I have no info on William Delegal. However I have the will of a Philip
Delegal from Island of Guernsey, his will is dated 1762 and probated 4 Jan
1769. He names his children, but no William. Maybe this will give you some
clue as to possible origin of the DeLegals.

None of the decendants that I have is William, but my Delegal info is very
sketchy. Mostly from the will noted below.
