On 30 October 1667 ThomasDelano was fined for "having carnall coppulation" with his wife Rebecca before their marriage. The Delano genealogy has the child of that relationship born on the same day his father was being sentenced. Thomas and Rebecca may have felt the shame of their situation, for they named the child Benoni, the name meaning "child of sorrow" in Hebrew but more commonly used by the colonists for a son whose mother died in childbirth.2,3
