The Delahuntys have almost exclusively been associated with Ferryland, although the Ferryland Census of 1800 shows two large family groups named Dullanty, one at Ferryland and one at Brigus South.
Present Status: This surname has disappeared from Ferryland District. Several Delahunty families and other descendants associated with Caplin Bay/Calvert live in other parts of Newfoundland, the rest of Canada, and the USA.
