- ↑ There is the slightest possibility that she could have been the daughter of Jellis Douwsen Fonda and Hester Douwse Van Arentsvelt. She was born about the same time as their children and the Fonda family was in New Netherland at the time of her marriage. However, the Fondas were from Amsterdam and according to the Osterhout records she was from Zaltbommel in Gelderland. Many internet geneologies make this connection, but no sources are provided, and there is no known published source. It is likely that someone speculated on the possibility, and the others just copied the speculation as established fact. The basis for the possibility is only the coincidence of the patronymic and likely birth date.
