Birth

• In Theodore M. Banta's "A Frisian Family...", baptism date of 5 October 1685 is presented. This would indicate a DoB of September or early October 1685, based on a child usually being baptized within a month of birth. She was married in 1705, so based on her being 20 years old when married, she would have an estimated DoB of 1685. Just using these two factors, I feel sure of a DoB of circa September 1685, until a more accurate source for birth is presented. For this reason, I have adjusted the DoB to about September 1685. (Arthur Van Riper,13 Jan 2022)
• Other sources I have looked at: Family Search, Geni.com, Ancestry.com, etc, all provide a DoB of 1685. I realize these sources are not conclusive but are thrown in for information only. (Arthur Van Riper,13 Jan 2022)
