This merchant family most probably originated in Westphalia. Several representatives of the family were high-ranking guild members in Riga.
It appears that during the 1600s, one branch of the family was ennobled (see Der Adel der russischen Ostseeprovinzen. T. 2, Der nichtimmatrikulirte Adel).
- the merchant Wilhelm Borgentrik seems to have been an early supporter of the Reformation, particularly of Hermann Marsow, in Livonia
