Narrative
Thomas Delano was fined for "haveing carnall coppulation" withhis wife before marriage, his wife being Rebecca, the daughterof Mayflower passenger John Alden. The Delano Genealogy has the child of thatrelationship born on the same day his father was being sentenced(official records show that this son died on 5 April 1738 in hisseventy-first year, and so would have been born circa 1667). Theparents obviously felt the shame of their situation, for they named himBenoni, a Hebrew name meaning "child of sorrow," more commonly used by NewEngland colonists for a son whose mother died at his birth.
