"Geertje (Gerritje) Willems Horst, was baptized on 28 June 1682 in Nieuw-Loosdrecht, daughter of Willem Bartsz Horst and Neeltien Adriaens Meijers. Gerritje married before 1706 Pieter Jansz Bok (born before 1685)" [1]
Willem B. Horst and Neeltje A. Meijers are the claimed parents for Gerritje, but both are born in the 1650, so that relationship is impossible. With her patronymic Willemsd, it is likely that Gerritje is daughter of a different Willem Horst. Despite her impossible late death date, Gerritje appears to be in the correct 1620s birth generation, based on her claimed descendants. More information is needed to determine where the error lies. note: the error lies in the wrong year of birth and she's attached to the wrong husband now..according this online genealogy she was married to Pieter Jansz Bok...

So if we could correct things like this, there's no need to merge this profile away and the duplicate Focke Jansz profiles can be merged also.. (Vooks, the 'last name' of the now still attached daughter, she to correct things, should of course also be connected to the correct mother) probably was just a strange interpret version of the patronymic Fockes ?)
Names her Grietje Hendricks
Listed children Willemtje Fockens; Gesje Fockens; Gerrit Fockensz; Grietje Focken; Hendrick Focken; Jan Heromans (Focken); Egbert Fockenszen and Catharina Fockens
No known son "Willem" so perhaps circumstantial evidence of Grietje's father being Hendrick rather than Wellem.
That couple has nothing to do with New Netherland, or this girl. So I am simply going to detach them from here. Profiles are linked in the bio note.
But I still have her currently tagged and project protected as a Settler, and she appears to be fine as mother of Willemtje Vooks.
But please work on providing some accurate date and location information for Gertje.
