Notes:

Excerpt from "Connecticut, 1600s-1800s Local Families and Histories: New England Families, Vol. IV Genealogies and Memorials":

The Delano family is of ancient origin and of royal descent. They were of pure Orman and Flemish blood,in France, and did not intermingle with the French. The family has several royal lines, as is the case with those of royal blood, because of intermarriages, and among their ancestors are: Ruolf, first Duke of the Normans, a Viking, 860: Richard the Fearless; Richard the Good; Robert the Devil; William the Conqueror, King of England and Duke of Normandy; Henry II., King of England; Henry VI, marries Agnes, a descendant of Alfred the Great; Emperor Charlemagne, and many others.

The Delano family went to Leyden to escape persecution in France where the Catholic party was in power and te Inquistion active; they were French Protestants or Huguenots. Philip grew up under the teachings of the separatists of the Established Church of England, and it is thought that he started with the first company of Pilgrims for this country, in the "Speedwell", which had to put into Dartmouth because of a leak. He remained in England until the "Fortune" sailed, the next summer, in 1621, then aged nineteen years, and in 1624 he had a grant of land at Plymouth. This grant he gave up, as he settled in Duxbury, Massachusetts.

He was often surveyor and frequently a member of the grand jury. He was a volunteer in the Pequot War, June 7, 1637.

Excerpt from "Philip Delano of the Fortune 1621": Philip Delano served on the Plymouth Grand and Petit juries, on the committee to view "the hay grounds", as a surveyor, and volunteered to serve n the Pequot War. In 1633, he was in the first list of Plymouth Colony Freemen.
There is no probate record for Philip Delano. An inventory taken and exhibited to the Court on 4 March 1681/2 on the "oath of his son Samuel" mentions only the personal estate with no real estate involved.

Philip married Hester DEWSBURY on 19 Dec 1634 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA. Hester died before 1653. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
