De Bruin de Bruijn-2 and De Brúyn-271 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate. Numerous other family members also duplicated.

He could not have re-married Cornelia Burger in 1753. Elizabeth's Inventory of 1761 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BY-H9Q9?i=743 states that she had 3 children ages 3 to 7. The youngest being born in 1759

In reply to the error in the database...

It stems from Jordaan-146, the spouse Anna Susanna de Bruin formerly Jordaan, Born 1810, is linked to the wrong Hendrick Jeremias. She should be de-linked and re-linked to one of the descendants instead? Maybe Rene van de Reede can help?
