| Notes |
- Possibly the first Claesen in North America, but Pieter did not take the Wyckoff name until the British mandated that an established surname be used in 1687 when Pieter took the oath of allegiance. Pieter arrived in 1636 or 1637. There is no record of him paying passage for the trip on the Rensselaerswyck, although he arrived in Fort Orange from New Amsterdam on the ship once the ice on the Hudson was clear enough for the trip.
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.
