The "Early New Netherlands Settlers" webpage has misquoted the article above in saying that Abraham married in 1684.
As noted on Abraham's profile, many genealogies name only one wife, perhaps because the will, made April 21, 1683, names Tryntie Joachims. Both wives Tryntje and Catrina, however had the same patronymic, being in both cases a daughter of a different Jochem.
So it seems clear to me that we need to detatch both daughters from this Catrina, and then set them for merge into the matching Elizabeth Staets-43.
