VAN DER BOGAERT.
1.
Harmen, son of Myndert Van der Bogaert, was born in Holland in 1612. He came to New Amsterdam in the ship "Endraght," May 24, 1630, as a surgeon of the ship, having sailed from Texel on the 21st of March previous. He married Jellisje, daughter of Claas Jansen Schouw or Switts, of Zierickzee, in Holland, and had

. 3 Myndert H., bp. in New York May 3, 1643 ; m. (10) HELENA SCHERMERHORN.
4 Lysbet, m. HARMEN JANSE KNICKERBACKER.
No other children are found on the record.
Harmen Van der Bogaert, in 1638, sailed for the West Indies, upon which occasion he made a will leaving his property, in case of his death, to his wife, "the daughter of Jellisen Claas Janssen, of Zierikzee, provided she gave to his relatives six carlous guilders." In 1648 his property in New Amsterdam was sold, and he was at Fort Orange (Albany) that year hold- ing the office of commissary of the fort. He came to a violent death in 1648.
The names of Bogaert, Van der Bogaert and Uyt den Bogaert have often been confounded in this country, so much so that it has been difficult to trace the descendants of the two families that came to New Amsterdam. They were distinct families and not known to have been at all related to each other in this country, whatever connection there may have been in Holland.

Petrus Van Driessen had two sons

3 Johannes (Dominie), m., 1st, MARGARITA VAN STRYER, July 8, 1727 (Pearson) ; 2d., (20) MARGARIET OOTHOUT, October 22, 1736.
Nothing respecting Petrus, the father, has been found on the Albany records by the Compiler. It is probable he never came to America, but that his sons were educated in Belgium and came over at different times, Johannes later than his brother.
2.
Dominie Petrus Van Driessen came to Albany April, 1712. He was the son of (1) Petrus Van Driessen. He married Eva, daughter of Hendrick and Anna Cuyler, August 26, 1712, and had
4 Petrus, bp. January 17, 1713 ; m. ENGELTJE VROOMAN, June, 1738.
5 Hendrick, bp. October 30, 1715; removed to New York. Of Hendrick, the Dominie says: "This my son Hendrick was the first child baptised in the new church."
6 Johannes, bp. September 29, 1717.
7 Anna, bp. November 15, 1719.
8 Maria, bp. September 16, 1722.
Dominie Petrus Van Driessen made a will January 29, 1737-38, leaving all his estate, both real and personal, to his wife Eva, during her life time, with power to sell and dispose of the same. In conjunction with two of her children, Hendrick (Henry) and Annetje (Anna), she did sell, on the 21st day of July, 1748, the whole of the estate to Philip

Lansing for a nominal sum, and he reconveyed it to her in fee. Later, March 9, 1754, Petrus conveyed his interest (whatever that might be) to his brother Henry.
DOMINIE PETRUS DRIESSEN was buried in the church at the foot of State street February 3, 1738.
EVA CUYLER, widow of DOMINIE PETRUS VAN DRIESSEN, was buried in the church August 10, 1756.
DOMINIE VAN DRIESSEN was the seventh minister of the "Nether Dutch Reformed Congregation of the City and County of Albany," succeeding Dominie Johannes Lydius. To him belongs the credit of having a new church erected at the foot of State street of stone in place of the old and decayed one of wood. A petition was drawn up by him June 8, 1714, and signed by himself and the elders and deacons of the church, asking the approval of Robert Hunter, captain-general and governor of the provinces of New York and New Jersey, of their purpose of building a new church. He also obtained an act of incorporation for the church on petition August 3, 1720, which was approved August 10, 1720.

Dominie Johannes, son of (1) Petrus Van Driessen, married (according to Pearson) 1st Margarita Van Stryer July 8, 1727. If this be correct he married 2d (20) Margariet, daughter of (3) Hendrick Jans Oothout and (9) Caatje Volkers Douw (bp. July 13, 1701), October 22, 1736, and had

There is much doubt as to the correctness of this family of DOMINIE VAN DRIESSEN'S. The marriage of DOMINIE VAN DRIESSEN and that of Mary are taken from "New York mar- riages " published by the authority of the State. The birth and death of Catharine is taken from a record in a Psalm book originally belonging to CATHARINE VAN DRIESSEN in which is written " Maritje Oothout her book, born March 11, 1690," and below it " August 15, 1738, is born my eldest daughter and is named Catharine." In another hand is written " CATHA- RINE VAN DRIESSEN, her book," and later "1823, February 17th, Aunt Catharine died aged 84 years. (See Grevenradt Bible record in this book.) Maritje Oothout died single, and

the inference is that the book passed into the hands of Mar- gariet, her sister, who married DOMINIE JAN (JOHANNES) VAN DRIESSEN. In settling the estate of (3) Hendrick Oothout a por- tion was given to (20) Margariet, wife of JAN VAN DRIESSEN. Letters about this estate were received by (25) Isaac Bogart and (19) Hendrickie Oothout, his wife, from DOMINIE JAN VAN DRIESSEN (written from Aquickanonck, N. J.) as late as No- vember 11, 1748. That Rachel was the daughter of DOMINIE JAN VAN DRIESSEN, and that she married a Salisbury from Catskill and had no children, the compiler believes to be correct, but unfortunately has lost the reference from whence the note was taken. As to the marriage of Catharine to Abraham Lan- sing that is also in doubt.
The Rev. JOHANNES (JAN) VAN DRIESSEN was a younger brother of the Rev. Petrus. He was born in Holland or Bel- gium in 1697. He completed his education in the latter country and came to' America probably later than his brother Petrus with whom he continued his studies for the ministry. He was given a license to preach by the Presbytery of New Haven April 13, 1727, after sustaining a thorough examination in the Halls of Yale College. He was acting as the Pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church at Kinderhook from 1727 to 1738, but was never regularly installed as such in consequence of his not having been ordained and licensed by the mother church at Albany. He was officiating as Pastor of the French church at New Paltz from 1731 to 1736, supplying also Clav- erack, Livingston Manor and Germantown. He received a call from and removed to Aquickanonck, N. J., where he remained till 1748, and was alive as late as the 11th of November of that year.
