Talk:Stephen Delancey

Untitled
I have moved this article from Etienne DeLancey and performed some slight editing.

As DeLancey anglicized his name to Stephen upon arriving in America, it seemed ony appropriate to call him by the name he called himself. Further, as he is known for his activities in New York, and not France, the vast majority of readers will be looking for Stephen not Etienne.

Additionally, I have reformatted the article into three sections.

I also removed some repetitive links and added new ones.

Finally, there were some minor spelling and punctuational corrections to be made (eg: "wharehouse" to "warehouse" / "hiers" to "heirs").

 * He still signed his name Etienne de Lancey after he came to America and after he was naturalized. The article should be called Stephen DeLancey since it is the name by which other people commonly knew him. BradMajors (talk) 23:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

State Senator
The article states he was a State Senator (backed with a citation), but this can not be true since during this time period there was no State Senate. BradMajors (talk) 23:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

…I am also doing some research on the Senate thing. It is in possibility that a southern Colony had a senator position, a senator is one whom is involved with stated issues. Issues that are of a stated franchise are in lean to be of an ordinance. A Senator is a position of high formality. A state is something England has always used in terming. A state of Union as of one type issued during the early 1700's between England and Scotland, had made one and the other a state of a union. Scotland's Unionized Nation has brought them to issues that perhaps lead to much greater things. There's just so much to be said about that.David George DeLancey (talk) 04:46, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

…I reflected to this page from Stephen DeLancey great grand son of Stephen DeLancey born 1663, the Article is from William Howe DeLancey, Is there anything on grandson Stephen DeLanceyDavid George DeLancey (talk) 06:34, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

…Etienne is French Stephen is English, both represent the same meaning, Dutch French and German language are similar, Perhaps knowing how to speek and write in these differences help't his economyDavid George DeLancey (talk) 06:42, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunate Move
While it is certainly true that Etienne de Lancey anglicized his name for convenience in New York, he is profiled on Wikipedia under the original spelling.

This relocated article appears to have supplanted all reference to Stephen DeLancey (1748-98), a commander of the New Jersey Loyalists during the American Revolution, inspector in Canada, chief justice of Barbados and governor general of Tobago. JVTyrrell (talk) 07:18, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

...I am doing some research on this family, preferably of the Peter branch of the relations to the family in regards to the creation of the United States. I will give sir names at a later date. John DeLancey being one of this family staying in America after the revolution via the family in Nova Scotia.David George DeLancey (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:05, 10 September 2011 (UTC). ...11"41 A.M. E.S.T. 9-30-2011 I just reviewed the article; it appears it as been revised since my last note. It is of concern here of why the male branch is extinct when I'm sitting right here. It is also advised that since D.A.Story is admitted in the bottom of the Article it would be essential to locate all the family members. Could it be possible to change Edward's entry. William Heathcote DeLancey has relatives at the time of Edwards living. The DeLancey name was civily dead in France at one point in time until recovered, lets not that case appear here in this country. Thanks. The DeLancey's did go to nova scotia after the Revolutionary War. There they were again involved with Government. We may correct this and invited the Nova Scotia challenge to this great families name. At the beginning of the 20th century is when the DeLancey branch derived from the Peter branch of Peter of the Mills Westchester County New York son of Stephen (Etienne) DeLancey and, perhaps the way his name should be termed. There are also DeLancey in New Hampshire, as one is through history as selling Ice and fortifying a pond with fish.

If possible please exclude the literature stated that the male branch besides Edwards line has been extinct, this is not true. Thank You.David George DeLancey (talk) 15:57, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
