Thank you for all this information: Ann Ramsey.

Just one correction: The mutation for Variegate Porphyria in South Africa is R59W and they still presume it must be from Ariaantje Jacobs SM/PROG my 7th great grandmother and or/maybe Gerrit Jansz van Deventer.... ?

Given as a Possible Son

Gerrit Jansz van Deventer Born: Abt 1660-1663, Veldcamp, Netherlands Born: Abt 1660-1663, Field Camp, Netherlands

NO mention of him being a son of Jan Pietersz van Deventer or a possiblity of other sons or children appear in the Vandeventer genealogies by Paul Vandeventer and Cristobelle van Deventer than the 5 listed above under the "Family Group Sheet" section.

Notation found on this is:

Someone has just written to me asking about Gerrit Van Deventer who m. Arriantje Jacobs van den Berg and left for South Africa. According to Mr. Velde, sufferers of porphyria variegata (with the gene R 9 W) are descendants of this Gerrit VD. - - He is suggesting that Gerrit might have been a brother of Jan Petersz, the original VD ancestor who arrived in Brooklyn in 1662.
Sadly I did not make more notation as to when it was written or if I picked the comment up in research -

his father, his wife and children are listed as:
