Warden & Nelson families lived on or near the Piscataway River and Mattawoman Creek in Charles County for several generations. This information was found by researching Charles County, MD and Fairfax Co, VA old land records. It proves the information written on the family lineage parchment that states our Warden ancestor “came from Elgin, Scotland and settled near to Mattawoman Creek in Charles Co. in 1698.” This parchment is in the possession of our cousin, Peggy Brennan who lives in Cranbury, NJ.
