Bogaard, etc. in Dutch means orchard in English. So "van de Bogert"
would mean "from the orchard." Bogaard and variations were evidently
fairly common surnames in the 17th century among the Dutch.

Talcott, S. V., Genealogical notes of New York and New England families, 1883,
has a chapter on what appears to be your family. See:

The Van de Bogaert chapter begins on p. 307.

Howard
