Biography
Mattys van der Heyden was an early settler in New Netherland. He presumably was born in the Netherlands. He emigrated to New Netherland, where the only known record of him is a notice of his estate in New Amsterdam court records of September 1659, when he was described as deceased.[1]
His son Jacob Tyssen van der Heyden settled in New Netherland in the 1650s and was the progenitor of a large family.
Two other men with the van der Heyden name who appear in New Netherland records may have been related to Mattys, but there is no proof. Jan Cornelisse van der Heyden was a merchant from Zevenbergen (Sevenborgen), Brabant, Netherlands, and was said to be the son of Cornelis Janssen van der Heyden of Sevenborgen . He married Aeltje Jans Wemp, but he mentioned no children in his will, written in Albany, New York, on 7 September 1663. Schermerhorn reported that a Claes Jansen van der Heyden was mentioned a September 1663 record. His name suggests that he could have been a son of Jan Cornelisse.[1]

Did find a record of his son Jacob and his wife fighting with a Jan Albertsen and his wife. Jacob called Jan's wife a "thievish whore and a beast". Scandalous! http://www.newnetherlandinstitute.org/research/online-publications/fort-orange-court-minutes-1652-1660/
