Burgert, Lambert.

The Burgert [Burghardt] Family, of Dutch lineage, was early to the Kinderhook vicinity, specifically the Nutten Hook Patent, in then Albany County, now Columbia County, New York. The first known of the family was Conradt Burghardt, a mill owner and fur trader, who was in the area in 1702 and who in 1717 and 1721 with Elias Van Schaack petitioned for a total of two tracts of 4,000 acres. There was a boundary dispute and in 1731 they removed to the Westonhook Patent now Sheffield and Great Barrington, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. In 1762, 1767, and 1773 Conradt's sons John, Conradt, Gerrit, Petries, and Jacob and his sons-in-law Isaac Van Deusen and Peter Sharp petitioned again for the land in Nutten Hook Patent. Several lots were acquired and Lambert Burgert, a third generation, resided in Lot 5 near the Kinderhook Creek and Major Abram's Falls, now Stuyvesant Falls.
