I think she must have been one of the "twee onegte Bruijne kinderen" born from the relationship between Isaac Pietersz and Maria Cornelisz:-

"Vir 'n tydlank het Isaac Pietersz sy intrek by GERRIT WILLEMSZ van Leeuwarden geneem. Die laaste vier jaar daarvan, het laasgenoemde getuig, het Isaac Pietersz hom in sy eie huis "aangesteld als meester en voogt, 't geen . . . hem ondragelijk geweest te zijn". Op 'n keer het Pietersz hom selfs aan die hare uit sy eie huis gesleep en toe sy vrou oorgeneem, met wie hy in elk geval "seer groote familiaritijt" gehad het. Uit hierdie verhouding is toe "twee onegte Bruijne kinderen" gebore."

Rough translation by Sharon Doubell March 2017: "For a time, Isaac Pietersz took up residence at Gerrit Willemsz of Leeuwarden. The last four years it has been witnessed that the latter, Isaac Pietersz appointed himself as as master in his own house and in payment, to noone. To be with him had been unbearable." At a time Pietersz even drew him up by the hair & threw him out of his own house and then took his wife, with whom he had in any case a family. From this relationship two illegitimate brown children were born. As a result of this eviction Gerrit Willemsz of Leeuwaarden has since had to wander around to look for subsistence from other colonists. on http://www.stamouers.com/willemse.htm

At her baptism on 25 Dec 1712 no father is mentioned: "Geertrùijt, (d' Vader niet genoemt) d' Moeder Marij Cornelisz 25 xbr 1712." See attached source document.
