIAM STONE to re-Grant "St.
Richard's" to LUKE GARDINER, the son and Heir of RICHARD GARDINER.

Children of Thomas Jenkins and Susan Spalding are:

Elizabeth Jenkins, born 1678 in Pope's Creek, Charles Co., Maryland; died Bef. 1731; married (1) Moses Jones; died Abt. 1705; married (2) Edward Edelen 1705 in Maryland; born Abt. 1676 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland; died Abt. March 30, 1756 in Prince George Co., Maryland.

Notes for Edward Edelen:
From his parent's estate of 1695, he inherited a portion of the tract "Dublin" north of Piscataway in Prince George's County and lying east of the Tinkers Creek, and made this his dwelling place (ref 4,9). In addition to being a planter, a 1719 land transaction referred to Edward Edelen as "carpenter", so, like his brother Richard, he may have pursued this additional occupation.

Around 1707 he married Elizabeth (Jenkins) Jones of Prince George's County, the widow of Moses Jones and daughter of Thomas and Anne Jenkins. From this union, Edward Edelen acquired the tracts "Thomas Chance" and "Pinner" both located just east of Piscataway.

Children of Edward Edelen and Elizabeth (Jenkins) Jones-Edelen were:

Sarah Edelen married Samuel Queen
James Edelen married Salome Noble

Both of these births are recorded in the Anglican Church in St. John's Parish. It is unknown whether this signaled a conversion from Catholicism to the Church of England for Edward Edelen, but likely his wife was a member of the established church as evidenced by her daughter by Moses Jones being married in the established church.

Other land that came into the possession of Edward Edelen included a portion of "Calvert Manor" which is located at the present-day Piscataway Park and surrounding areas on the Potomac River, "Littleworth" near Piscataway, "Little Ease" located adjacent to 'Thomas Chance", "No Name" lying on the Swanson Creek near where it joins the Patuxent River, and "Never Fear".

Court records show that Elizabeth (Jenkins) Jones-Edelen was deceased by 1731, and her share of her father's estate passed to her children Sarah (Edelen) Queen and James Edelen. Edward Edelen's will was probated in 1756, which granted to his son James the plantations "Thomas Chance", "Little Ease", and "Littleworth". His brother Christopher was granted "Dublin" on which he was then residing. Grandson Henry Queen was bequeathed "Pinner" which later passed into the hands of Henry's sisters Catherine (Queen) Edelen and Sarah (Queen) Jameson (ref 4).
