Usquert, a village in the Dutch province of Groningen, in which Anabaptism was found as early as 1533; later there was a Mennonite congregation here belonging to the Flemish branch, not Old Flemish as were most congregations in this province. Of its history there are only a few traces: it was in the 18th century a member of the Humsterlandsche Sociëteit; the [[Naamlijst der tegenwoordig in dienst zijnde predikanten der Mennoniten in de Vereenigde Nederlanden|Naamlijst]] issues of 1731 and 1743 name Jan Jansz as the preacher; he was apparently the last preacher here; according to the issues of 1755-65 the pulpit was vacant, and in those of 1766 ff. the congregation is not named. Yet it seems to have existed until 1784, in which year its property was divided.
