Pieter Claesen Wyckoff
M, #2854, b. 26 January 1625, d. 30 June 1694
Pieter Claesen Wyckoff might have been born in the village of Norden in the Holy Roman Empire (present day East Friesland, Germany). Pieter emigrated to America in 1637, as an indentured servant to Kiliaen van Rensselaer, in Rensselearwyck (now Albany, New York). After Claesen worked off his indenture, he labored as a tenant farmer, leasing land from the Rensselaer patroonship
Pieter came to Fort Orange (now Albany, NY), Province of New Netherlands, April 7, 1637 on the ship Rensselaerwick.
He was 13 years old. The log of this ship contains the following: "This ship sailed from Amsterdam, Holland, 25 Sept. 1636, anchored off the seaport, The Texel, on 8 Oct. 1636, reached New Amsterdam, New Netherland, 4 March 1637, and Tuesday, 7 April 1637, about three o'clock in the morning we came to anchor before foort aeranien [Fort Orange], the end of our journey upward."
Pieter married Grietje Corneli VanNess (1627-1689) in 1645 at Renssalaer, New York, United States. He was 20 years old and Grietje was 18. She was the daughter of Cornelius Hendrick VanNess (1602-1684) and Maycke Hendrieux VanDerBurchgraeff (1602-1664).
Pieter was a prominent figure in Dutch and later English colonial Kings County, New York. All persons surnamed Wyckoff in North America, including many variations in spelling, can be traced to his family. He acquired land and became a local judge (justice of the peace). He was influential in establishing the Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church at the juncture of Flatbush Avenue and Kings Highway in Brooklyn, NY. There is a bronze placque in the church honoring him and it is said he was buried in an area where a portion of the church stands.. According to "The Wyckoff Family in America - A Genealogy" by William F. Wyckoff, Pieter was said to have been "a man of over six feet tall and large in proportion, that he had blue eyes and tawny yellow hair, high and prominent cheek-bones, a broad face and a firm square chin." When the British took over the Dutch colony in 1664, Pieter Claesen adopted the fixed surname of Wyckoff.

| Misc | Wyckoff House. This house in its oldest part, which is th e lower part of the building lying to th e west, is the oldest building in New York City and State. The steep slope of the roof and the proportions are purely medieval. This wooden, one-story farmhouse is an example of the Flemish Medieval Survival and the Dutch Colonial styles of architecture. The land on which it stands was acquired from the Canarsic Indians in 1636 by Wouter Van Twiller, Director General of New Netherland (1632-8). The property was confiscated by the Dutch West India Company in 1652 and passed to the ownership of the Duke of York when New Ne therland was seized by the English. The property was given to the town of Flatlands in 1667. It was then being lived in by Pieter Claesen Wyckoff. Pieter Claesen (who took the name of Wyckoff after the ceding of New Amsterdam to the English) came from Holland in 1636 and for a time in 1655 was a superintendent on Peter Stuyvesant's farm. He rose to be a man of wealth as well as a magistrate in Flatlands and was one of the representatives at the convention held at Flatbush to send delegates to Holland to lay before the States-General and the West India Company the distressed condition of New Amsterdam. The house remained in the possession of the Wyckoffs until 1901 and has lately been acquired by the foundation established by the Wyckoff Association in America.

| Immigration | 7 April 1637 | Fort Orange, New Netherlands. Arrived on the Rensselaerwick. The trip to New Netherland in this sailing ship began in Amsterdam (the Netherlands) on 25 Sep 1636. By November 7 the ship had reached Spain, but because of high waves and unfavorable winds, they reversed their course and set sail for England. They anchored November 16 at Ilfracombe on the western shore. They remained there until January 9 when they set sail once again. They arrived at Manhatten (New Amsterdam) on March 4. Although their destination was Fort Orange (later known as Albany), they found that the Hudson River was impassable due to ice. On March 26, they resumed their journey, arriving at Fort Orange on April 7. [Notes by Cliff Lamere in the Log of the Ship Rensselaerswyck, attached.] _________________ The founder of the Wyckoff family in America came to Fort Orange®, Province of New Netherlands 7 April, 1637, in the vessel Rensselaerswyck. This ship sailed from Amsterdam, Holland, 25 September, 1636: anchored off the seaport The Texel, 8 October, 1636: reached New Amsterdam, New Netherland, 13 March, 1637: and "Tuesday / April 1637, about three o'clock in the morning we came to anchor before foert oeranien [Fort Orrange] the end of our vovage upward.” The Rensselaerswyck was outfitted by Killian Van Rensselaer, a diamond merchant of Amsterdam, Holland, who had a speculative contract with the West India Corporation for a concession of a large body of land near the head of navigable waters on the Hudson River, under which he was required to transport men and animals to the new country.

There was a son named Richard, born 5 Mar 1691/2 - certainly not a twin and probably died young. The will of William's father mentions no son Robert or Anthony.
