The Grandchildren of Teunis Gysbert Bogart

The Grandchildren of Teunis Gysbert Bogart

Teunis Gysbert Bogart, husband of Catherine Hegeman, was of Brooklyn, NY, when he left a will dated 22 Jun 1767, proved 27 Apr 1768 [WNYHS 7:146-7].  It says: "I leave to my grandchildren, the children of my son Teunis, £200," without mentioning who they are.

His son, Teunis, is sometimes said to have 1st married a Voorhees. This probably comes from the will of Coert Voorhees which does mention his brother-in-law Teunis Bogart in his will dated 3 Jan 1746, proved 14 Jul 1750 [WNYHS 4:291].  However, this probably refers to his father, Teunis Gysbert Bogart, who married Catherine Hegeman, sister of Neeltje Hegeman, wife of Coert Voorhees [Van Voorhees Family in America, Vol 1, pg 50]

Teunis married Lea Vandervoort by license dated 17 Oct 1760 [NY Licenses before 1789]

17 Oct 1760 Bogart, Teunis and Leah Van den voort of Dutchess Co., spinster [3:367][NY Marriage bonds] Given her residence of Dutchess Co., she is almost certainly the daughter of John Vandervoort and Elizabeth Andriesse.  She married 2nd John Vandervoort at the DRC of Hopewell, NY:
January 12 1770 Ian Van DeVoort Lea Van DeVoort wi. (one version of the records specifies of Teunis Bogart).

The following are probably 3 children of Teunis Bogart, son of Teunis Bogart and Catherine Hegeman, and Leah Vandervoort, daughter of John Vandervoort and Elizabeth Andriessen (see the earlier post on her family).

1) Elizabeth, named after her maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Andriessen:

e) poss Lambert Stoothoff, b abt 1803, named after his paternal uncle.

2) John, named after his maternal grandfather, John Vandervoort:

My abstract of John Bogart's will (Kings Co Wills, Liber 1, page 213):
John Bogart of New Lotts, Kings Co., NY. dated 1 Feb 1792. Wife Cornelia, children Tunis and Cornelius. Legacy to children to be held by executors until they reach 21. Executors: Brother-in-law, Abraham Stoothoff and friend Peter G. Wyckoff of Flatlands. Witnesses: William I. Stoothoff [brother of Abraham], Jacob Bloom [husband of Magdalena Vandervoort, sister of John Vandervoort] and John Vandervoort [step-father] of Kings Co. Proved 23 Mar 1792. Liber 1, page 213
[see John Vandervoort for a description of the imprisonment of Jacob Bloom and John Vandervoort in the Revolution. Also, John Vandervoort was a witness for the will of Jacob Blom].

3) Teunis, named after his paternal grandfather, Teunis Bogart:

The abstract of the administrative bond of his estate reads:
Bogert, Teunis, of Pa. - Bd (14 Apr. 1789) John Bogert, of Flatbush, Abraham Stoothoff, yeoman, Jacob Bloom, of Brooklyn, and Peter G. Wyckoff, of Flatlands, all of Kings Co. [My note: John Bogert is the brother of dec'd and Abraham Stoothoff is a brother-in-law of dec'd]
Genealogical Data from New York Administration Bonds, 1753-1799, Vol. X, abstracted by Kenneth Scott, pg 18.

John is said to be the oldest son of Gysbert Bogart and his first wife, Annetje Rapalje, in "The Bogart Family", by John Albert Bogart, page 113, where he is called Jan Cornelius. However, Gysbert's will, cited on page 255, mentions Cornelius, not John, as the oldest son. I have not researched the family enough, but I think the name Jan Cornelius is an invention to explain Gysbert's supposed son John's will. Annetje Rapalje's parents were probably Cornelius Rapalje and Johanna (Janeke) Antonides. Annetje was baptized on 15 Nov 1716 at DRC of NA. If correct, their oldest sons would be expected to be Tunis, after his paternal grandfather (in fact his 2nd son b 1755) and Cornelius, after his maternal grandfather, in fact, his oldest son. Annetje's two oldest daughters were Jannetje and Catherine, after their grandmothers.

Elizabeth is said to be the daughter of Gysbert Bogart and his second wife, Margaret Bos in "The Bogart Family", by John Albert Bogart, page 114. She is named in her father's will, (page 255). Her age is not given, but since she was named after her maternal grandmother, she was probably the oldest daughter Gysbert and Margaret who were married on 19 May 1754 at DRC of Flatbush. My guess is she was born between 1760-1762, slightly older than her presumed husband, Abraham Stoothoff. I don't know what the evidence is for her marriage to Abraham.

Teunis, son of Gysbert Bogart and Margaret Bos, married Martha Remsen and moved to Canada. He did not die in PA in 1789.

From the baptismal record of John Bogart Stoothoff and John Bogart's will, I think it is clear John and Elizabeth were brother and sister. However, I think it is unlikely that John's parents were Gysbert and Annetje Bogart. John's son, Tunis, may have been named after his paternal grandfather, John may have been named after his maternal grandfather and Elizabeth after her maternal grandmother, hence my guess at John and Elizabeth's parents.

From the 1800 Census of Flatlands, Kings New York:
Abraham Stoothoff 4 1 0 1 0 / 1 0 0 1 1

From the 1810 Census of Houndsfield, Kings, NY:
Abraham Stoothoff 1 2 2 0 1 / 2 1 0 1 1

If these are the correct Abraham, it appears he had several other sons besides Abraham and John.  One possibility is Lambert Stoothoff, possibly named after his paternal uncle.  Lambert appears in the 1830 census of Flatlands, age 20-30, again in the 1840 census of Flatlands, age 30 -40 and in the 1870 census of Perth Amboy, Middlesex, NJ, age 67. The 1850 Census of Perth Amboy, Middlesex, NJ:

Lambert Stodoff, age 45, b NY
Jane L, age 43, b NY
Adelia, age 13, b NY. She married Abraham Hartman (b 1830) on 4/1/1855. Had daughter, Jenny b 1856.

In the 1830 census, there was a male born 1825-1830 who is not listed in subsequent census records.  

His wife, Jane Lott, is mentioned in the will of her aunt as Jane Lott Stoothoff, with Lambert signing several receipts related to the probate. [1]  Lambert died in NYC on 08 Aug 1871 [2] and left a will probated in New Jersey.  His name does not appear in the index of death certificates for Manhattan in 1871, nor does his death record exist in Perth Amboy.
