• Notes

  Giles Jansen de Mandeville was a large landowner in Dutch New York. He owned 126 acres of prime Manhattan real-estate in the 17th century. The Mandeville estate extended from below 14th Street up to 21st Street from along the Hudson River to along Warren Road. This part of Manhattan is now known as Greenwich and Chelsea, but has also been called Sappokaniken, Shappanaconk, or New Nordwyck. De Mandeville also owned meadows on the mainland across the Hudson River from Manhattan island. Sex: Male. Birth: Netherlands in 1624. Death: 22 May 1701 Flatbush, Kings, NY Father: Jan Johannes Michaelsz Mandeville, Mother: Trintjen Wilms The De Mandeville lineage originates in Normandy, at Place du Champ de Mars, Saint-L?, Lower-Normandy, France; and then for centuries in England before arriving in the Netherlands. Yellis de Mandeville sailed to America on the ship "De Trouw" (Faith) in 1647 arriving in Nieuw Nederlands (later called New York) with his wife and baby daughter. His wife was Elsje Hendricks b. 1627. They married in Holland in 1647 and had 7 or 8 children: New York Genealogical and Biographical Record - Vol. 69, page 222 Gillis Jansz (de) Mandeville and his wife Elsje Hendricks with four children came to America in 1659 sailing from Holland February 12, on the "Faith" (HSYB 1902) On the passenger list Gillis Jansz is indicated as coming "from Garden", that is from Garderen, a village in the northwest corner of the province of Gelderland, Netherlands. In record 38 (1907):284 there has been published a genealogy of the de Mandeville Family [see page 67 of this record.] In this article a few data are given concerning his presumed relatives in the Netherlands and it is there stated that Gillis was possibly a son of Jan Jansz de Mandeville a candidate minister at Kootwijck near Voorthuysen village in the immediate neighborhood of Garderen. Gillis was indeed a son of Rev. John (Jan) de Mandeville whose full name was, however, not Jan Jansz but Jan Michaelsz de Mandeville. At the end of the 16th century there lived at Nymegan, a city in the province of Gelderland, Dr. Med. Michael Jansz de Mandeville. His family originated in France, and Mandeville is the name of two villages in Normandy, one in the Department of Eure, the other in Calvados. With the Norman conquest of England, the de Mandeville family became feudal barons in England for centuries. The English War of the Roses, the Protestant Reformation, the English Civil War, and the beheading of King Charles I of England, presented a series of ongoing danger to the noble classes in England, and a member of the De Mandeville line and many other Englishmen of noble lineage moved to Holland, which at the time, had become the most vibrant economy, center of trade, and intellectual and artistic center of Northern Europe. In 1601, Dr. Michael was appointed "ordinaus Medicus" and rector or principal, of the Latin School at Nymegan. Through his supervision he improved the practice of Medicine there and there his own pracitce demanded so much of his time that in 1607 the magistracy asked him to resign as principal of the Latin School in order to devote his entire time to medicine. In 1617 he and seven of his children received the burgherright of Nymegan and the next year he was honored by being appointed a schepen and a number of the city council of the city of his adoption. In 1635 the plague raged at Nymegen. Ministering to the sick to the last he played a heroic part. He finally was stricken himself and succumbed to the dreaded disease. A grateful city honored his memory providing a college education for his children and by appointing first his son Dr. Emanuela and fterwards the latter's son Dr. Geraltheus to the position of city physician. Dr. Michael de Mandeville had married Maria Van de Rade, a daughter of Aegidius (Gillis) Van de Rade and Sara, his wife. Eleven children were born to Dr. Michael and his wife. The oldest son Jan, the father of the American de Mandeville settlers, was born about 1601. On March 3, 1623, he entered Leiden University. His name was entered as "Johannes Mandeivijl, 22 (years old) T(heology)". Four years later he was joined there by his younger brother Emanuel who took the course of medicine. Emmanuel de Mandeville was responsible for fighting the bubonic plague in