Biography

Thomas Delano Sr was a son of a Huguenot emigrant (1540-1790).

[9][10]

Given the relatively small population of the New England colonies in the 17th century and the difficult circumstances of new arrivals, intermarriage among established families was frequent. Delano descendants sometimes find that they can trace their lines back to more than one of Dr Thomas's children.

Additional Material

This material was moved from the biography of his first wife, who was a daughter of John Alden. Some older sources give her first name as Mary. It has been shown conclusively that her first name was Rebecca.

11. Mary 2 [Corrected to Rebecca 2 Alden, daughter of (John1). Born in Duxbury, about 1643; married 1667, Thomas Delano, son of Philip Delano and Hester (Dewsbury) Delano. One authority says he was born March 21, 1642. Mary, his wife, died after her father's death, and before Oct. 24, 1699, when he married "widow Hannah Bartlett." I think she was the widow of William Bartlett, who left her with one child, Mary, who married John Turner. William Bartlett was the son of Benjamin and Ruth (Pabodie) Bartlett. Thomas Delano died April 15, 1723. He makes no mention of his second wife, so she was probably dead. This will is to be found in Plymouth Probate Records, Vol. 4, p. 388. In this will and elsewhere he is called Doctor. It is dated Oct. 5, 1722. Inventory taken by John Alden and Samuel Weston, April 29, and proved May 6, 1723. He gives "to eldest son Benoni, 5 shillings. To Thomas, jr., J of lot of land in Middleboro, to Jonathan a beech lot (swamp), to David 5 shillings, to daughter Mary best bed and furniture, to Sarah Drew 5 shillings, Ruth Drew next best bed. Granddaughter Deborah Weston executrix, and Joseph Delano, son, executor. Witnesses, Hannah Alden, Samuel Weston and Joshua Delano.[11]

Since it seems to be accepted that the De la Noye family was not French, is it appropriate to have the French Huguenot badge on this profile?
posted by Alan Pendleton
Smith-32867 Jillaine Smith
Sigh...this is an old debate. It is true that he was not French. However his immigrant father is recognized by the Huguenot Society of America as a Huguenot. WikiTree's Huguenot project should make a decision about what to do in such situations.

"French Huguenot" is merely a label that has evolved to represent the general case, but is not necessarily all-inclusive. It's clear that the De La Noyes were Huguenot. "French Huguenot" is the label that history has assigned; English is an imperfect language.

Smith-32867 Jillaine Smith
How, besides the HSA saying so, do we know that they were Huguenots?
posted by Jillaine Smith
Jim Moore
The label says that he is a "descendant". If you look at the father's bio, you will find the source.

Smith-32867 Jillaine Smith
When I worked on the father's profile a couple of years ago, it did not have the opening paragraph which is a quote from an unsourced Smithsonian article. The rest of his father's profile distinguishes the Walloons from the Huguenots. So according to his father's profile, he was a Walloon, which is distinct from a Huguenot. I believe there is a very long g2g thread associated with his father's profile where we thrashed this out.

I took another look at the cited article by D. Alden Smith. I now agree with Becky. Hannah (Unknown) Delano should be removed as a spouse of Dr. Thomas Delano.

I see that a marriage to Mary Alden is listed. Isn't that simply a confusion with Rebecca Alden?
posted by Jim Moore

Where is your documented proof of the marriages to Rebecca Alden and Hannah (Unknown) You won't be able to use these unless you can prove them.

Note: I just went to the link on the bio for a marriage. It says Mary Alden. Which is it? Mary or Rebecca? Where did you find Rebecca? Why wasn't Mary used? There is a marriage date and location. Source was from: William Richard Cutter, A. M., Genealogy - Boston and Eastern Massachusetts (Lewis Historical Publishing Company, New York, 1908) but no page number. You need that. Find the page number and then document it.

This profile needs a lot of cleaning up as well as corrections to the data, if you want this line to be connected to FDR and AJ Jacobs.

Thanks for your assistance and your response is appreciated.

The probate records for John Alden (see his profile) prove that Mary Alden was still Mary Alden (single) in 1688, Thomas Dilano also signed the document the document in 1688. He was married by 1667 so could not have been married to Mary.
