Gerrit is then thought to have been killed in a drunken dare. ^[2]

"A certain savage chief named Hacquinsacq, who was considered as heedless even by the savages themselves, having been intoxicated with brandy by our men, being asked whether he was able to make a good use of his bow and arrow when in that state, in reply pointed his arrow at a certain man called Gerrit Yansz, a servant of the deceased Mr. van Nederhorsts, whom he actually killed, asking whether he was able to or not." ^[3]

Geertruy Jacobs, widow of Gerrit van Vorst, then goes to court on 16 Apr 1643 to assure the future of her children, Jan Gerritsen and Jacob Gerritsen van Vorst, before she marries Rouloff Jansen (de Haes?) ^[4]
