Bogardus was Scottish by birth, the daughter of the Reverend Archibald Maclay. Margaret Maclay emigrated to the United States in 1805,[2] marrying James Bogardus in 1831.[3] For a while after their marriage, Bogardus' paintings supported her husband, an inventor who would become known for his cast-iron buildings.[2] In 1942 she became one of the first female members of the National Academy of Design, where she would exhibit until 1846.[2]

Her work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum,[1] the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York[4] and the National Portrait Gallery, Washington.[5]
