NOTES:  Yellis was also known as Aegidius and Gilles.  On 12 February 1659, he,
	with his wife and four children aged 9, 6, 5, and 1¼ years, arrived in
	America onboard the ship "de Trouw."  Yellis was called Gilles Jansen
	Van Garder (Garderen on 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.  The name of Gilles de Mandeiville on the original list
	of the vessel "Moesman" in April 1659 indicates that he was not a
	passenger, but only 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 Amersfoort
	(Flatlands).  He was perhaps the Gilles Jansen rated there in September
	1676 for 10 morgens of land, etc.  Yellis may also have bought a farm at
	Flatbush (probably the land in the jurisdiction of Hempstead, valued
	above all his other possessions, devised by will to his son Hendrick),
	and received afterwards a grant of 30 acres at Greenwich, NY, laid out
	5 December 1679, and patented 30 December 1680.  No lands granted or
	sold to Yellis are recorded in the Flatbush Records, but many Dutch
	Patents and Indian Deeds were destroyed or sent to England after 1664.
	Yellis and his wife were members of the New York Dutch Church on 3 May
	1677, and Yellis, 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 Hudson river to Warren Road.  This part of Manhatten was known as
	Greenwich, Sappokaniken, Shappanaconk, or New Nordwyck.  Yellis and his
	wife were sponsers at a baptism, 16 March 1701.  His will, dated 15
	September 1696 reads in part:  "I, Jellis Mandeville of Greenwich, in
	the city of New York, being of sound and perfect health" leaves to wife
	Elsie all estate during widowhood.  "I give to my son Hendrick
	Mandeville, in preference to all other gifts and in regard to his being
	my oldest son, all that my farm in Queens County, in the jurisdiction of
	Hempstead," with houses, barns, etc.  "To son David, in consideration of
	his great services, my negro Peter and £50."  All of the rest of the
	estate is left to his children:  Hendrick, David, Tryntie, wife of
	Cornelis Secum (Seenn), Helike (Aeltie), wife of Lawrence Johnson,
	Geritie (Gerritie), wife of Peter De Milt (Meet), and Gertrude
	(Griettie), wife of John Meet.  I specially command that my farm or
	Bowery at Greenwich be sold with the horses, etc., to the highest bidder
	of my children and the money to be divided.  Makes wife Elsie, sole
	exector.  Witnesses: Symon Brestede and Samuel Bayard.  The will was
	proved on 22 May 1701. Elsje Hendricks made her will, as a widow, 22 May
	1701.
