An Intersting Day

[L Verge]

I should have mentioned that Secretary Johnson believes that he has ties to Southern Maryland. He is African American, and his mother's maiden name was "Edelin." From what the family can tell, that is the name taken by the family after emancipation and was likely tied to the "Edelen" family that had owned them in either southern Prince George's or northwestern Charles County, Maryland. The Edelens were known secessionists during the Civil War in this area.

On Friday, he noticed "Edelen Acres" on a sign in front of a house near Bryantown Tavern, and that brought up his conversation with Lindsey. Proof again, that one cannot escape history - especially assassination-related history.
