ByJames Bruce Battles

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Dominie Everardus Bogardus was the first permanent minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam who arrived in America in 1633. He married the widow Anneke Jans who had a farm just to the north of the city walls. This land came to be called Dominie’s Bouwerie. There have been land disputes over the ownership of this land since 1705. The descendants Everardus Bogardus have claimed that this land was improperly and illegally transferred to Trinity Church and should rightfully belong to them. Everardus Bogardus his wife Anneke Jans are my 9th great grandparents and like other defendants I believe in some ways that Tribeca really belongs me. In part this is a belief or maybe it would be better to call it a fantasy. This book is about the Dominie Bogardus and his descendants and who they were part of the rich Dutch history of the Hudson Valley.
