• Notes

  Yellis Jansen de Mandeville of Garderen, Holland, and Greenwich Village on Manhatten Island. Yellis is the founder of the family in this country and is traced as early as 1657, at Voorthuizen, a village near Garderen in Holland. His father's name was Jan, perhaps that Jan Jansen who in 1627, was candidate at the Reformed Church at Koolwyck, also near Garderen, and died at the latter place in 1657. The Garderen marriage and baptismal regesters before 1664, are lost, but there is a tombstone in the ancient church there, to a younger son of the de Mandeville family who died 14, October 165_. Yellis de Mandeville came to America on the De Trouw (Faith), 12 February, 1659, with his "wife and four children of 1 1/4, 5, 6 and 9 years." Yellis is called Gilles Jansen van Garder. (Garderen in the Veluwe, Guelderland, Holland.) He paid f50 for the passage of his wife and himself, and f10 for each child, or 90 guilders in all. Gillis's name was on the list of the vessel Moesman, in April, 1659, indicates that he was not a passenger, but a debtor to the Dutch West India Company, for a small sum advanced by them. Yellis probably lived for a time somewhere on Long Island. Two of his children were from New Amersfoot (Flatlands. Gilles Jansen Mandiviel and his wife Elsje Hendrick were members of the New York Dutch Church, 31 May, 1677, and Jillis, Elsje and Grietie Mandeviel were living above the ancient pond Kalch-Hock in 1686. The Mandeville estate extended from below 14th street to 21st street, though not parallel to either, and from the Hudson River to Warren Road.
