Harmen van den Bogaert was 18 years old when he arrived at Nieuw Amsterdam on lower Manhattan Island. He was listed as “barber-surgeon” and posted to the Hudson River trading post at Fort Orange, now Albany.

In September, 1638, he made a will "as he intends to go on a long and perilous West India voyage." He gave all his property to Jillisje Claese [Schow], maiden, of Zierickzce, "to keep in her own possession for herself and her heirs," provided she give to his relatives "six carolus guilders with which they must be satisfied." After he returned from his perilous voyage he married Jillisge.

Circa 1647 he was burned to death in an Indian Wigwam of the Mohawks, where he had taken refuge.

After his death his widow Jillisje married Jan Labatie.
