ing of Hurtle-Berries, and that they had no apprehenfions
of their being fo near them; The Captain fuppofed them
to be chiefly Women, and therefore calling one Mr. Dil-

Indian Language, and another named Mr. Barns ;m with
thefe two Men he takes right thro' the Swamp as faft as
he could, and orders the reft to haften after them. Capt.
248 I think this was Jonathan Delano
(DeJLauney, DeLa JVoye, Delanoy, Dal-
lanoy, Dellano, Delanoe), fon of Philip,
who came in the Fortune, in 162 1, and
was one of the firft fettlers of Duxbury.
Jonathan was born in 1648, and was
confequently near 28 years of age at
this time. He married, 26 Feb., 1678,
Mercy, daughter of Nathaniel Warren,
of Plymouth, and had eleven children.
He became one of the early fettlers of
Dartmouth (probably in his father's
right of one lhare among the 36 original
proprietors, in 1652), which would
account for his being " acquainted with
the ground." He was " commiffion-
ated " lieutenant (as I judge for his
military experience in this war), 20
May, 1690; was conftable, town clerk,
surveyor, selectman, and, in 16S9, deputy
from Dartmouth. He died 28 Dec,
1720; and his graveftone ftill remains
in the old Acufhnet burying-ground.

this and other natural conditions, is
Jonathan, fecond fon of John, of Plymouth,
1632 (probably of Yarmouth,
1639), who married Mary Plummer.
Jonathan was born 3 June, 1643, anc *
was, confequently, at this time, a little
more than 33 years of age. In March,
1664-5, with his father, he had a controverfy
with Mr. Maherlhalalhafhbaz
(an extraordinary chriftening borrowed
from Isa. viii : 1.) Dyer, of Newport,
R.-L, in regard to a floop; in which
he got the worft of it, to the amount
of £13 and his own cofts. He married,
4 Jan., 1665, Elizabeth, daughter
of William Hedge, of Yarmouth,
and had eleven children. 29 Oc5t.,
1671, he was appointed, with the
widow, adminiftrator on his father's
eftate ; 3 June, 1673, the Court gave
him, with another, liberty to act as
guardian of the children of his fifter Mary,
who had married Robert Marfhall
