- Maalwtck.
Next west of the Hoek, lies a tract called from the earliest times, Maalwydk, — a name of obscure origin and signification.
Benjamin, or Bent Roberts first purchased this farm of the natives, with the approbation of the magistrates of Albany, — 36 acres of land, together with 40 acres of woodland, which was confirmed to him July 1, 1669.
This bouwery lay opposite to Arent [ Bratt], tbe norman's hindmost lot of land. After Roberts' death his land passed to his two step-sons, Joseph and Pieter Clement, who disposed of it, together with Beuten island, to Carel Hansen Toll and Cornelis Viele, Nov. 24, 1735, Toll taking the easterly half of the land, and westerly half of the island and Viele, the remainder. The farm is still in the possession and occupation of a descendant of Carel Hansen. J
Second Flat.
This flat extends from Rector's easterly, and in 1864 was owned by
Gerrit Barhydt, 17 acres.

The Second Flat proper, was originally taken up about 1678, — the eastern half by Pieter Cornelise Viele, and the westerly half by Jan Janse Joncker, alias Rotterdam.
Viele died early and his wife, Jacquemina Swart, married Benonny Arentse Van Hoeck, who was killed at Schenectady, in 1690. Afterwards she married Cornell's Vynhout, of Ulster county, and in 1699 they conveyed her share of this flat to her son, Lewis Viele, — 19 morgens, 82 rods. Lewis, about 1709, conveyed the same to Ryer Schermerhorn for "ye behoof e of said town " of Schenectady, — 18 morgens, and in 1718, the patentees of Schenectady conveyed the "easternmost end of said flat to Reyer Schermerhorn, bounded south, by the river, west, by heirs of Jan Jans'e Joncker, north, by woodland, in all, 17 morgens Rynland measure — together with 17 morgens woodland on the north side of the Second Flat."

- Pieter Cornelise Viele.
Two brothers of this name were among the early settlers of Schenectady. Pieter Cornelise and Cornells Cornelise Viele.
Pieter came to Schenectady with his brother Cornelis, senior, and in company with Elias Van Gyseling purchased De Winter's bouwery in 1670.* His wife was Jacomyntje, daughter of Tennis Swart the first settler, by whom he had two sons and one or more daughters. He died sometime before 1690, after which his widow married Bennony Arentse Van Hoek, who was killed in the massacre of 1G90. She subsequently married Cornelis Vinhout and removed to Ulster county, where she was living as late as 1700.
Viele's village lot was confirmed to him by patent of date Oct. 21, 1670, " containing as it lies along the highway 200 feet, having to the west Bent "Bagge and on the east the woodland; as also another small piece of land " for a plantation, of two morgens or four acres bounded west by the fence " of Claas Van Petten and on the lot aforementioned, * * behind on the " line of Pieter the Brasihaen's lot."f
On the 12th Dec, 1684, Pieter Viele and Jan Janse Jonckers obtained a conveyance from the trustees of Schenectady of the Second flat, next above Maalwyck on the north side of the river, the former taking the easterly 17 morgens and the latter, the westerly 17 morgens. After his widow's removal to Ulster county, she conveyed her bouwery on the Second flat in 1699 to her only surviving son, Lewis Viele, who about 1708 being about to remove to Schaghticoke, reconveyed the same to the patentees of Schenectady; and they on the 25th March, 1718, conveyed it to Reyer Schermerhorn.J
