OF FRENCH HERITAGE

PLYMOUTH COLONY MILITIA

PEQUOT WAR VETERAN

Phillippe De La Noue was a Hugenot, born of French parents and baptised in the Walloon Church. He joined the Separatist Church at Leyden. In 1621, at 19 years old, he sailed for Plymouth Colony on the ship "Fortune," arriving just after the First Thanksgiving.

"7 June 1637 Philip volunteered to serve as a soldier in the Pequot War. In 1637 about 250 colonists and 1,000 Narraganset Indians launched a surprise attack on a large Pequot village near the mouth of the Mystic River in southeastern Conn. All the Pequot braves who were not killed in battle were executed; the boys were sold to the West Indies, and the women and girls were given as slaves to the victors. Peace reigned for the next 40 years until King Philip's War. It is not recorded whether Philip actually participated in the 1637 battle." --Bonnie J. Riggs.

"DELANO, early DELANOYE, DELAUNY, or DELANOY
PHILIP, Plymouth, came in the Fortune 1621, b. of French or Flemish Protestant parents, but of the Eng. ch. at Leyden, Winslow says, and 19 yrs. old at his coming; was s. prob. of Jean and Marie de Launey, bapt. 7 Dec. 1603 in the Walloon ch. of Leyden; was freem. of that col. 1632. rem. soon after to Duxbury, m. 19 Dec. 1634, Esther Dewsbury, and next, 1657, Mary, wid. of James Glass, d. of William Pontus (tho. Ricketson makes her d. of James Churchill, wh. is wholly unkn. to me); and had ch. (of wh. we are uncert. wh. may be elder or younger, whether all, or part, by first w.) Thomas, Mary, Philip, John, ; Jane, Rebecca, Jonathan, Esther, and Samuel. But as a fam. geneal. in MS. has been giv. to me, tho. it is confin. to the descend. of Jonathan, yet as it purports to give the offspring of the Dewsbury m. three s. Samuel, Thomas, and Jonathan, beside one d. wh. d. soon, it might seem prob. that three ds. and one s. came of the sec m. He rem. to Bridgewater, was one of the purch. of Dartmouth 1652, and in 1662, of Middleborough, and d. a. 1681, a. 79 yrs. old. Mary m. 29 Nov. 1655, Jonathan Durham." --James Savage

FROM RESEARCHER DON DELANO:
"You are correct in identifying this family as the DeLaNoue family of Bretagne whose coat-armor is the "3 Wolves Heads" which was, in fact, retrieved from France and brought to America in 1722 by one of the Jonathan's, I forget which. Phil was the scion of the French Protestants that abandoned France for England in the 1570's under immense pressure from the French Crown and the Roman Catholic church. There were two branches of the family, the chief being headed by Artus DeLaNoue and the cadet branch headed by Sebastien DeLaNoue. They settled in what is now Southwark, Surrey, England, just across the Thames from London. Family tradition has it that Jonathan, father-in-law of Mercy Warren, watched from the walls of London as Cromwell's victorious forces crossed the bridge in 1646. Being 16 at the time, that puts his birth circa 1630, in England. His son Jonathan and Mercy Warren had their marriage banns posted in St Olav's church in England. Warren, by the way, is an Anglicization of "Guerin" or "Guerrin" another ancient French family from Bretagne. There were lots of closet Frenchies on the first ships like the Moulines (Mullins), Ballous (Barlows), Guerrin (Warren), you get the idea. (But NO Flemish). Meanwhile, after the DeLaNoue brothers left France, their famous cousin, Bras- De-Fer (Iron Arm) Francois DeLaNoue continued the struggle as the Huguenot commander until his untimely death in 1591. There are plenty of DeLaNoues in France, even the current Mayor of Paris, Bernard. Some spell it "DeLanoe" with an accent mark over the trailing "e". This is common in the Channel Isles. All the Walloon hype is just that, nonsense. The "French churches" from which Phil obtained letters of introduction were St Olav and St Blaise, both in England, not France. The French Calvinist churches in France were trying to be a little inconspicuous at the time, better to stay alive that way.Phil was an Englishman by birth. He probably never went anywhere before he left England for the New World. He may have crewed over to the staging area, but he never lived in continental Europe. As I mentioned, the "Speedwell" was to accompany the "Mayflower" but was taking on too much water and had to go to port in England. The following year the "Fortune" sailed with him aboard."
