"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 Tenuis Swart the first settler, by whom he had two sons and one or more daughters." Cornelis "was one of the two licensed tapsters of the village, his inn being on the south corner of State street and Mill lane near Church street. He was succeeded here by Douw Aukes, who married Maria Viele his grand-daughter. It was at his house that the traditional merry making was going on when the village was destroyed on the night of the 8th Feb., 1689/90; Aukes' wife, two children and a negro servant were slain, and his brother-in-law, Arnout Viele was carried away to Canada." Cornelis sold his land on the "north side of the river" to his dau., Jannetje, wife of Johannes Dyckman. His "wife was Suster (sister ?) ----- possibly of Mohawk blood. Children: Arnout Cornells, Pieter, Volkert, bp. Dec. 1, 1689, (died without issue), Jannetie (wife of Johannes Dyckman), Debora (wife of Daniel Ketelhuyn)."
