Parents have been added to Gerrit Willemsz Willemse

There are no sources for these parents, and they conflict: Gerrit Willemsz Anna Willemsz Soetge Willemse

http://www.e-family.co.za/ffy/g7/p7296.htm doesn't find parents either.

I'm going to cut and lock the parents until we have uploaded the sources for them. It would be brilliant if there were sources - so I'm definitely hoping we can prove who needs to be re-attached here.

His date of death 1716 or 1720 ?
Any source for that or a guess.

Both dates for Gerrit's death should be disregarded considering:

a) birth dates of Gerrit's children (Gerrit & Suzanna) by second wife Anna van Wijk, and
b) Gerrit having an existing outstanding debt of some 642 Rijksdaalders listed in inventory of Estate Arnoldus Kruijsman dated 5 December 1722.

It would therefore seem reasonable to assume that Gerrit was not deceased before this date.
