Please note: An Adam ENGARD immigrated through Philadelphia, arriving on the Ship Britannia 1773. This Adam's village of origin was Rossdorf, near Darmstadt, Hesse. He was very possibly a cousin of above Philip, but no PROOF to date.

Gerre has not made a connection yet to the ENYART/ENYEART/etc. family line, however, in July 2004 she states: "My grandmother's pronounciation of the name across the ocean was 'von ENYART'." In December 1999, she stated, "Actually, we are finding ENGARD to have been ENGERT in 1827."

One "Charles ENGARD" "was in York Co., VA in 1646. I have found nothing more about him.  ...he may be Carel ENYART. Carel is said to have immigrated twice, returned to Europe, and brought back his wife and kids the second time." Gerre tells us this is just a theory, and that it would probably be a good idea to check passenger lists for those returning to Europe. Perhaps in time this will be confirmed or denied, but it is added here as the ENGARD surname was used, perhaps in relationship to the ENYART/ENYEART family.
