Thank you, Father John for your reply. Yes, this about what I have come up with so far. I did not have the information on Deborah Delano's parents. I knew their were two Deborah Delano's born in Dartmouth in 1739, about, one in May and one in June. One, the dau. of Jethro and Elizabeth and the other the dau. of Thomas and Jean. You have helped clear this up a bit. I will continue to hunt for something, a will of Mary Perry (?) or other document that says that Deborah is Mary's daughter.
