DeWitt-913 and De Witt-199 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest maternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge. No tree conflicts. Please merge into De Witt-199, with space after prefix per NNS convention on deep ancestors. Thanks!

Anna maria is clearly not the daughter of nd Marritje Janse Van Den Bergh as she was attached here upon creation. Anna was born after Maritje's death, and Marritje is tool old to be the mother.

Also, there is a big gap in the birth sequence before Anna and the other children of Marritje. And the baptism source identifies the mother as "Anna Maria," so it makes more sense to me that this child Anna was instead the daughter of the second wife, Maria Teunis.

So with all that evidence, I am going to detach this conflicting Marrijte mother.
