History of Richmond County, New York, 1887
Burger / Burgher Family
These, at the Present day, are two distinct families, who write their names as above.
Johannes Burger, from Giesman, came over in the ship "Stettin," September, 1662; but where he settled is not known. There was an Elias Burger and Susanna Whitman, his wife, who had a son Nathan, baptized February 23, 1724, and this is the first record of the name in the county.
Colonel Nicholas Burgher was born January 23, 1768, and died May 23, 1839; he was the father of Matthias, John, James G., David and several other children. John was the father of David Burgher, of Edgewater, the present representative of the family spelling their name with an h.
The other family, who eschew the h, and adhere to the original orthography, are of comparatively recent connection with the island.
David D. Burger was born in South Carolina in 1777, and settled on Staten Island in 1814, where, he died, in February, 1831. He left several sons, of whom Nicholas, of Four Corners, and Samuel, of Bull's Head, survive.
