THE DELANO AND COOKE ANCESTORS
The INTREPID de LANNOYS and MAHIEUS from FLANDERS
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
In 1620, the Mayflower sailed to New England, followed in 1621 by the Fortune. Almost all of the passengers were English Pilgrims, and their story is well known. On the Mayflower was Francis Cooke, with son John Cooke, whose wife was Hester Mahieu. Philippe de Lannoy, son of Jean de Lannoy and Marie Mahieu, Hester’s sister, was on the Fortune.
The de Lannoys and Mahieus came from French-speaking Flanders, and their extraordinary and fascinating story was very different to that of the English Pilgrims. Their families had lived under persecution by their Spanish Catholic rulers, then fled to Canterbury in England. Later, they went to Leiden in Holland, nearly 20 years before the English Separatists arrived.
