Delano lineage and opium trade in early Canton saga
In a detailed reminiscence from New York dated Aug 20, a historian weighs Warren Delano and his kin, tracing links to Sara Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The piece covers Delano family smuggling of opium into Canton, maritime ventures, and the broader rise of American involvement with the China trade during the early 19th century, including allegations of piracy and colonial politics. It cites Captain Hawes on old Dartmouth lineage and notes opium decrees and local resistance in Canton moored to the Portia and Orwell ships.
