Notes for this person
Richard Edelen (1671-1760) was the oldest surviving son of Richard andElizabeth (Banton) Edelen, the immigrants (ref 4). Rather than become aplanter, 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 (ref 7), 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 late1600s or early 1700s. "Riverview", which overlooks the Potomac near St. Clements Island, is believed to be another example of his work.
The picture shown above is St. Richard's Manor, built before 1750 and listed in Maryland's National Register of Properties.
