Note on Husband: Thomas * DELANO

Thomas Delano was fined for "haveing carnall coppulation" with his now wife before marriage, (his wife being Rebecca, the daughter of Mayflower passenger John Alden), fined the sume of ten pounds The Delano Genealogy has the child of that relationship born on the same day his father was being sentenced (official records show that this son died on 5 April 1738 in his seventy-first year, and so would have been born circa 1667). The parents obviously felt the shame of their situation, for they named him Benoni, a Hebrew name meaning "child of sorrow," more commonly used by New England colonists for a son whose mother died at his birth.

 

Court records from Plymouth Colony court held 1 Oct 1661: "Whereas I Abraham Peirce, Juni'r, have follishly and unadvisedly reproted to Ruth Spargue and Bethyah Tubbs, att the house of Francis Sprague that Rebeckah Alden and Hester Delanoy were with child, and that thereupon wee should have young troopers within three qurters of a yeare, I doe freely and from my hart owne my fault herein, and am hartily sorry that I have so spoken, to theior great reproch and wroge and the defamation of theire relations, which I earnestly desire may bee passed by of them all; and I hope I shall for ever heerafter take heed what I doe speake and report of any att any time.

 

Magistrate John Alden was one of the judges presiding where Peirce made his apology. I guess Peirce made a big mistake when he slandered the daughter of a judge.

DELANO-The name is derived from Lannoy, a village siuated seven miles from Little France. The family is traced to Hugues de Lannoy, a knight of "Tournia d' Auelin in 1096. Came to New England in 1621. Having turned Protestant and becoming an American he changes De Lannoye ( also spelled de la Noyes ) to Delanos. Therefore their son was Jonathan Delano.He came to America to try to marry Pricilla Mullins. She had been in love with his older brother in Holland. When her parents took her to America, Philippe's older brother married another so Philippe decided to give it a try. Pricilla did not want any of his Flemish blood and married John Alden. Remember the story of Miles Standish asking John Alden to ask Pricillia if she would marry him ( Miles ) Pricilla said speak for yourself John and she married John. Philippe went out and fought Indians for a few years. He got land for fighting in the Pequot indian War and then married Hester Dewsbury in 1633 and sought admission to the Pilgrim community after joining the church. The first time his Norman-Flemish blood had been violated was when one of his sons, Thomas Delano, got Pricilla and John Alden's daughter, Rebecca, pregnant and there was a shotgun marriage. Thomas's Father-in-Law, John Alden, presided at a court hearing on Oct 30, 1667 where Thomas Delano was fined 10 pounds for having carnal copulation with his now wife before marriage. I have a copy of the court proceedings from early colonial records.The son was David Delano and not our line. According to the story they were banished to the wilderness where they built a cottage on land gifted by John Alden.
