Originally published in 1900 |
DANIEL G. BOGERT, JR., is of the ninth generation from Cornelis Jans
Bougaert (see sketch on page 65), who was the first American ancestor of
the several branches of the Bogert family in New Jersey. Among his
children were two sons, John Cornelise and Guilliam of the second generation.
John Cornelise Bougaert (2) emigrated with his father about 1662 and first settled in the Wallabout section of what is now Brooklyn. He seems to have been a farmer and well-to-do, as he wrote "yeoman " after his name. As has been said in the sketch referred to, he married Angenetie Strycker, daughter of a. wealthy Long Island farmer, and in 1686 removed to Hackensack, where he had previously (with the Bantas, Van Buskirks, and others) purchased a large tract called "New Hackensack." He and his wife joined the Dutch Church there in 1686. He was elected a Deacon of the church in 1696. He is presumed to have died about 1715, as his name does not appear on the records after that date. Guilliam Bougaert (2), the other son of the emigrant first named, came over with his father about 1662 and also settled in the Wallabout section. He married a widow, a Mrs. Bergen, who was the first white child born on Long Island. Their issue was seven sons and three daughters who settled in different localities. Guilliam (3), one of the sons, settled in Teaneck, Englewood Township, Bergen County, N. J., in 1697, where lie built a log cabin, which he occupied for a number of years (on the site of the present Bogert homestead). He then built a stone house nearer the Teaneck road which stood until 1840. His issue was five sons: John, Jacob G., Cornelius, Henry, and Stephen. Jacob G. (4), the second of these children, married Sarah Van Voorhiss and settled on a farm one-half mile north from his father's farm. Their issue of the fifth generation were Maria and Albert J. Albert J. Bogert (5), born July 29, 1765, married Sophia Westervelt, and continued on his father's farm. His children were Sarah, Jacob, Albert, Jane, Gilliam, Henry, and Belinda. Gilliam Bogert (6), born March 3, 1797, bought his great-grandfather's farm and married Maria Demarest, a direct descendant of north of France Huguenot stock. They had issue of the seventh generation Albert G., Sarah, Sophia, Daniel G., John G., Hannah D., Marie B., Andrew D., Belinda. Jacob G., and Elsie. Daniel G. Bogert (7), son above named, was born October 13, 1825. He is a farmer in Teaneck, near the old Bogert homestead. He has served as Assessor for several years, as a Freeholder and Deputy Sheriff, and as Census Enumerator in 1864, 1865, 1866, 1870, 1880, and 1890. He married Sarah A. Bogert, of Paramus, and had nine children: Gilliam D. (born August 16, 1849), John A., Mary Emma, Cecelia, Daniel, Lillian, Estelle, Arthur, and Edith. John A. Bogert (8), born in Teaneck.
