*This record is conjectural as the mother’s maiden name is different.  However, Jan’s patronymic/surname, though varied, is almost unique.  The name Gueckesz (or other variations) is not used by other families within 30 years of Jan’s children’s baptisms.  There is no marriage record for this couple, by any variation of Guecke, nor other baptismal records for their children.  The date of Jan's baptism fits well with what is known of his life later in New Amsterdam.
