BOGAERT FAMILY
(1) Gijsbert Theuniszn Bogaert died 1646, m. Aertjien BASTIAENS
(2) Cornelis Theuniszn Bogaert died before 1646, m. Beeltje CORNELISE.
(3) Louw Theuniszn Bogaert died 1676 Vianen, Holland. He succeeded his father as the guardian of the minor orphans of his two brothers Cornelius and Gysbert. He married to an unknown woman. His will was dated 3 May 1667.
(1) Jan Laurens (Louwe) Bogaert born about 1625 Schoonrewoerd, Holland. He grew up at Schoondrewoerd (a word meaning finer words), a small fortified village noted for its salmon fisheries. It is on a branch of the Maas River twenty miles above Rotterdam about two miles from Heykoop, the former home of his uncle Gysbert. Jan was reared a farmer, but early in life struck out for himself. Reaching manhood, he married Cornelia EVERTSE (EVARTS), the daughter of a well-to-do neighbor, and settled down to farming in his native town.
In common with thousands of Hollanders he seems to have caught the prevalent emigration fever for, on 16 April 1663, we find him, his wife, two children and many of his neighbors leaving Amsterdam on the Dutch West India ship "Spotted Cow," bound for America. A month later the craft touched the warf at New Amsterdam, where some of the cargo of emigrants remained and others went to Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Albany.
Jan continued on to the vicinity of Bedford, Brooklyn, where he bought a farm, and remained there until 1671. In the spring of that year he had an opportunity to take charge of the farm of Dr. John de la Montagne near Harlem. On 1 May 1672, he moved from Bedford, and for a period of twenty years was an active participant in the civil and religious affairs of Harlem. That he prospered is evidenced by the fact that in 1679, 1691, and 1701 he bought lands at Hoorns Hook, Spuyten Duyvil, and Hellegat Sound. He was chosen magistrate of Harlem in 1675 and 1676, but failed afterward in the realization of any other political aspirations.
In 1695 he sold his lands at Bedford and in 1706 his farm lands in Harlem. The following Spring, stricken in years, he and his wife moved to New Amsterdam (joining the Dutch Church there on 27 May 1707), where they died soon after at a ripe old age.
