Philippe Delano (De Lannoy)

The birth of Philippe de Lannoy is recorded at Leiden on December 7, 1602. Events 43 BC - Marcus Tullius Cicero assassinated 1696 - Connecticut Route 108, one of the oldest highways His recorded parents are Jan Lano (born Jean De Lannoy in 1575 at Tourcoing) who died in 1604 at Leiden and Marie le Mahieu of Lille. Tourcoing is a city and commune in the Nord department and Nord-Pas de Calais region of France. Lille (lil Rijsel is a city in northern France. It is the principal city of the Lille Métropole, the fourth-largest Metropolitan area in the country His mother remarried in 1605. Philippe's grandfather, Guilbert De Lannoy of Tourcoing, was an early Protestant who left the mainland with his family for England probably in the early 1570s and then, in 1591, took refuge in Leiden. Protestantism refers to the forms of Christian faith and practice that originated in the 16th century Protestant Reformation. The Mahieus had arrived in Leiden from England in 1590, the year before the de Lannoys. The family name de Lannoy may derive from the small town of Lannoy (which originates from the Latin “alnetum” or French “l’aunaie” meaning “alder plantation”), east of Lille. There is no evidence to substantiate claims that Philippe's father was of noble descent.

Journey to America

His father dead since infancy and his mother remarried, Philippe de Lannoy was a member of the Leiden Walloon Church (Waalse Kerk) and later entered the separatist congregation established by the Pilgrims from Plymouth, England under the leadership of the English pastor of the pilgrim fathers, John Robinson. Separatism refers to the advocacy of a state of cultural ethnic tribal religious racial or gender separation from the larger group often with demands for greater political autonomy Plymouth ( is a city and unitary authority area on the coast of Devon, England about south west of London. Pilgrims, or Pilgrim Fathers (or Pilgrim Mothers) is a name commonly applied to the early settlers of the Plymouth Colony in present-day Plymouth redlinks John Robinson (sociologist, American sociologist John Robinson (drummer, American drummer John Robinson (musician The decision to relocate the group to America came early in 1619. Deacon John Carver and Robert Cushman, who had business experience, were sent to London to negotiate the move with the London Company. John Carver (1576&ndash1621 Pilgrim leader and the first governor of Plymouth Colony, born probably in Nottinghamshire, England Robert Cushman ( 1578 - 1625) was one of the Pilgrims. He was born in the village of Rolvenden in They carried with them articles of belief, written by Robinson and Brewster, as evidence of their loyalty and orthodoxy. The Leiden Separatists bought the ship Speedwell in Holland, and Philippe, with his uncle Francis Cooke and cousin John boarded the ship with the others at Delftshaven whence it sailed to Southampton, England to meet the Mayflower, which had been chartered by the English merchant investors. The Speedwell was a 60-ton Ship, the smaller of the two ships (along with Mayflower) intended to carry the Pilgrim Fathers to Francis Cooke ( 1583 &ndash 7 April 1663 Plymouth Massachusetts) was one of the 102 passengers on the Mayflower. The Mayflower was the famous Ship that transported the English Separatists better known as the Pilgrims, from Southampton, England There they joined with other Separatists and the additional colonists hired by the investors. The two ships began the voyage, but the Speedwell leaked so badly that the expedition had to return to England, first to Dartmouth and then to Plymouth. Plymouth ( is a city and unitary authority area on the coast of Devon, England about south west of London. Finally, Speedwell was sold and Mayflower set out alone from Plymouth, England. Ten Speedwell passengers (including Francis and John Cooke) joined the Mayflower. Philippe and the others remained behind in England until a replacement ship, the Fortune, finally sailed for Plymouth Colony in early July 1621, arriving at the Plymouth Colony on November 9.
