Biography
Rijckje was born about 1636, apparently in Utrecht in the Netherlands. She was a daughter of Hendrick Van Dyck and Divertje Botjagers.[1]
She emigrated to New Netherland. She married Jan Dareth, also from Utrecht, in New Amsterdam in 1654. The marriage of Jan Dareth Van Uijtrecht and Rijckje Van dijck, Van Uÿtrecht, was recorded in the Reformed Dutch Church in New Amsterdam on 1 November 1654.[2]
She is named in her father's will (dated 13 August 1655) as Ryche, married to John Deveritt.[1]
After the death of John Dareth, she married Dr. Jacob de Hinsse in February or March 1671. He died, and her third husband was Dr. Jacob Staats.[1]
She passed away in 1709.[3]

Research Notes
Names
Based on her marriage record (the earliest record we have that gives her name), her given name is determined to be Rijckje and her last name at birth (LNAB) is determined to be van Dijck. The ÿ character seen in the printed version of her marriage record in names like Rÿckje and Uÿtrecht is a representation of the Dutch digraph "ij." Dutch orthography does not include the letter y, and it calls for the digraph to be represented by "ij." Additionally, the nonstandard case seen in "Van dÿck" is corrected.

I do see a Josias Dret in New York colony baptizing his daughter Catherine in 1691 with his wife Aeltie Adolfs. See
Perhaps Josias is a son of Jan Dret or Jan (Doreth) Dret (abt.1621-bef.1663).
Let me know if you have any thoughts or insight in this matter.

Furthermore, seeing that there's a lot of history of people proposing or proclaiming a variety of connections (some of them very incorrect) between New Netherland families and others with recorded names that include the letters D and R (examples: Dret, Drake, Doreth, Driggs, de Raet, Drats, Draeck), I'd be especially cautious about drawing conclusions based on similarity of name spellings for names in that group.
The Josias Dret you mention is Josias Janszen (Drats) Drake (abt.1647-1701) and I believe the wife you call "Aeltie Adolfs" is Aeltje Brouwers (abt.1664-1707), daughter of Adam Brouwer.
There's little doubt that the Aeltje Adolfs on that baptism record is the same person as Aeltje Brouwer. As a Dutch person, she presumably had a patronymic name (in her case, the name would identify her as the daughter of Adam, and might appear as the feminine forms Adams or Adamsdochter, or maybe in a masculine form such as Adamse or Adamsz) in addition to her family name of Brouwer (which also got spelled as Brouwers and Brower and possibly other variations). It isn't unusual to see a person get recorded by a patronymic name in a couple of records, even though they were usually recorded with a family name (or vice versa). The simplest explanation for her name appearing as "Aeltje Adolfs" is that a domine wrote her name down as "Aeltje Adams," his handwriting was hard to interpret, and "Aeltje Adams" was transcribed as Aeltje Adolfs. Whether or not that's what happened, I think we can safely chalk it up to "mistake."
When there's uncertainty about family relationships, I often find it helpful to look up all of the records that can be found for each person, then document the details in the profile (particularly in a Church Records section that includes complete but unadulterated details of marriage and baptism records) and then review the records for patterns. I did that with Josias Janszen (Drats) Drake (abt.1647-1701). I see a strong connection to people named Brouwer( (Aeltje's family) in the records of baptism witnesses, but no indication of baptism-witness interactions with anybody named Plettenburg (or its variant spellings). Plettenburg is the name of the wife of Jan (Doreth) Dret (abt.1621-bef.1663), and the Plettenburg name appears frequently in the records for Jannetge Dret (bef.1655-abt.1700). Since Josias and Jannetge were having children in the same general area at the same time, if Josias was a sister of Jannetge I would expect to see the Plettenburg name in some of the baptisms he participated in.
The parents currently connected to Josias Janszen (Drats) Drake (abt.1647-1701) are dubious, but we can disconnect a person from wrong parents without assigning them to different parents.
So far no parents named Henrick Thomas van Dijck an Divertje Cornelis Botjaegers (tried all kinds of spellings and with and without last name van Dijck or Botjagers)
That page (which is extensive) says (in part):
Jan Dareth was born about 1636 in Utrecht, Holland. He married Ryckje Ulrica Van DYCK after 1 Nov 1654 at the Reformed Dutch Church in New Amsterdam. In 1657 he bought a house and lot in Beverwyck, where he became a permanent resident. Jan died before 10 May 1669 in Beaverwyck (Albany), NY.
Children of Jan and Ryckje: 1 Jannetje De RAEDT (Dret) Born 1655 in Phillipsburg, Westchester, New York. Marrried Johannes Paulusen JUROKSEN (Johannes Paulus Jurcks) 9 Jul 1681 at the (Phillips Manor, Westchester NY) or Reformed Dutch Church, New York, NY
The biography there says:
New Amsterdam Immigrant - She sailed with her parents from Amsterdam, 25 May 1640, in the ship Waterhondt'
Ryckje (Ryckie) Ulrica Van Dyck was born about 1636 in Utrecht, Holland. Her parents were Hendrick Thomasse Van DYCK and Divertje Cornelise BOTJAGERS. She sailed with her parents from Amsterdam, 25 May 1640, in the ship WATERHONDT, her father bearing a commission of Ensign Commandant in the service of The Dutch West India Company, and accompanied by a company of foot-soldiers to reinforce the garrison of Fort Amsterdam. After Jan died, she married Jacob de Hinsse in 1671. De Hinsse did not live too long either and before too long, she married Jacob Staats and had two children by him. Ryckje died in Sep 1709.
