It is possible that Herxker is derived from her first husband's name but two things suggest otherwise. First this is decades before the English so her name should be entirely her own and nothing to do with her husband. Second her previous husband's name is recorded as Hendrick in the same document (i am assuming at this point that Herxker is some form of Hendrik). Third if she was born 1582 the second marriage in 1645 would be age 63, why would a Jongeman marry a 63 year old woman? Why would any man go to the effort to formally marry a widow aged 63?
But she appears to be okay as mother of all of her children. However, I think she is attached to the wrong husband, for a 1615 marriage, and her correct husband should be Hendrick's father Hendrik Harman.
This appears to be a generational error in the source, as it appears in all of the matches for the children. So I will plan to move all of the older children to that older generation Hendrik, born 1590, since none of those children make sense as son of Hendrick born 1610, who married in 1639.
As I look at this tree some more, I think that she was a first wife of Hendrick Harmensen born 1590, and she died before Hendrick's second marriage to a different woman in 1639. I think the two Hendrick's as father and son, 1590 aand 1610, is bogus, and that they should simply be disconnected and then merged into the same man, born 1590. That will be the easiest way to resolve the children's matches in the tree, so I am going to proceed.
On second thought again, a merge of the two Hendricks looks to be problematic, because the younger one born 1610 was killed by Indians in 1643, at age 33. He cannot be the father of the older children who were born in the same decade as he was. But the tree is too confused to be able to properly assign the correct relationships. So I think for now this woman and the children need to stay where they are. But the children duplicates can be merged, where the parents do not conflict. Then it will have be sorted out by generation at a later time, if we get better information.
