Adalgrim Took

Adalgrim Took, a Hobbit (or halfling), was born in 2880 T.A.(Third Age). His parents were Hildigrim Took and Rosa Baggins Took.

Adalgrim had four daughters and one son. The youngest of his daughters was Esmeralda Took Brandybuck, the mother of Meriadoc Brandybuck. Adalgrim's son was Paladin Took II, the father of Peregrin Took.

Although Adalgrim was never Thain of the Shire, his son Paladin became Thain on the death of Thain Ferumbras III, Paladin's cousin.
