Styntje is mentioned in the settlement of her father's estate.
"Anna, wife of Luycas Gerritze, shall have in advance a bed, two pillows and a bolster, for the reason that Volkie has heretofore promised them, and then the residue of the whole estate, lands, houses, etc., real and personal property, nothing excepted, shall be distributed equally among the eight children and heirs, to wit, Juriaen; Styntie, wife of Jan Tysse; Anna, wife of Lucas Gerritse; Marya, wife of Hendk. Coenraetse; Catharina, wife of Frenck Hardingh, Johannis, Jacob and Volkert van Hoesem, on condition that Juriaen shall have the prior right and privilege to buy the farm or lands or other real estate, provided he pay his brothers and sisters what four impartial men shall judge the same to be worth."

Dates are inconsistent, but they look like estimates. Based on the dates of her children, I estimate she was born no later than 1645 (but could be earlier).
Christyntje's profile shows death in the Netherlands (no source), but I think she died in New Netherland.
