Notes from Jonathan Delano GHAAHD:

"French by ancestry, Dutch by birth, and English by association, Philippe de Lannoy earned for himself the respect of his English neighbors and the pride of his American descendants"

Notes from: Ralph V. Wood, Jr. with preface by Dr. Jeremy Dupertuis Bangs "Francis Cooke of the Mayflower" Vol 12 General Society of Mayflower Descendants Picton Press 1996:

"Francois Coek (Francis Cook) appeared as a baptismal witness for Philippe, son of Jan de Lannoy and Marie Mahieu. On 8 Feb. 1609 Jan Carwer (John Carver) and his first wife Marie de Lannoy were admitted to the Walloon Church. It is suggested that Philip Delano very likely was the nephew, not only of Francis Cooke, but probably of John Carver who became the first governor of Plymouth Colony.1 "It is possible to see a strong Walloon connection in the Pilgrim congregation."

On 17 January 1653, Phillip Delano of Duxburrow and Mary his wife sold to John Church~ill of Plymouth a parcel of meadow sometimes the meadow of William Pontus and James Glasse deceased, being about an acre and a half [MD 5:92-93, citing PCLR 2:1:93].

MARRIAGE: (1) Plymouth 19 December 1634 Hester Dewsbery [PCR 1:32]; she died between about 1648 and 1653.

(2) By 17 January 1653[/4] Mary (Pontus) Glass, born by 1622, daughter of William Pontus ([MD 5:92]; "...

CHILDREN:
With first wife

i MARY, b. say 1635; m. Plymouth 29 November 1655 Jonathan Dunham [PCR 8:17]; she d. soon and had no children [TAG 36:243-49].

ii PHILIP, b. say 1637; m. say 1670 Elizabeth Sampson, daughter of Abraham and _____ (Nash) Sampson (called Elizabeth Delano in her grandfather Nash's will [NEHGR 52:76; TAG 15:165-67]).

iii THOMAS, b. say 1639; m. by 1667 Rebecca Alden, daughter of JOHN ALDEN ("Thomas Delanoy, and his now wife, for committing carnal copulation before marriage, fined" at October Court, 1667 [PCR 8:122]).

iv ESTHER, b. say 1641; on 1 October 1661 Abraham Pierce Jr. confessed that he had falsely accused "Rebeckah Alden and Hester Delanoy" of being pregnant [PCR 4:7]; probably m. (1) by about 1670 Samuel Samson, son of Abraham and _____ (Nash) Samson, and if so m. (2) by 1679 John Soule [Muriel Curtis Cushing, Philip Delano of the "Fortune" 1621 ... (Plymouth 1999), pp. 4-5 and arguments presented there].

v JOHN, b. say 1644; m. by about 1679 Mary Weston, daughter of Edmund Weston of Duxbury [NGSQ 71:41-43].

vi JONATHAN, b. about 1648 (d. Dartmouth 28 December 1720 in 73rd year); m. Dartmouth 28 February 1677/8 Mercy Warren, daughter of Nathaniel Warren and granddaughter of RICHARD WARREN [MFIP Warren 35-36].

With second wife
vii JANE, b. say 1655; living 1682 (settlement of her father's estate); no further record.

viii REBECCA, b. about 1657 (d. Plymouth 7 April 1709 "aged 52 years" [Bradford Kingman, Epitaphs from Burial Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts (Brookline 1892), p. 9]); m. Plymouth 28 December 1686 John Churchill [PVR 85].

ix SAMUEL, b. say 1659 [adult 1682]; m. by 1679 Elizabeth Standish, daughter of Alexander Standish (in his will of 21 February 1701/2 Alexander named "my daughter Elizabeth Delano the wife of Samuel Delano" [MD 12:101]).

ASSOCIATIONS: In the land division of 1623, MOSES SIMONSON was joined with PHILIP DELANO in a grant of land, suggesting that they may both have come from Leiden. Also in the land division of 1623, and in the tax lists of 1633 and 1634, EDWARD BUMPAS is adjacent to PHILIP DELANO. The two men at a later date held adjacent land [PCR 1:59, 66, 67]. The last three sons of Bumpas were Philip, Thomas and Samuel, names also used by Delano. These items suggest that Edward Bumpas came from Leiden with Delano in 1621, and that the two may have had some association there before that date.

COMMENTS: In a deposition of 1641 "Phillip De Lanoe of Duxbury planter" stated that he was "aged about thirty-six years"; he at that time owned a boat which he used in catching mackerel [Lechford 420].

On 3 March 1676/7 "Phillp Delano Senr" gave his age as "74 years or there about" [MD 14:64, citing PCLR 6:93].

Some sources claim that Philip Delano lived in Middleborough and Bridgewater, but this merely misinterprets his holdings of lands granted in those locations.

The number of children born to Philip Delano and their allocation between his two wives remains a vexed problem, due to the vagueness of his "will" and the almost total lack of chronological checkpoints among his children and grandchildren. In the settlement of his estate six children are identified by name: Philip, Thomas, John, Samuel, Jane and Rebecca [MD 11:250-51]. Several additional statements assist in our analysis: Samuel was the "only son to the relict of the deceased"; house and land given to "his 3 eldest ... and John hath 25 acres more at Namassakett"; five shillings apiece to "his seven eldest"; and at wife's death moveables to "his 4 youngest children."

