General Notes: Husband - Philip Delano

---

The Delano family went to Leyden, Holland, to escape persecution in France where the Catholic party was in power and the Inquisition active; they were French Protestants or Huguenots. Philip Delano 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 America, in the "Speedwell," which had 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 admitted a freeman January 1, 1631-33. His farm at Duxbury, granted October 2, 1637, was north of Stony or Mill brook, below the site of the late tack factory, bounded by lands of Morse and Alden, and consisting of forty acres. He was often surveyor, and frequently a member of the Grand Jury. He was a volunteer in the Pequot War, June 7, 1637. He died at Bridgewater, Massachusetts, about 1681, aged seventy-nine years. He died intestate, but left a memorandum stating his wishes and intent and this nuncupative will was allowed July 7, 1682.
