In the Delano book you refer to do you have a record of a Joseph Delano marrying a Mary Thomas sometime before 1786, possibly in Maine? I believe that some very short time before 1786 this Mary (Thomas) Delano married (2nd) Israel Carver and they had a daughter, Mary Thomas Carver. I'm trying to verify this.

According to "The Genealogy Guide and Alliances of the American House of Delano 1621-1899" compiled by Major Joel A. Delano,1899): John Soule's 2nd wife was Esther (called Hester) Delano, daughter. of Philippe de la Noye and Hester (called Esther) Dewsbury. They were married in 1678 in Duxbury, Plymouth, MA. She was previously married to Samuel Sampson. Where did you get this information on Esther Nash Simpson? Thanks. Sarah

Actually, my previous message was partially in error, as I believe the daughter of Israel Carver and Mary (Thomas) (Delano) Carver was Lucy Thomas Carver, who married Barnabas Philbrook.
