Biography
Gabriel Marcelis was a merchant, Danish Commissary and resident of Hamburg. According to Ned Leeuw (1981) he was presumably of the southern Netherlands, a merchant in Rotterdam and later in Hamburg. He was married to Anna l'Hermite (Ermit d'Ermitage), from Antwerpen, (abt. 1577, d. Jan 1652 in Hamburg), daughter of Pieter l'Hermite () and Elisabeth Haunders. [1]

- Gabriël Marcelis Elewauts later Gabriël van Marcelis van Elswout, was commissaris en resident van de koning van Denemarken en overleed op 20 juli 1643 in de Duitse havenstad. Gabriël Marcelis voorzag de Deense koning Christiaan IV, schepen, manschappen en vooral krijgsbehoeften. IJzer en geschut waren afkomstig uit de mijnen en ijzergieterijen tussen Serpichow en Toela, niet ver van Moskou, waar een broer Pieter Marcelis (1602-1672) was gevestigd. Deze stond in hoog aanzien bij tsaar Alex Michaël Romanow. Tot welstand gekomen is Gabriël in 1654 eigenaar geworden van het landgoed Elswout in Overveen. Vanwege zijn bezittingen in Denemarken gaf Gabriel Marcelis zichzelf de titel Heer van Callenberg (Kallundborg) en op 7 september 1665 ontving hij van koning Frederik III voor zichzelf en zijn erfgenamen een adelsdiploma. [2]
Translated: Gabriël Marcelis Elewauts was commissioner and resident of the King of Denmark and died on July 20 1643 in the German harbor city. Gabriel Marcelis provides the Danish King Christian IV, ships, troops and munitions in particular. Iron and artillery came from the mines and iron foundries between Serpichow and Tula, near Moscow, where his brother Pieter Marcelis (1602-1672) was established. He was highly regarded by Tsar Alex Michael Romanow. Because of all prosperity, in 1654 Gabriel became the owner of the Elswout estate in Overveen. Because of his possessions in Denmark Gabriel Marcelis gave himself the title heer van (Lord of) Callenberg (Kallundborg) and on September 7, 1665 he received from King Frederick III for himself and his heirs a nobility degree.

- Marselisborg was a farm, manor and barony in Aarhus, Denmark, the original farm was situated in the present day Marselisborg neighborhood south of the city centre. The manor was named after and by Gabriel Marselis who was the first private owner, he was given the manor and lands by King Frederik III as repayment for debts incurred by the Crown during the Second Northern War. Gabriel Marselis did not move to Denmark himself but his sons would later assume control of his estates there. In 1896 the city of Aarhus purchased the manor and in 1911 dissolved the estate, many landmarks in the area are in turn named for the manor such as Marselisborg Forests, Marselisborg Hospital and Marselisborg Palace.

Research Notes
There is no evidence to support the notion that this man was the father of New Netherland immigrants Hendrick Marselis or Marselis Janse, nor is there evidence that the two immigrants were brothers.

It is a bit surprising that this pair of duplicates was not detected earlier. I am glad you found them -- thank you. There is wild variation in the estimated birth date. 1575 on that other profile, 1582 on this profile, and 1602 in the text of this profile. Is there a good basis for determining when he was born?
PS - Although I am a manager on this profile, I know very little about it. It seems (from the change history) that I adopted profile Van Marselis-2 (which was later merged into a profile that was later merged into this profile) as an orphan profile back in 2014.

I proposed the merge. What last name should be the LNAB for the father?
The father should be merged before this merge can be handled, anyway.
edited by Roy Østensen
I do not see a proposed match for the father. I don't think the sequence is a problem.
I think that the genealogy for Hendrick in particular, but probably also Marcelis Janse, might be influenced by past researchers confusing Hendrick Marselis with Hendrick Van Bommel.
Contributions for the Genealogies of the First Settlers of the Ancient County of Albany, from 1630 to 1800 by Jonathan Pearson
Marselis Janse (my ancestor) is from Bommel in Gelderland and Hendrick is supposed to be from Beest in Gelderland. There may be no basis, other than a fertile imagination, for treating them as brothers. (But I've not researched Hendrick.)
I believe there are numerous online genealogies that connect this high-ranking German man with New Netherland families that assumed Marsalis as a family surname. They all copy from each other, without any critical evaluation. But some of the American pages misspell Hamburg as "Hamberg".
genealogie online Sanborn Arrington family tree think this is where it all was coming from, based on ?
see the sons
So no this Gabriel and his wife were not the parents and the Janse kid probably just a mix up or something, Janse is a patronymic, so not even a first name, people were named Jan, Jan(ne)s, Joannes, Johannes, but Janse ..never seen that version. it looks like he just had the name Marcellus or some version of it as his first name ?
I think the parents are a mistaken inference.
He did have a son named Jan I believe, and they all were traders, so perhaps and looking at the dates they were sons of sons of this Gabriel ? So this Gabriel perhaps was their grandfather ?
There was a Mercelis Cornelisz who died in 1597 in Rotterdam, I don't know but perhaps this was his father ?
So Mercelis as it was written in the marriage record perhaps started as a normal patronymic, but because they became rich and Noble they adopted it as the familyname 'Van Marcelis' ? There are a whole lot of early Marcelis people in Rotterdam and Mercelis
