In 1932, Charles Arthur Hoppin made it very clear that Pieter Claesen Wyckoff was not the son of Claes Cornelissen van Schouw, in his chapter, “Claes Cornelissen van Schouw, Meutelaer, of Long Island, New York. " In 1945, William J. Hoffman reinforced all of Hoppin’s conclusions through his own analysis in his article, “Claes Cornelissen van Shouw(en) Meutelaer and the Wyckoff Ancestry,” . "There is absolutely no evidence that Claes Cornelissen van Schouw was the father of Pieter Claesen Wyckoff, as has been repeatedly claimed. No connection between them has be found in any public record," (Wyckoff Bulletin, 1986, page 18). Pieter emigrated from Norden to America as a contract farm worker for a period of 6 years at a salary of at first 50 then 75 Guilders annually, working at Rensselaerwyck, near present day Albany, New York. Pieter Claesen made a settlement with the Van Rensellaer estate for the short time remaining on his work contract. He then rented a farm for himself and soon after married Grietje Van Ness, daughter of a prominent local family. She may have brought both wealth and superior education to the family. Their first two children were born in Rensselaerwyck. In 1655 Pieter Claesen signed a contract to superintend the bowery (farm) and cattle of Peter Stuyvesant in New Amersfoort. He moved into a rented house in New Amersfoort. Pieter Claesen prospered here, acquiring land and becoming 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. Pieter Claesen Wyckoff died in 1694 and he may be buried along with his wife Grietje Van Ness in the Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church in Brooklyn, New York.
