Founded in 1991, The DELANO KINDRED is a membership society whose purpose is to establish a more perfect record of our common ancestor Philippe de Lannoy, his ancestors and descendants, their genealogy and their times.
The DELANO KINDRED also promotes camaraderie and family knowledge amoung its members via its network of cousins, newsletter Bonnes Nouvelles (Good Tidings) and family reunions. We hope you will join us!
Records at Vrouwekerk (Church of Our Lady) in Leiden, Holland list the baptism of "Philippe de Lannoy" on 7 December 1603. He was the son of Jean/Jan de Lannoy and his wife, Marie Mahieu.
In 1621, Philippe arrived in Plimoth (now Plymouth, Massachusetts) on the ship Fortune, just one year after settlers on Mayflower established the fledgling colony. He came to join his uncle and cousin, Francis and John Cooke.
Philippe married twice and had nine children who the DELANO KINDRED refer to as the American lines. His first marriage to Hester Dewsbury in 1634 produced six children: Mary, Philip Jr., Hester/Esther, Doctor Thomas, John and Lieutenant Jonathan. After Hester's death, he married the widow Mary Pontus Glass around 1653, and they had three more children: Jane, Rebecca and Samuel. Descendant members of the DELANO KINDRED trace their ancestry to these children.
The spelling of Philippe's surname has varied over time and from place to place. Philippe's baptismal record used "de Lannoy." Between Flanders, Holland and the Plymouth Colony, some other examples you'll find are de Lanoy, de la Noye, DeLannoy, Delanoy, de Lano, Lano, Dillano and DeLano. Today, we know it as Delano, and Philippe is the progenitor of the Delano family in America.
The DELANO KINDRED has several membership categories. We invite you to join us.
