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.

Notes:

Excerpt from Connecticut, 1600s-1800s Local Families and Histories: "John Alden, immigrant ancestor, was born in England in 1599. He joined the Pilgrims on the "Mayflower" at Southampton as the ship was on its way to America. When the ship stopped there for supplies, he was hired as cooper. He had not been with them at Leyden, and was probably not a member of the independent church, but soon joined. He cast his fortunes with the Pilgrims, after enduring the hardships of that first terrible winter at Plymouth, when so many died. He was doubtless influenced in this decision by his love for Priscilla Mullens, th story of which, with some embellishments, is told in the " Courtship of Miles Standish." She was the daughter of William Mullens, who came on the "Mayflower" with his family. John an Priscella were married in the spring of 1621. When the common property of the cololy was divided in 1627, Alden went with Captain Standish, Elder Brewster, John Howland, Francis Eaton and Peter Brown, to Mattakeeset, the Indian name of the territory now included in Duxbury, Marshfield, Pembroke, Hanson and Bridgewater, Massachusetts. For several years they were obliged to return to Plymouth during the winer season to combine all their forces against the possible Indian attacks. The residence at Plymouth in the winter also gave them an opportunity to attend worship, and the records show a written agreement of Alden and others in 1632 to remove their families to Plymouth in the winter. In 1633 Alden was appiointed assistant to the governor, an office which he held for nearly the whole of the remainder of his life, serving with Edward Winslow, Josiah Winslow, Bradford, Prince and Thomas Hinckley. From 1666 until his death, he held the office of first assistant, was often called the deputy governor, and was many times acting governor in the absence of the governor. From 1640 to 1650 he was also deputy to the colonial council from Duxbury...... He was one of the council of war, many times an arbitrator, a surveyor of lands for the government as well as for individuals, and on several important occasions was authorized to act as agent or attorney for the colony. He was possessed of a sound judgment and of talents which, though not brilliant, were by no means ordinary........
