Dellius, Godfriedus

Dellius, Godfriedus a minister of the Reformed Church in Holland, was sent to America in 1683 as assistant to the Reverend Gideon Schaats, in Albany. Mr. Dellius was also an active missionary among the Mohawk Indians. The last ten years of his pastorate exhibit a record of political complications, and his name appears very often in the Documentary History of N.Y., the Colonial History of N.Y., and other records of the time. Of his last days we have no notice. See also Corwin, Manual Ref. Church in America; Dr. Rogers's Historical Discourse, page 17. (W.J.R.T.)
