    (Summarized) Dirck Claessen, son of Claes Jacobsen and Pietertie Heertgers, was born at Leeuwarden, in Friesland; emigrating with his wife and widowed mother, in 1653. He was a potter. In 1657, when he became a small burgher, he bought a house and lot in New Amsterdam, and set up a pottery, known afterward as "Pot-baker Corner'. Leasing this property in 1662, he came to Harlem to manage his bouwery here, which he sold in 1667. He returned to his pottery in New York, where he died in 1686. He married Wyntie Roelofs, Annetie Dircks, widow, and Metje Elberts. Lists children.
