Johannes Pietersen Bas

Mistake as to mother corrected

as carefully explained in the 1999 work of Perry Streeter on free pages

"As a correction to Riker's Harlem, it seems evident that Pieter's son Johannes was born to his first wife, Willemyntje Jans, rather than to his second wife, Elizabeth "Lysbeth" Jans. Johannes could have been named in honor of Willemynte's or Elizabeth's father but the simple fact that he named one of his daughters Willemyntje and none Elizabeth or Lysbeth is probably sufficient cause to form this conclusion. Additional proof is provided by the transaction below, in which Elizabeth's son, Jacob, clearly stated that he had only one brother and two sisters, making no reference to his elder paternal half-siblings:
