Francis Ralph Delano (September 6, 1842 – April 6, 1892) was an American banker and a member of the prominent Delano family.[1]
Delano was born in Lockport, New York on September 6, 1842. He was the son of Barna Ladd Delano (1807–1877) and Lavinia Wood (née Ralph) Delano (1810–1866).[2]
His paternal grandparents were Barnabas Delano and Ruth (née Ladd) Delano. Delano is sometimes confused with an older relative, Francis Roach Delano of Massachusetts, who was the first warden of the Minnesota Territorial Prison (1853–1858), first General Superintendent of the St. Paul & Pacific Railway, and namesake of what is now the city of Delano in Wright County, Minnesota.[3]
Francis Delano studied at Kimball Union Academy (in Meriden, New Hampshire), Dartmouth College and Hobart College before graduating from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut in 1865.[2]