the town of Nijmegen with his colleague and medical partner Jsbrand van Diemerbroeck. In 1635 a hot dry summer is believed to have contributed to the subsequent November plague outbreak in Nijmegen. It did not end until a period of heavy frost in February 1636. The epidemic was so severe that over six thousand people from a population of approximately ten thousand lost their lives. About the same number of soldiers died from the epidemic. They were temporarily stationed in Nijmegen to protect the city from an imminent attack by the Spanish. It is quite likely that the soldiers brought the plague with them. Nijmegen was reduced in population so severely that many left for America, including de Mandeville family members. It is possible that Johan (Jan) de Mandeville had already followed courses in Theology elsewhere (possibly at the Collegiate Theological School at Leiden not connected with the University.) It was rather old to start one's university career at the age of 22 in those days, and in 1624 he received already permission to lecture on the Hebrew language, in the place of professor l'Empereus at the Atheneum at Hardewijk, Gelderland. In 1628, he was appointed a proponent or candidate minister at the village of Koolwijk, not far from Harderwijk and two years later he became minster in the neighboring village of Gandener where he died in 1657. There is a tombstone with a rather illegible inscription of a Mandeville buried in the church at Gardener which may refer to the Reverend Johannes de Mandeville. In 1640 he had written a Latin Carmeu which he had dedicated to the Estates of Gelderland for which this august body voted him a suitable reward. The name of Rev. John's wife has not as yet been found. Two years after his death his son Gillis (Yeelis or Yellis), named probably for uncle Aegidius (Gillis) de Mandeville, which name descended from the Van de Rade family, sailed for New Netherlands (now known as New York). The de Mandevilles remained a professional family in the Netherlands. Of especial interest is Dr. Bernardus de Mandeville ( a great gradson of Dr. Michael) who settled in England and was the author of "The fable of the Bees or Private Vices, Publick Benefits" of which new edition, copiously annotated by F.B.Kaye, was published in 1924. The de Mandeville family was armigerous. A seal of "Michael Mandeville" (the grandfather of the American Settler ) schepen of Nymegan, on a document dated November 8, 1632, shows a winged stag rampant (contourne). In a previous article (Neiff -Nevices) I have mentioned the existence of a roll-of-arms of the Gelderland-Overyseel Student Society. In the Leiden volumn Emanuel de Mandeville (the uncle of the American settler) had his arms entered in about 1622 when a student there. There was in Holland also another de Mandeville Family, at least they bore different arms, namely Mandeville. These arms were born by Robbert Williemsz de Mandeville from Middleburgh who settled at Amsterdam where he received the burgherright June 18, 1649. He was besides bierbeschoyer, inspector of the tappens of Amsterdam, a well-known painter, (Bredius, Kirenstter Inventare). He married Clara Roodenburg, a poet (oud Holland, 1895:65) In Amsterdam settled also Emanuel de Mandeville from Middleburgh, born about 1609. He was a merchant at Amsterdam and married there in the Walloon Church first, in 1634, Elizabeth Beth and second in 1645, Maria Kinslandt. The fact that the name Emanuel occurs in both the Middleburgh-Amsterdam and the Nymegan families may indicate a relationship of probable cousins, since they bore apparently different arms. ----- Yellis de Mandeville came to New Nethelands 12 Feb 1659 aboard de Trouw (Faith), with his wife and four children ages 1 1/4, 5, 6, and 9 years old. On the passenger manifest he is called Gilles Jansen Van Garder (Garderen in Veluwe, Guilderland). He probably lived on Long Island for a short time (two of his children were from New Amersfoort or Flatlands, Kings County). In 1676 Gilles Jansen was rated at Flatlands for 10 morgens of land. He received a grant of 30 acres at Greenwich, New York, laid out on 5 Dec 1679, and patented on 30 Dec 1680. Ibid., 38:284-286. He and Elsje Hendricx were members of the at Reformed Dutch Church, New York City, New York, on 31 May 1677. Ibid., 38:285.
