 To T. T. Delano, who asks for the origin Of the name Delano. and something of the early record of the family
 It was Jean de Lanneaby, a French Huguenot, who, because of the expulsion he had suffered for his religion, turned from all that wealth and honor and posi- ton and heritage could offer and set his face toward Leyden, Holland By his wife, whose portrait still hangs in the museum of Leyden, and who came of a distinguished Brabant family, he had son, Phillipe, whose name is usually spelled de la Noye. He was born in France in 1902 before his fathers expulsion and baptized In Leyden the following year. Here he joined in with the English Puri- tans and with them came to the new world in the ship Fortune. He settled in Plymouth, where he married Mary Pontus. widow of James Glass.
 Philippe had the following children: Mary, who married Jonathan Dunham Esther, who married Samuel Sampson, and John Soule; Phillip who married Mary Alden fha 6anPbtar of ha v,aH Dri1 ella and John Alden; John who married Mary Weston; Jane, who died unmarried Jonathan, who married Mercy Warren; Rebecca, who married John Churchill, and Samuel, who married Elizabeth Churchill.
 John Delano and Mary Allen were the ancestors of a goodly line of the family one branch of which is settled at Sodus Center, N. Y. Probably the most distin- guished descendant of the Delanos in this country was Gen. U. S. Grant This great man traced his descent through Jon athan Delano. son of Phillipe and his wife. Mary Warren. They had a son, Jonathan, who had 1S children. the fifth daughter of whom was Susannah. born June 6, 174 She married Noah Grant, when she was 22 and he was 2S. and they, through their son, Capt. Noah Grant, became the great grandparents of the distinguished gen. eral.
 To T. G., who asks for the origin of the name Graham:
 Tradition has it that the Graham fam fly is descended from Graeme who in the time of Fergus IT. in the fifth century defended the old Roman wall in Britain built by Severus.
 This wall was between the flrths of the Clyde and the Forth. Graeme, valiantly defended the wall, and since that time 1t has been called Graemes or Graham's wall or dyke.
 It seems that he was called Grneme on account of his valor-the world being Apglo-Saxon for fierce, brave couraseous
 In Holland the word Is grim or grimm In Wales, grem; in Gaelic, gruaim; grim in Gaelic was the word for battle. So the Grahams undoubtedly come of warlike stock; the gallant Grahams" is a we'll known term in Scotland
 Cream Is another spelling. There is an old Morse word gramr grernr meaning fierce, also king, and Chrimes and Crin- min are the high German forms.
