Roger Delk (also spelled Dilke, Delke, or Dilk) (died before 1635) was a representative for Stanley's Hundred in the House of Burgesses. Born in England, Delk married his first wife Sarah there shortly before setting out for the Virginia Colony. Delk's wife bore a daughter, Elizabeth born April 1622 in Middlesex, London. Delk traveled from England to Virginia aboard the ship "South Hampton" in 1624. This ship had been one of Sir Walter Raleigh's ships used on his last expedition to South America. It is likely that his wife was to follow him later, but most likely died before. In any case, shortly after his arrival in the colony, he married Alice Davenport who had arrived on the same boat as he did. Roger was indentured to John Chew and employed in 1624 on his plantation on Hog Island.
