Bragoon Braghar - also seen as Bourgen Broecord, or Brocard, was a Frenchman.
One source suggests that the Broucard family was in Mannheim Germany at the birth of daughter Jannetje. Mannheim was a tolerant center where many religious refugees congregated, and if the Broucards were in Mannheim, it might suggest that they were Huguenots.
We expect for two reasons that they immigrated to America before about 1687. One is that Jannetje married a man who had been born in New York (Hans Teunise Covert, the son of Dutch immigrants). The other reason is that the first child of Hans and Jannetje, named Catherine Covert, was born in Brooklyn in 1688.
A third indication is that, curiously, Hans Teunis Covert took the oath of allegiance in 1688, perhaps in preparation for marriage and entering into the public records of the English government of New York. The young couple lived on Long Island for a time, then moved to Somerset Co., New Jersey by 1706. It is expected that the older Broucards followed this pattern also.
In 1690 Hans Teunis Covert appears to have purchased land in Queens Co. NY with a Bourgen Broecord, presumably his father-in-law (though possibly a brother of Jannetje). By 1702, both Hans and Bourgen Brocard were living in Somerset Co., NJ and together they purchase 2000 acres "at the mouth of the Millstone River".
In 1706-07, Hans Covert sold Newtown land, co-owned by him and two other Millstone residents, an Isaac Bourga (a Brokaw spelling?), and an Andrew Bird, Jr., possibly related to Thomas Bird, husband of Hans Covert's oldest daughter Catherine.
No additional information is presently known about the residence, children, burial site etc. of the Broucard family.

- Dutch Kills, Brooklyn, Long Island: Per Wikipedia,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Kills,_Queens
Dutch Kills was a hamlet on a navigable tributary of Newtown Creek. It remained a community of farms during the 19th century, and in 1870 consolidated with Hunters Point, Ravenswood, Astoria & Steinway to form Long Island City, Queens NY. Dutch Kills "occupied what today is centrally Queensboro Plaza."
Newtown Creek forms part of the boundary between present-day Queens Co. (Queens) & Kings. Co. (Brooklyn). It runs parallel to and just soutn of I-495 which crosses the East River into Manhattan at the Queens Midtown Tunnel. The southernmost tributary runs northward from an area of Kings Co. (Brooklyn) just SE of I-278,the Brooklyn Queens Expy,, into Newtown Creek in Queens. - Identity of baptism witnesses (for Bragon Covert) Ysaac Brokaer & Marritje Coevers are unknown. Ysaac Brokaer could be a grandparent; or they could be an aunt & uncle.
