I think it's pretty clear from findagrave, other sources, and an analysis of birth/marriage/death dates that there are two Hendrickjes, both daughters of @Steven Coerten Van Voorhees. The elder was the daughter of Steven and @Aeltje Hauels Wessels, born around 1634 married to a Kiers, and died circa 1705. The younger was the daughter of @Willempje Roelofse Van Voorhees (Seubering), born around 1660, married to a Terhune, and died circa 1693.

I propose that we clean up Hendrickje's profile by creating a second profile for Hendrickje "the elder", fixing the relationship links to account for the new profile, and transfer overview information as needed to the new profile. It might help to actually refer to them as "the younger" and "the elder", especially since the younger one is referred to in this way in a church document. The only change to anyone's ancestry will be that some would find that their distant ancestors might be Wessels rather than Seuberings.

Unless there are objections, I'll make these changes in the next day or two. Okay?