Three additional names are known from other records: Mary (who predeceased her father, without leaving issue), Esther and Jonathan. The bequest to the "seven eldest children" implies eight or more living in 1682, and the six named in the agreement, with Jonathan and Esther added, brings us to this number.

Immigrated:
This was the first ship to follow the Mayflower to Plymouth with 35 colonists.  He is thus the founder of the American family of Delano.

Philippe married Hester Dewsbury on 19 Dec 1634 in Plymouth, MA. Hester was born in 1600 in Cranage, Cheshire, England; died before 1653 in Duxbury, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

John R. Bradfield notes:

"Marie de Mahieu of Brabant who on Jean's death, married Jean Psyn (    -1650). Portraits of Jean Pesyn, Marie and daughter are in a Walloon church alms house in Leiden."

T.N. Schellas notes:

"The painting often claimed to be of Marie Mahieu, mother of Philippe Delano is not her.  Instead the painting is of Marie de Lannoy wife of Jan Pesijn, the founder of the Jan Pesijnhof."


Jeremy Bangs notes:

"Because Hester Mahieu's mother's name was also Jenne (Jeanne), and because Hester's husband François acted as a baptismal witness for Philippe de Lannoy, a role that was frequently given to relations, it may be concluded that Mary Mahieu was almost certainly Hester's sister.  In other words, Francis and Hester Cooke were the uncle and aunt of Philip Delano."

Notes:

Married:
George English notes:

'The primary source (Leiden Judicial Archives nr. 89 vol.C., folio 142) actually reads January 13. 1596: "Jan Lano, (missed out from letter 'bachelor of Torckangie (Tourcoing), accompanied by Piere de Bu and Gijsbert de Lano, bridegroom's father with Mary Mahieu') unmarried, from Lille (N. France) accompanied by Jane (Jeanne) Mahieu, her mother and Anthonette Morth, her acquaintance".'

Notes:

Muriel Cushing notes (January 2006):

"...the Delano Kindred has taken the stand that until there is proof we only feel we can claim descendancy to the proven Guilbert, grandfather of Philippe."

From John R. Bradfield May 1979:

"Born at Toureving [Tourcoing], Flanders, became a Protestant and due to persecution moved to Leiden."

Notes from delanoye.org:

"Jan's father was Gysbert Lano (ca. 1545- ); Jan's mother is unknown. Ancestry beyond this point is not proven at this time. [Dr. Jeremy Bangs, NEHGS Register Vol. CXLIII], [City of Leiden Judicial Archives #89, Vol. C, folio 142]."

George English notes:

"In the last few months Jan 2008, new findings include that there were de Lannoys living in 20 of the 80 districts and hamlets of Tourcoing in the mid 16th Century. So, the only noble de Lannoy who could have been the father of Guilbert de Lannoy (Philippe's grandfather) was Jean's brother, Baudouin but that is very unlikely. The likelihood is that the father of Guilbert was one of the de Lannoys living in the districts/hamlets, whose ancestors probably moved from the nearby town of Lannoy many years before. At first, they would have been known as 'X of (de) Lannoy', and eventually this last name would be passed down from father to son."


"Guilbert/Gysbert de Lannoy as son of Jean de Lannoy. No genealogically acceptable proof has been found of this claim made in the 1899 Genealogy, History and Alliances of The American House of Delano, 1621-1899"

"...Tourcoing is not in Belgium...but neither was it in France in the 16th Century. It was in Flanders which was then part of the Spanish Netherlands. The French-speaking Protestants there were called Walloons (as opposed to the Huguenots from France), and suffered persecution from Charles V which got worse when his son Philip II succeeded him."

"..they went first to England..'Received as a member of the Walloon Church of Leiden, Easter 1591: Guillebert de Lannoy, his wife and their daughter Marguerite, by deposition of the Church at Canterbury' - G.A. Leiden, Archives de L'Eglise Walonne de Leyde, inv. nr. 40, [Actes du consistoire 1584-1611]."

"...this makes them the only family I know (apart from the Mahieus) who lived in 4 different countries during the Reformation."

Guilbert married Jeanne Du Bus. Jeanne and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

From:http://www.chrisman.org/pedigree/out35.htm#RIN12596

The father of Jeanne, Hester, Antoinette, Francois, and Marie was very probably Jacques Mahie u. He was a witness to the betrothal of Francoise Mahieu and Daniel Cricket. He and his wife (name not recorded) received communion in the Leiden Walloon Church on 10 Jun 1590, with letters of transfer from the Walloon Church in London, dated 30 April 1590.

He came from Lille, now in the northern part of France. Formerly it was of Walloon Flanders. Heavily protestant, the area was captured by Catholic armies under Parma in 1578, and many Walloon Calvinists fled to England directly, while others fled north towards teh Protestant cities of Bruges and Antwerp. When those cities fell in 1585, refugees went across to England or north to Zeeland and Holland. Apparently the Jacques Mahieu was among these refugees, taking with them their young daughters Mary and Franciose.

We may assume that Hester Mahieu's parents were among these refugees, taking with them their young daughters Mary and Francoise. Hester was evidently born in Canterbury, although the Walloon Church records there do not contain references to the family. It is quite possible that her father was Jacques Mahieu....
