He inherited from his parents a portion of the estate "Dublin" just north of the town of Piscataway and made it his dwelling plantation4. This is the same tract of land as was inhabited by his brother Edward Edelen and his family, so they must have been neighbors. In 1707 he married Jane Jones, a daughter of Moses and Elizabeth (Jenkins) Jones. At this time her father was deceased, and her mother had married Edward Edelen. Christopher Edelen and Jane Jones were married in the Church of England (otherwise know as Anglican, and later Episcopal Church) in St. John's Parish, Piscataway (ref 11). All of their children's births are also recorded here as well, establishing another line of Protestant Edelens.
