Niclaes Van Petten(of various spellings) is the immigrant ancestor of most Van Pettens and Van Pattens in this country. He is listed in the Vale cemetery register as Claes Van Pette because the final "N" in his name has broken off the stone. Buried first at Green St. Cemetery in the Stockade, his stone was moved to Vale Cem., Schenectady, NY in 1879.
In 1683-94 he owned a farm at Papscanee below Albany; 1690 was appointed Justice of the Peace by Leisler. He evidently moved back to Schenectady as he was deacon there in 1703 and is buried.
BILL OF SALE: 21 Jan 1678-9, Bill of Sale from Meus Hoogeboom to Claes van Petten of a half-interest in the sloop "The Royal Oak". This sloop was used to transport wheat and other goods along the Hudson River. Claes sold his interest in the boat a year or so later ......

According to the "Genealogies of the Descendants of the First Settlers of the Patent and City of Schenectady, from 1662 to 1800 by Jonathan Pearson(Albany,NY: J.

In 1668 he bought, in company with Cornelis Viele, the bouwery of Martin Van Isselsteyn, lying next west of Reyer Schermerhorn's farm; and remaining in the family for several generations. Schermerhorn was his brother-in-law. In 1683-94 he owned a farm at Papscanee Island below Albany. There is a story that he was removed from the Schenectady Stockade, perhaps in 1683, for doing illegal business with the Indians. This may be one reason he survived the massacre of 1690 by the French and Indians coming down from Canada. He had at least 6 children.
