BOGART Family

The earliest known ancestor of (my line of) this line is Gijsbert in den BOOGAERTMAN b1535. This Dutch name appears to mean 'bow, arch[ery], paper ...' (like English Bowman or German Bogen).

So Rosena is 8th cousin, 3x removed to TR; and 9th cousin, 2x removed to Eleanor on this line.

Doris (SAWYER) JIMISON has concluded that there are 2 separate John DRAKEs, one the cousin of Magdelena BROUWER (my ancestor, married to Martha OLDFIELD) and the other her husband, Johannes DRAECK. The book "Early Germans of New Jersey" (meaning Dutch) lists (p 341) the family of John and Magdalena (BROUWER) DRAKE. It was concurrent with the family of John and Martha (OLDFIELD) DRAKE in Goshen, with many of the same given names, but with 12 children instead of 9. Their son John died at Mendham, NJ and that is likely why they are referred to as the DRAKEs of Mendham. Martha's son William was born 22 Nov 1727 and married Abigail, while Magdalena's son William was born 9 Nov 1730 and married Catherine BIERS. Our Esther (Hester) was Martha's daughter; the Grassets were in her family. While this can't be proven yet, it is the only explanation that makes sense. It is likely that the mixup came about because Anneke JANS had a considerable estate, plus descendancy from William of Orange, and some social-climbing woman wanted the prestige of being royalty, and muddied the water for all future genealogists. Here's the family of John and Magdalena:

8 John d. at Mendham, NJ
8 William b. 9 Nov 1730 m. Catherine BIERS
8 10 other children (12 total)

The idea that Magdalena/Madelina BROUWER and John DRAKE (husband of Martha OLDFIELD) were cousins is based on the following. A section from a book called "Drake Genealogy in the line of Samuel Drake" by Lillian Drake Avery, privately printed, 1926 shows Madelina BROWER, b. 1704 (bapt. March 8), d/o Jacobus and Annette (BOGARDUS) BROWER of Gowanus, LI, NY; with Jacobus listed as son of Adam BROWER and brother of Aeltje Adams BROWER (John DRAKE's mother). It gives Annette BOGARDUS as d/o William and Wyntie (SYBRANT) BOGARDUS, son of Rev. Everardus BOGARDUS and Anneke JANS, "who was the daughter of Anneke WEBBER, said to be daughter of King William the 14th of Holland." I wonder if there is any relation between Anneke JANS and Marij JANS, wife of Lambert (or ? JANS, wife of Johannes ALTHUISIUS 1644-1708, see ALTHUIS)?

12 Anneke JANS 1605-63 58yo
12 Marij JANS (wife of Lambert DOUWESZ b. c1610)
11 ? JANS (wife of Johannes ALTHUISIUS 1644-1708 64yo)
other JANS? ...

The website www.geni.com has a page for Anneke JANS, including a long essay on issues related to her e.g. how she was one of the most notorious early New Amsterdam residents and was reputed to have inherited a large tract of land (82 acres?) on Long Island via her connection to Wm 'the Silent' of Orange. The page shows her b. 15 Jan 1605, d. 19 Feb 1663 Albany, New Netherlands, immig. 24 May 1630 on the ship 'de Eendracht' w/her husband Roelof JANS and 2 daus. It says she was the dau of Johan JONAS 1570-1621 and Trijntje ? c1585-1645. Anneke had a sister Marritje JANS. One theory is that she was NOT from Maasterland in the Netherlands as commonly thought, but from Maesterland (aka Marstrand), a small island off the coast of Sweden, so either Swedish or Norwegian (Norway cntl'd Sweden at that time)!? The essay also refers to a Kieft-Bogardus feud after she'd m2 the Rev. It also discusses the theory that she was a gdau of Wm WEBBER 'the Silent', the 15th Prince of Orange (see list).

The geni.com page shows 4 legit wives for Wm I (1st of the House of Orange-Nassau 1544-84, #15 overall) 1533-84 the Silent; m1 Anna van EGMONT, m2 Anna of Saxony, m3 Charlotte de BOURBON and m4 Louise de COLIGNY (no legit kids named Anneke from any of those 4). Wm's dad was Count Wm of Nassau m. Countess STALLBERG. Count Wm's dad was Wm III of Holland m1 ? of Saxony, m2 ? of Leipsic [Leipzig?] 1575 who was the mom of Count Wm (?!). Anyway, the story is told that Wm the Silent had a 5th secret marriage (to ?) which produced 2 kids; Sarah WEBBER b1580 m. ? SYBRANT (kids?), and Wolfert b1582 m1600 Catherine JONAS which produced 3 kids; Wolfert II b1602, Maritje b1603 and Anneke WEBBER b1605 m. Roelof JANS.

I need to read that entire essay more carefully and sort this out. Sounds like there's been a steady stream of people claiming land rights based on an erroneous linkage of Anneke to Wm the Silent and his supposed gifting of land to her.

The famous actor Humphry (Deforest) BOGART 1899-1957 was the son of Belmont Deforest B and Maude H Humphrey ... (more details online).

Also, here's the line of Rev. Everardus BOGARDUS 1607-47 (drowned off Wales!?) m. Anneke (WEBBER?) JANS (frmr wife of Roelof JANS). I'm hoping this can eventually be linked to my line above (and to others) to form an overall BOGART family descent chart.

In the Green BROKAW bk by Elsie FOSTER, the 1st BOGART ref is on p15 in the section describing Bergon BROKAW b1711 (son of John and Sarah (Teunis Van MIDDLESWART) BROKAW, cf Nijs.html, John son of Bourgon/Catherine). Bergon m. Metje Van WICKELEN b. c1738 d. bef. 1785. Bergon's will, proved 1799, mentions his gson Jacob BOGART, son of his dau Metje bp 1746 (so son b. c1760s). Jacob was to rcv 1/5 of Bergon's 'residue' (what's left of his estate) when he turned 21yo. Witnesses included Frederick Freylinghuysen, who I think is mentioned in Jacobus.html file as being the 1st minister to the Dutch Church in the area. Does this BOGART family fit into above?
