Winthrop Alexander, pg 3
The earliest connected records which enable us to establish any thing like a pedigree are found in Bedfordshire in the latter part of the sixteenth century. The family then appears in the parish of Deane, in the northeastern extremity of that county, and evidently must have been located there for many years, being land owners and people of prominence. They seem to have spread into the other Midland counties of Leicester, Northampton, Hertford, Huntingdon and Buckingham, and after 1600 are found farther south, in Middlesex, Norfolk and Southampton.
The following records have been gleaned from the several sources mentioned above.
At Somerset House in London are the wills of Walter, John and Richard Dillingham.
Abstract of Noncupative will of Walter Dillingham of Over Dean, county Bedford, Yeoman, Dated 1 November, 1580.
Divided his property into three parts. One part he bequeathed to his wife "Ales". The other two parts equally amongst his six children (none of whom is named). Thomas Rolte and John his son, father and brother-in-law unto the Testator, nominated Supervisors. Agnes Palladye his maid. Wife Ales to be Executrix. Will declared in the presence of Thomas Dillingham and William Dillingham, brothers of the Testator.
Proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 1 February, 1580/1.
Mr. Henry Hartopp says that this William Dillingham, who witnessed his brother Walter's will, was in all probability the William of Cottesbach, father of Rev. Henry and grandfather of Edward and John of New England; and that a search of the parish-registers of Deane, and the wills of the Bedfordshire Dillinghams, which are recorded at Northampton. would very likely prove this relationship.
