Families covered: Delafield of Fieldston, Delafield of London
| (1) Commoners reports that "This family derives its descent from the Counts de la Feld, the once powerful proprietors of the demisnes and castle near Colmar, of which the latter still bears their name." (2) We are a bit suspicious of some of the connections reported for this family. We hope to find another source on the family in due course that will give us more comfort on what is shown below. |
