Disputed Relationships

This profile is part of the Wyckoff Name Study.

Recent research into the Wyckoff family name, including Pieter Claessen Wyckoff, has called into question some of the historical sources used to identify the origins of this family and its surname. Please read and consider all sources carefully. See posts and see G2G and G2G discussion, What is the origin of the surname Wyckoff and who were Pieter Claesen Wyckoff's parents? Dec 8, 2014. See for all previous and many disproven info Freespace page Wyckoff Family. The commonly accepted claim that Pieter's father was Claes Corneliss (van Schouwen) is disproven and the connection has been removed from this profile.

For the most recent and scholarly research available on the origins of Pieter Claeszen [Wyckoff], please see M. William Wyckoff, PhD, What’s in Name? History and Meaning of Wyckoff, (Rochester, NY; 2014); iv and 58 pages with maps and illustrations; available at https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/549029-what-s-in-a-name-history-and-meaning-of-wyckoff or Amazon.com. For a book review of the same by Harry Macy, Jr. FASG, FGBS, please see The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record (146[October 2015]:312); the review concludes with the statements that “…Pieter Claeszen was a Frisian from Norden and derived his name from the Wykhof farmstead. Wyckoff descendants will want to purchase this book to better understand the evidence that this is their ancestor’s correct ancestry.”

Biography

Pieter (Claesz) Wijckhoff is Notable.

Pieter Claesen Wyckoff (ca. 1620 – June 30, 1694) was a prominent early figure in Kings County, Long Island, New York. He superintended the bowery (farm) and cattle of Peter Stuyvesant in New Amersfoort (present day Flatlands, Brooklyn). Pieter Claesen prospered there and acquired land and became a local justice of the peace, and was influential in establishing the Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church at the juncture of Flatbush Avenue and Kings Highway in Brooklyn, where he and his wife Grietje are thought to be buried. ^[1]

Pieter Claesen was 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 Rensselaerwyck (in the vicinity of modern Albany, New York). After Claesen worked off his indenture in 1643, he labored as a tenant farmer, leasing land from the Rensselaer patroonship.^[2]

He married Grietje Van Ness (c. 1625-c. 1701) around 1645. Their first two children were born in Rensselearwyck but he moved to New Amersfoort (present day Flatlands, Brooklyn). His children included:

Pieter and Grietje raised eleven children: six sons and five daughters. All of the children grew to adulthood, married and had famililes. The Wyckoffs were a very prominent family and all of their children married into families of importance in the area.

Summary Court minutes

Pieter Wyckoff and his father-in-law Cornelis Van Nes and his mother-in-law Mayken Hendricks van den Burchgraeff are cited in court minutes off and on from 1648-1650. Basicallly Pieter and his in-laws accused the new director of the colony of Rennselaerswyck with cheating Pieter.

Demands Cornelis pay a fine of 25 guilders and make good the loss of straw. Cornelis had refused do do this on Nov 18th so on Nov 19th the Director attached the person of Van Nes and all his property, forbidding him to leave the colony: that he should vacate the house and barn next New Year & shortly render to the director a specified account of everything, including the trade, for each year separately. ^[18]
