Delia was a free black woman, the wife of Sylvanus, a free black man. Sylvanus is listed as a "basketmaker" on the local census. He owned $200.00 worth of real estate in the town of Easton, Connecticut.

Delia and Sylvanus had twelve children: Elbert, Wakeman, Aaron, Henry, Major, Abraham, Charlie, William, Francis, Moses, Fanny and Arity. It is not known if Delia was Sylvanus's first (and only) wife; it's possible Delia may not be the mother of all twelve children.

Delia died of consumption (tuberculosis) at the age of 75. She and Sylvanus are presumed to be buried in Den Cemetery with their children, Aaron and Arity, but no markers survive to attest to this. Den Cemetery is Easton's first integrated cemetery, dating from the 1820s.
