There is a memorial for TEUNIS GYSBERTSEN BOGAERT (33445976) who is probably the same person as this memorial, but because of the difference in the last names, which is explained in this memorial, this one was left open.
All modern accounts of the origins of the Middagh family in New Amsterdam begin with Aert Theunissen Middagh, who was first recorded in the Dutch settlement in 1654. There is however, another Middagh in the New Amsterdam records during the same period, a Theunis Gysbertsen, who sometimes used the name Middagh. Keeping in mind that Dutch family names were in a state of flux, a search of the records of that time comes up with only one other Theunis Gysbertsen, a man who sometimes used the last name Bogaert. Also, many men did not use a last name, going by their first and middle names only, and both Bogaert and Middagh often went by Theunis Gysbertszen.
On May 29, 1661, a man named Theunis Gysbertsen from Heykoop joined the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam. His wife at the time was Sara Joris Rapalje, widow of Hans Bergen and mother of Aert Theunissen Middagh's wife, Breckje. On April 9, 1664, Aert Teunisse Middagh, also of Heykoop, joined the same church. So both men came from Heykoop (Hei-en Boeicop) in Zuid, Holland. If Theunis and Aert were not father and son, they certainly had a close relationship in New Amsterdam. About 1654, Theunis married a widow with 8 children, he must have been a mature man, the possibility that he himself was a widower with grown children is certainly possible.
Theunis and Aert bought land together in 1654, five years before Aert married Theunis' step-daughter. This is another reason to believe that Theuniss and Aert were father and son. If Aert were not yet 25, the age of adulthood in New Amsterdam for men, the land purchase could have been a way of emancipating Aert in preperation for his marriage.
Also, according to John Albert Bogart's records: Theunis Gysbertszen Bogaert was a sailor before locating in New Amsterdam in 1652. He acquired a grant of one hundred acres in Bedford, Brooklyn in 1654, and in 1667, the four hundred acres of heavily wooded land formerly owned by Hans Hansen Bergen, deceased. This area included the site of the New York Naval Shipyard.
After marrying Sarah Rapalje Bergen, Theuniss became father to the six Bergen children. Theuniss and Sarah operated a sawmill and lumber business besides farming, and became influential in the affairs of Brooklyn. Sarah bore him six more Children. Their last child and only son, Gysbert Tunis Bogaert, established the large and prominent Brooklyn Branch of the descendents of Gysbert In Den Boogaertman.
