“THE BOGERT FAMILY originated in Holland, where they are known as Van Bogert, and the name is derived from the word “Orchard.” The name was originally spelled Bogaert, but as far back as the sixteenth century was spelled Bogert, or Bogart. The emigration to America was in the early part of 1700, or in the beginning of the seventeenth century. The founder of the American branch of the Bogert family, whose Christian name is not preserved, married an English lady, whose given name was Charity, and after their arrival in America, they settled in Pahaguary township, Warren County, New Jersey, post office, Calne.” (From the Genealogical and Family History of the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys, Pennsylvania (1906), Volume 1, by Horace Edwin Hayden.

Hey Karen. I, along with another couple of descendants of Cornelius Bogart & Catherine Westfall, have doubts about Lucas Bogart being the father of Cornelius and some primary and secondary source documents to support our (emerging) view of his parents. If you are interested, send me an email and I’ll give you a summary of what we have. Bryan
