Notes

David Schuyler Bogart (January 12, 1770 – July 10, 1839) was an American minister of the Reformed Dutch and Presbyterian churches. Born in New York City to Nicholas Cornelius Bogart and Ann Myndert Schuyler, he graduated from Columbia College in 1790 and studied theology under Dr. J. H. Livingston. Licensed in 1792, he married Elizabeth Platt; their children included the author Elizabeth Bogart. After briefly serving as a missionary along the Hudson River and as an assistant in Albany, Bogart pastored the Presbyterian Church at Southampton, Long Island, for most of the period between 1796 and 1813, aside from a brief tenure at Bloomingdale from 1806 to 1807. From 1813 to 1826, he served as collegiate pastor for the Reformed Dutch churches at Success and Oyster Bay. Declining health prompted his 1826 return to New York City, where he remained until his death, notably officiating the 1832 marriage of Aaron Burr and Eliza Jumel.
