Guilbert de Lannoy (1545-{{Circa|1601}}) and his son Jean de Lannoy (1575-{{Circa|1605}}) were Protestants from Tourcoing who resettled in Leiden, Holland. Jean's son, [[Philip Delano]] ({{Circa|1603}} - {{Circa|1681-82}}; born ''Philipe de la Noye'' or ''Philipe de Lannoy''), was an early emigrant to the [[Plymouth Colony]] and progenitor of the prominent [[Delano family]], which counts among its descendants prominent figures in American history, including president [[Franklin Roosevelt]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Pilgrim Village Families Sketch: Phillip Delano/De la Noye|url=http://www.americanancestors.org/pilgrim-families-phillip-delano/|website=American Ancestors|publisher=New England Historic Genealogical Society|access-date=24 August 2014}}</ref>
