Notable descendants of Philip Delano (1602-1683) Dutch native that joined the pilgrim in Plymouth Colony in 1621. In the United States, members of the Delano family include U.S. presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) and John Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933), and astronaut Alan B. Shepard. Its progenitor was Philippe de Lannoy (1602–1681). He was a Dutch Pilgrim associated with the Leiden Separatists of Walloon descent arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in the early 1621 on the Fortune.

A great many of his offspring would become prominent mariners, whalers, and shipbuilders. The later commercial success of some Delanos was such that they would become part of the Massachusetts aristocracy, sometimes referred to as one of the Boston Brahmin (the "First Families of Boston").
