First Generation

Philip (Philippe) de la Noye (Delanoy, Delano) was baptized at the Protestant Walloon church[1] on 6 Nov 1603[2], son of Jan (Jean) Lano[3] of Tourcoing (Flanders, then part of the Spanish Netherlands now part of France, bordering Belgium), and Marie Mahieu of Lille (Flanders, later annexed to France).[4] His parents were married at that church some time after the date of their betrothal, 13 Jan 1596.[5] He was the nephew of Hester Mahieu, the wife of Mayflower Passenger, Francis Cooke.

  1. ↑ The majority of the congregation were Walloon, but it also included Flemish refugees (such as the de la Noye's and Mahieu's).
  2. ↑ Several records give his age and they all converge on 1602, so it appears there was some delay in his baptism.
  3. ↑ He was son of Gysbert de Lannoy of Tourcoing per the 1977 TAG article.

  7. ↑ Not named in her father's estate, so possibly died young.
  8. ↑ After Nathan's death, she married second 24 May 1728 Seth Howland.

  10. ↑ There was a Samuel Dilano "tertius" of Duxbury who married Pembroke 19 Dec 1716 Ruth Briggs. If this was Samuel, then his first wife died soon, likely without any children.
