Taken from "Notes on the History of one branch of the Bogert (Bogart) family in the US and Canada" by George Gleason Bogert (originally prepared in Dec 1952: revised in 1961).
David Gutridge Bogart was the second son of Henry (1761-1834) and was born 1789 and died in the Town of Alexandria, Jefferson County, New York., April 12, 1874, at the age of 83 years. A monument is erected over his grave at the Plessis Cemetery in Alexandria Township. According to my uncle, James C. Bogart, the family tradition was that David was born in Brockville, Canada, and lived there until about 1830; that his first seven children were born there; that he moved to Alexandria Township about 1830 and was a farmer there; that later his grandson, John Henry Bogart, gave David about 30 acres of land in Alexandria; and later David transferred this land to his son, Henry, who thereafter supported David. There is conflicting information as to David's birthplace, however. In Emerson's History of Jefferson County, New York, in the biography of John H Bogart, a grandson of David, it is stated that David was a native of Montgomery County, New York; and another family tradition is that he was a cobbler who traveled about a good deal plying his trade, going back and forth between Montgomery County and Canada.
Life in Alexandria Township in 1831 when David Bogart and his family arrived there must have been difficult and full of hardships. The country was in large part covered with timber. Much of the land was rocky. Clearings had to be made and log houses constructed. During the long, hard winters, fire-places were the only source of heat. The growing season was short. It was a struggle to fit the land for agriculture and to save enough to make the payments which were due on it, small as they were. These pioneers deserve great credit for overcoming such hardships, raising large families, and eventually accumulating a modest competence.
In 1815 David married Esther Benedict who was born in 1789 and lived until 1877, when she died at the age of 87, and was buried alongside her husband in the Plessis cemetery.
David and Esther had nine children, namely:
William E. (1816-1901); who married Pheobe French and had four children; Emily, Amelia, David (who lived near Marcy, New York), and Horace (who left descendants near Macomb, New York).
Henry (1817-1877); married Jennet Carnegie in 1846; had 5 children, namely; James Carnegie (1848-1925); twins, Taylor Orville (1851-1901) and Orvis Tilden (1851-1859); Eudora V. (1853-1901); and John Henry (1856-1929).
Lucy (1818-1901); married Samuel H Smart; moved to Wisconsin, no children.
Parthena (1820-1872); married Henry Converse; lived in Albion, New York, no children.
Martha (1824-1911); married Isaac Closs, Theresa, New York; later lived in Carthage, New York; children, Alonzo, Albertine, Edwin, Rosalia, Charles, and Clara.
John (1825-1906); married about 1850 to Elizabeth McCarty; moved to Michigan around 1859-1860 and lived near Vassar, a town near Saginaw; was a farmer; children, David, Esther, John, Edgar, Mary, James, Martha, Emaline, and Josephine.
Arza (1828-1914); married Harriet A. Ripley; was a farmer in the town of Alexandria; children, George Washington, b. 1859 (he married Sarah Daragh), and Celia, b. 1862, who married Irvin Caples, and had no children.
Mary "Polly" (1830-1898); married 1856 to Coville June; lived near Alexandria; children, Rosalia, Helen, Adelbert; moved to Michigan.
Joseph (1832-1914); married Melissa Church; lived at Gananoque, Can., children, Loretta (lived at Syracuse); Joseph (lived at Watertown); Adelbert (farmer near Gananoque).
