Does any other evidence exist, as this looks like a very amateur assumption that has then been propagated for hundred(s?) or years.
Still not sure of this person to go further than a match.
With that in mind, the mother Trynjte has matches with a more prevalent 1626 birth, and so I think that makes more sense than the current birth about 1619 on the mother Trynje as attached here before merges. But I am saving all the dates to the bios for later study.
