"GILLIS JANSEN DE MANDEVILLE, from Garderen, in the Veluwe, Gelderland, and ancestor of the American family of Mandeville, came out in this vessel [The Faith, a private trader going to the Manhattans which sailed Feb. 13, 1659, with nearly 100 passengers]; as did his neighbor, also a farmer, Wouter Gerritsen, from Koetwyck, some three miles from Garderen and likewise Jan Meynderts, already named. The last two will appear at Harlem. Gillis (often written Yellis) or Giles de Mandeville was accompanied by his wife Elsie Hendricks, and four children, having two born afterward, one being David. Yellis bought a farm at Flatbush, which he finally gave to his eldest son Hendrick, and got the grant of another, of 30 acres, at Greenwich on Manhattan Island, laid out to him Dec. 5, 1679, and patented Dec. 30, 1680. Here he died between 1696 and 1701. All of his children married. He had but the two sons, both of whom left descendants; David remained on the farm at Greenwich. Hendrick removed from L. I., to Pequannock, N. J. These have given several pastors to the Reformed Church, including Rev. Giles Henry Mandeville, D. D." James Riker's "History of Harlem", 1881, NY; Ch. 5, Pg. 111.
