The son of John Delaplane, his mother parentage has not been established.
The land on which the village of Double Pipe Creek (currently Detour, Md) now stands and the surrounding vicinity embracing about 600 acres called "Prosperity", was in 1794 owned by Joshua Delaplane, in which year he founded a large grist mill with a capacity of 100 barrels of flour per day, on the Frederick Co. side of the stream of Double Pipe Creek. Joshua Delaplane was a manufacturer of some note in his day and carried on not only the grist mill, but a woolen mill, and a sawmill on the opposite side of the creek in Carroll County, with sawmill attached to said Wollen mill. The woolen mill still stands, but no looms have made music within its walls for these many years (since 1849).
The said Joshua Delaplane in 1835 sold his mill properties and land in the vicinity to Henry Waesche, and from 1835 to 1847, no changes of any consequence occurred. In 1849 Henry Waesche sold the milling properties to Henry McKinstry, and a few years later the land was purchased by Elder Daniel P. Saylor.

Big Pipe Creek flows from the southeast to the town of Detour (Formerly Double Pipe Creek). Little Pipe Creek flows from the south of the town. Both of these creeks converge creating Double Pipe Creek on which the mills were located. Early Delaplane lands on which the mills existed on both sides of Little Pipe Creek (now Detour, MD) was based on land "Resurvey of Terra Rubra, Six Brothers, Stoney Ridge, etc.). (Reference: Frederick County, MD Chancery Court Index 1761 - 1850).
