Pieter Claesen Wyckoff (ca. 1620 – June 30, 1694) was a prominent figure in Dutch and later English colonial Kings County, Long Island, New York. Most persons surnamed Wyckoff in North America, including many variations in spelling, can be traced to his family.〔Wyckoff, William Forman (1950) ''The Wyckoff family in America''. Wyckoff Association in America, Summit, NJ, USA〕 After some time spent at Rensselaerwyck, near present day Albany, New York, in 1655 Pieter moved his family into a rented house in New Amersfoort (present day Flatlands, Brooklyn). Pieter Claesen prospered here, 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.〔 The Wyckoffs are prominent members in Manalapan, New Jersey. ==Lineage== Because of the work of a fraudulent genealogist, it was mistakenly presumed for many decades that Pieter was born the son of Claes Cornelissen van Schouw and Margaret van der Goes. In 1932, Charles Arthur Hoppin (''The Washington Ancestry and Records of The McClain, Johnson, and Forty Other Colonial American Families'', prepared for Edward Lee McClain; Greenfield, Ohio: Privately Printed; 173-174) 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,” (''The American Genealogist'', 22:70-71). "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 been found in any public record," (''Wyckoff Bulletin'', 1986, page 18). 〔http://www.worldcat.org/title/wyckoff-family-bulletin/oclc/1714523&referer=brief_results〕
