Biography

Descendants carry and records indicate these variant surnames: Enyart, Enyard, Enyeart, Inyart, Inyard, Enjart, Inniard , Inniart, and perhaps others.

YELLIS INYART was a son of Carel Enjart (aka Inyard/Enyart/Enyard, etc). ^[1] and his wife Antje, and is assumed to be one of the three children who accompanied Carel Enjart, from Flanders, who traveled to New Netherland on D'Eendracht (The Concord) on 17 April 1664 with his wife and three children, ages 12, 8, and 4. ^[2] If he was one of those children, he was born in Flanders between about 1652 and 1660.

He married (1) Elsje van Woggelum, daughter of Jan Pieterszen van Woggelum and Styntje Jans, in about 1686. Her name was sometimes anglicized as Alice. She was the mother of Yellis's first three children (born before 1692) and probably the next two children after those. ^[3]

Elsje appears to have died, and Yellis married (2) Tryntje Thys Vlierboom, the widow of Gerrit Bastiaensen, as his second wife. The only known child of this marriage is Matthys, born about 1702 and named for Tryntje's father. ^[8]

Yellis died before 11 March 1708/9, when his will was proved.

"According to the Planters Patents Book, [n2] on December 29, 1697 Jellis Inyard and Peter Pieterson received tracts of land "on the great plains on the north side of Staten Island in the rear of Cornelis Corsen's land." Jellis evidently remained in that place the remainder of his life. He died in Richmond County, New York in January 1706/7. His will, dated January 2, 1706/7, was probated in Richmond County on March 11, 1707/8. It is recorded in Liber 7 in the Surrogate's office in New York City. In this most important document, Jellis provided for his wife, three sons and three daughters, leaving the sum of ś5 more to his eldest son, John, than to the rest. ^[9]

Disputed Marriage Information

Several researchers have assumed that the wife Tryntje named in the will of Jellis Inyart was his only wife, and because of indications that John and Ary Woglum were his brothers in law, it was assumed that Tryntje was a member of the Van Woggelum family. Barbara Barth presented this information in the first installment of her multipart article "Those Easy-Going Van Woggelums Again," published in the The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record in January 1999, but revised her interpretation in the second installment, published in April 1999. Jellis Inyard his wife Alice executed a mortgage document in 1692, indicating that there was a marriage before his marriage to Tryntje. Naming patterns identify this first wife as a van Woggelum, named Elsje. Jellis's wife Tryntje (his second wife) is now identified as Tryntje Thys Vlierboom, and Barth suggests that Tryntie Van Woggelum did not exist. ^[10]
