Mary Otis Swan 1821-1898 m. Alfred Richard Edelin, 1822-1869, a.k.a. Richard
Alfred Edelin. He was a sheriff's deputy (or similar) in D.C. in the 1860s.
Someone, I don't know who, has claimed that he was the son of Richard Edelin
who was the first sheriff of D.C. We do know that he seems to have been
the heir and/or executor of William J. Edelin 1819-1859, owner of Harmony
Hall, Prince George's Co. Md., who was probably his brother. He was born
on the "Bluffwood" estate in Prince George's Co. Md., where Fort
Foote was later built during the Civil War. It was owned in 1897 by a Joanna
Edelen, b. ca. 1830, widow of Benedict Edelen.

Edelin.

5. Molly Edelin m. Florence Maloney. (His name might also have been
Floreny or Lawrence.) 1 dau., Emma Jane Maloney, m. Beck Lloyd. They had
1 daughter, Frances Otis Lloyd, who m. 1925 Harvey Daley. The Daleys, or
perhaps their son, lived around the corner from us on Calvert St. in Lyon
Village, Arlington County, Va. after WW2, (4 of the 6 houses on our block
were our relatives) and some of their descendants later lived behind my
grandmother on Wayne St. in Lyon Village in the 1970s, and their daughter
Jennifer Daley went to elementary school with me.
This is as far back as we can trace, but we do have a
medieval Edelin genealogy that explains the origin of the name.
