Biography

This family is of Dutch extraction. The name was originally written Bogaert ('in den Boogaertsman) The earliest mention of the name in the province occurs in an assessment roll of Breukelen (Brooklyn), dated 1673, where Theunis Gijsbertse Bogaert is named, having the largest assessment on the roll. We find him again assessed in 1683.

Arrival

As no passenger lists of that period are known to exist, the exact date of his arrival here and the ship in which he sailed is unknown. After arrival, he was a sailor, therefore his absence at sea in the West Indies trade may account for the fact that nothing could be found concerning him in the early records of New Amsterdam until 1654.

Residence

Events

Theunis Gysbertszen Bogaert migrated to New Amsterdam, New York in 1652 from Heykoop in the Province of South Holland, at the age of 27, as stated by him when he took the oath of allegiance to the King of England, James II, in Brooklyn after the second conquest by the English. He also stated that he had been in this country for 35 years. ^[11]

On Oct 24, 1654, Governor Pieter Stuyvesant granted to him 100 acres of land at Bedford, Brooklyn, which he shared with Aert T. Middagh. He also owned property in Heykoop, Holland, which he sold to his brother, Abraham, several years after coming to this country.

On Apr 24, 1660, he was appointed by Governor Stuyvesant, a schepen (magistrate) of Amersvoort and Midwout.

In 1661 he was received into the Brooklyn Dutch Reformed Church.

Also in 1661, he sold a part of the original Bergen tract to another prominent Dutch pioneer, Rem Janse Vanderbeek, his neighbor who married Jannetje, sister of Sarah Rapalje.

In 1662, Tunis was a member of the Bushwick Militia, and he served under Captain Ryck Lydecker for a number of years.

On Mar 18, 1662 Teunis along with Jan Joris Rapalje and some others petitioned for and were granted a tract of woodland behind the property of Jan Joris.^[12]

On the 21st Feb., 1663 , Jan Jorise (Rapalie) having died, at an election for church officers, Willem Bredenbent was continued as Elder for one year, Teunis Jansen Coevers , elected Elder, Willem Gerritsen Van Couwenhoven and Teunis Gysbertse Bogaert , Deacons. On the 27th of Feb., 1664 , Teunis Janssen Coevers and Teunis Gysbertse Bogaert were elected Elders, and Willem Gerritse Van Couwenhoven and Willem Willemsen (Bennet) , Deacons, who were in office when Selyns resigned his charge.

On Mar 19, 1663, he was appointed a magistrate in Brooklyn, succeeding his father-in-law Joris Janszn Rapalje, serving in that capacity until 1673. He was on Governor Nicolls' patent of Brooklyn in 1664. He served as a magistrate of Bushwick in 1664 and 1665, and was a representative of Brooklyn in the Hempstead Convention of 1665.

He was one of the signers of a remonstrance to the central authority in New Amsterdam in 1665 when a petition was presented to Governor Stuyvesant regarding the John Scott raids on Long Island.

On Mar 7, 1665, he conveyed to David Joghensz, also of Bushwick, a house and lot adjoining Dirck Volkertson's and Jan Tellier's -- indicating that he had removed to Bushwick.

On Apr 5, 1667, he obtained a confirmatory patent in his own name (instead of the heirs of Hans Hansen, his wife's first husband) of Hans Hansen Bergen's patent of 200 morgen (420 acres) at the Wallabout.

By 1673, Tunis Gysbert Bogaert was one of the most prosperous farmers in Long Island and consequently the largest taxpayer for many years as the early tax rolls show. In addition to his extensive property at the Wallabout, Bedford, Bushwick, and a part of Brooklyn, his material wealth is listed on the tax rolls of 1675 as "five horses, two oxen, and thirty-six head of cattle."

On Mar 26, 1674, he was a member of the convention called by Governor Colve to consult with him in New Amsterdam regarding the best interests of the colony.

In Sep, 1676, he was taxed 331 pounds by Brueckelen (Brooklyn) for 3 poll (3 males), 4 horses, 1 horse of two years, 5 oxen, 5 cows of 3 years, 10 cows of 2 years, 8 cows of 1 year, 9 hogs, 40 morgen of land and valley. (A morgen was equal to 2 and 1/10 acres, a Dutch word for morning, or the area which could be plowed in one morning.)

In 1686, he was on Governor Dongan's confirmatory patent of Brooklyn.

While Tunis transferred the greater part of his property to his son, Gysbert Teunise Bogaert, there is no record or mention of the Bogaert homestead, or of its disposition, for in 1699, his son was living with his family in Staten Island. If he had left a will, it was not recorded, as none has ever been found in scores of historical archives including the New York State Library at Albany, the Hall of Records in New York and Brooklyn, and other possible repositories.

The several settlements which now comprise the present Borough of Brooklyn had burying grounds adjacent the Dutch churches as was the custom. Tunis, therefore, may have been buried in Bushwick; however, the oldest tombstone in that churchyard which has completely disappeared in the course of time was one dated 1769. If he had been buried in the old Wallabout cemetery, his remains may have been reinterred with a thousand others who were removed to Green Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn in 1840, without a marker.

Research Notes

Note

Land Ownership in NY

In 1715 we find the name of Simon enrolled among the militia of Kings county. Our theory is that this Simon had a brother Tunis, and that they were sons of Gysbert, for, in the assessment mentioned above, he is rated for three polls (himself and two sons); that these sons married:

Simon Bogaert and Margarietje Ten Eyck had the following children:

1. Elisabet, baptized October 18, 1719;
2. Margareta, baptized December 3, 1722;
3. Simon, baptized May 19, 1726; Gysbert, baptized January 19, 1729;
4. Sarah, baptized February 13, 1732, and perhaps others.

Tunis and Catharine Hageman had the following children:

1. Isaak, baptized November 21, 1718;
2. Adrian, baptized December 18, 1720;
3. Abraham, baptized April 21, 1723;
4. Maria, baptized March 28, 1725;
5. Cornelius, baptized March 2, 1729, and perhaps others.

Simon (probably son of Simon) and Martha, his wife, had the following children:

1. Mary, born December 4, 1746;
2. Simon, born June 19, 1754;
3. Richard, born February 22, 1757.

Isaac and Rachel had sons:

1. John, born October 14, 1770;
2. Simon, who was the father of Timothy C. Bogart, near the Four Corners.
