A child named Vroutje was baptized 12 Dec. 1643 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam as the child of Hillegond Joris and without witnesses. On 7 July 1644, Tryntje Jonas, the official midwife, made a declaration "respecting a confession of Hillegond Joris as to the paternity of her child." On the 9th and 11th of July four persons declared that "Hellegond Joris had said that Jan, the pilot of the Seven Seas, was the father of her newly born child." On the 14th the Fiscal (Sheriff) brought suit against Laurens Cornelissen, skipper of the Maid of Enckhuysen, for (1) smuggling, (2) adultery with Hellegond Joris, and (3) speaking disrespectfully of the director-general (the second charge having been denied under oath on 28 July, it was dismissed) [Calendar of Dutch MSS 28, 89 f.].

Hillegond Joris was one of the official midwives of New Amsterdam, and she appears as a witness at many baptisms. Here is a record of Hillegond's appointment (and suspension) as midwife in 1655:

I did some research on Hillegond Joris some years back, and here is a summary of what I found:
