DELAND, DE LAND, originally DELANE, Philip 1, probably a French- man (as per History of Newbury), came to Newbury from Portsmouth, N.H., in 1694, with wife Margery and two children (names not given). No conveyance of real estate, or probate matter, recorded in his name in Essex County, and nothing of his personal history can be gleaned from local records. If, as it is said, he re- moved with his family to Brookfield, more can probably be learned of him from Worcester County Record of Probate and Deeds. From a letter of a correspondent the following epitaph of Mr. De Land is copied, viz. : -

DELAND.
" Humble and meek, a lowly path he trod; And while he lived on earth he walked with God; Good without show -obliging without art, His speech the faithful language of his heart; His hope was grace, and his delight was prayer,
His wish was Heaven, Oh! may we meet him there."
The foregoing shows him at least to have been an exemplary Christian, and doubt- less a member of the Church. His wife Margery d. Newbury, Aug. 26, 1694; m. (2) 1695, Jane Atkinson.
