Regards, Andrea (list concierge) Message Board Post as follows: I have been researching and trying to prove or disprove that Thomas DELANEY b. 1662, Ireland is son of Gideon DE LAUNCE. Our line goes from Thomas to his son Joseph b. 1682, Ireland haven't seen the name Gideon show up elsewhere in our direct line. I have put a time line together of my notes and would appreciate any information on this family or advice. It is said Joseph, son of Thomas, was born in Kilkenny, which makes the William that enter Kilkenny College 1704 a possibilty as a brother or cousin.
