Hello,
You can see below what I first said about Blanche Edelen. I was thinking you menat my great aunt Blanche. But upon looking further back, you were right about JBE being father of the Blanche you are looking for. Here is her and her siblings frmo my file. I hope it is of some help or interest:
-----------------------
ISSUE:
1. William M. Edelen, b. abt. 1857 (1870 census says he was 14 & 1880 says 23; a years difference making him born in either ‘46 or ‘57).)
2. Blanch Edelen, b. abt 1859 (said to have married Mr. William Naylor of Washington, D.C. had at least two kids)
3. C.H.L.B Edelen, b. 1861 (could be possibly one and the same with Blanche above)
4. *Charles Jenkins Edelen, b. 1863--d.-m-Olivia Attawa Middleton.
5. Mary Rose Edelen, b. 1873.
-------------------------
Here is my first post or reply: Blanch Middleton Edelen was my great aunt and yes my line of Edelens were from Piscataway, Pg Cty, Md. But Joseph Benedict Edelen and his wife, and cousin, Clara Edelen were Blanche's grandparents, not her Parents. Her Parents (who were my gr. grandparents) were Charles Jenkins Edelen and Olivia Attawa Middleton, who had like 12 kids, including my grandfather David Middleton Edelen. She also had a brother named Joseph Benedict Edelen who died in WWI. He too is buried in the same cemetery with her. Here is an excerpt from my file I put together (I have a pic of Blanche. She was beautiful):
---------------------
1. Blanche Middleton Edelen, b. 1893--d. 3/1/1930. Buried in St. Mary's Catholic church Cemetery in Piscataway, Md. Said to have been a wonderful, kind, warm hearted Christian lady by her sister Elizebeth ("Betsi"). Blance married Clinton Augusta Baden issue: (A.) Mary Blanche Baden, b. 1930 - m - Mr. Massey.
----------------------
If she was ever married to a Mr. Naylor, it is a marriage I am not aware of. But she might have had another husband. My dad moved to Alabama with my mom during WWII and I was raised up down here and never met any of my great aunts and uncles but three, which were Blanche's brother William Alexander Dent Edelen, sisters Pauline Edelen and Eliz "Betzi" Edelen.
